New Year's Champagne Cocktail: Nutella Champagne Shooter

Well, I went ahead and tried it. I did use alternative chocolate and hazelnut liquors and didn't terribly like it. Too sweet, and a bit more tootsie roll than nutella.

Not horrible.. and perhaps my fault for not using the proper ingredients.

New Year's Champagne Cocktail: Nutella Champagne Shooter

I'm curious if this would work with a more generic cream de cacao... I'd hate to spend the money on a bottle of Godiva chocolate liquor - I'll simply never use it.

Frangelico is also expensive but... it's delicious and I'll use it all the time. :)

Dinner Tonight: Barack Obama's Chili

I did this and a tofu version on election night. Both were big successes!

Made a few changes...
-Doubled the spices
-added salt
-added about a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper
-added about a quarter teaspoon of crushed red pepper

Turned out great. For the veggie version I just used extra firm tofu instead of beef. Came out great!

WowBacon Microwave Bacon Cooker

What they said... I grew up on microwaved bacon and really like it much more than pan fried (and less mess, too!).

My mom actually had a special microwave platter thing for bacon that drew all the fat away, with ample use of paper towels as well. Been working great for 20+ years.

The only problem is that if your microwave isn't powerful enough bacon can be an almost impossibility.

Otherwise the damn thing is nearly useless.
