Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes Recipe As I mentioned on Friday, I have been doing some experimentation with the beer and chocolate combination. The Guinness-chocolate ice cream that I made totally kicked butt, so I couldn’t wait to see how I liked beer and chocolate in my cake. The answer? I like it, a whole heck of a lot. These cupcakes consist of a Guinness-chocolate cake base, which has a wonderful depth of flavor and is also supremely moist. While you can’t really taste the beer in the cupcakes (it serves as more of a flavor enhancer for the chocolate), you can definitely taste the alcohol in the filling and the frosting. I think I need to start converting more drinks into baked goods, this was too much fun (and way delicious!).

Carrot Cake Recipe at Epicurious yield Makes one 9-by-5-inch or 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch (1 quart) loaf cake Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from James Peterson's book Cooking. Cakes like this carrot cake or banana bread are different than most cakes in that they call for oil, rather than butter. While the oil doesn't contribute much flavor, especially if you use vegetable oil, it does allow you to serve the cakes cold without them hardening, as they would if they were made with butter. Grate the carrot on the finest holes of a box grater that won't turn it to mush, or use the finest grater attachment on your food processor. Preparation Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. While the cake is cooling, make the frosting.

Considering the time of year I think it is very fitting. Maybe I should go red and green when Christmas comes around? I have never made a potato gnocchi before. First and most important you need 1 pound of sweet potato. In the photos I as preparing a double recipe so that is why you see so many potatoes. Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potato for 5-6 minutes on each side, until tender. Slice the potatoes in half and let cool. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and mash, you need 1 1/2 cups of mashed potato. Add Parmesan cheese, brown sugar, 1 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg; mash to blend. Mix in flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until soft dough forms. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface, knead a few times and shape into a rectangle. Here I divided the dough into 6 equal portions because, like I said, I was doing a double recipe.

Mr. X by Carl Sagan by Carl Sagan It all began about ten years ago. I had reached a considerably more relaxed period in my life - a time when I had come to feel that there was more to living than science, a time of awakening of my social consciousness and amiability, a time when I was open to new experiences. I had become friendly with a group of people who occasionally smoked cannabis, irregularly, but with evident pleasure. Initially I was unwilling to partake, but the apparent euphoria that cannabis produced and the fact that there was no physiological addiction to the plant eventually persuaded me to try. My initial experiences were entirely disappointing; there was no effect at all, and I began to entertain a variety of hypotheses about cannabis being a placebo which worked by expectation and hyperventilation rather than by chemistry. I want to explain that at no time did I think these things 'really' were out there. A very similar improvement in my appreciation of music has occurred with cannabis.

Monkey Bread Recipe Monkey Bread has been around forever, most people remember having it when they were kids. Fond memories of the house filling up with the smell of cinnamon followed by eating a sticky treat with your fingers makes the delicious Monkey Bread a certified comfort food. There are different variations; our recipe has optional raisins in it while some like their Monkey Bread with nuts. You can add those or make monkey bread in the original classic way, without either. It really tastes fabulous all on it's own without anything added to it. Kids love this stuff, and being allowed to pull the pieces out themselves makes it all that much more fun. The flavors are perfectly blended in a velvety smooth and luxuriously sticky sauce. While the cinnamon version is thought to be the classic (it's the one most people grew up with), the claim to fame of Monkey Bread actually goes back to the early 1970s with a much different recipe. Monkey Bread Ingredients: Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Icing Recipe 2. 3. 4. 5.

Strand Superyacht - Two for One (by @baekdal) #design I know what you are thinking. It is devilishly hard to decide whether you should get a new yacht, or just get another super car. Right? A yacht is relaxing, but the car is fun. Isn't there a way to do both? Actually, there is. And it has a top speed of an phenomenal 50 knots. And, it comes with a built-in garage for the "Tender."

And it is capable of a cruising speed of 30 knots with a top speed of 40 knots. So there you have it. Follow: 42Concepts
