Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Wine Snob's Dictionary'
I am a very limited wine drinker since most wines taste like vinegar to me (I'm not odd, it actually runs in the family) The terms I've read on this post have greatly amused me since they're over the top! But I have heard of oaky, earthy and fruity.
Wet horse blanket! HA, what a hoot!

The most awesome dessert my mom made was a German cake called, and forgive the spelling if it's wrong, "Kalte Hund". It was a super rich chocolate, rum, sugar and lard frosting slathered onto a cracker shaped cookie. Using a loaf pan lined with wax paper, (any bigger and it would have taken forever to eat), she would start with a layer of the frosting and then a layer of the cookies, alternating until she came to the top of the pan, ending with a layer of frosting. It then went into the refrigerator until it was thoroughly hardened. Our serving was a very thinly sliced piece. This little loaf would last about a week because it was so rich.
I've never learned the recipe; guess I should so I can enjoy it in the future. I can't say that I'll ever outgrow this dessert. I mean, why should I? To heck with the occasional lard!

My favorite cookies are made with chocolate & vanilla refrigerated doughs made with ground hazelnuts and very little flour. I love creating the pinwheel or checkerboard designs. They're a German cookie I was raised on. MMMM!

I once made a chocolate cake that used ground walnuts instead of flour. I stored the recipe on my computer and when it crashed, I wasn't able to retrieve it. That was, without a doubt, the richest, moistest chocolate cake I ever made.
