Grape Dogs

United States Congressman The Honorable Steven C. LaTourette (Ohio) used his "Grape Dogs" recipe several years ago at a "Real Men Can Cook" contest for a charity in Lake County, Ohio and won. He says Grape Dogs are a crowd-pleasing appetizer at tailgate and cocktail parties, and also says the tangy sauce is delicious with meatballs. -- posted by Mille®

Pop Rocks No Bake Strawberry Lime Cheesecake

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:02:54 -0400

I love Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. I was watching the Northwest episode and the Gypsy dining group came up with a fabulous dessert that engulfed all of the senses. Seeing as how I am in no way going to do this dessert justice, I just wanted to quote what Gypsy described it as: "The second dessert was a lime cheesecake mousse set over the top of an aural crust. Strawberry pop rocks were implanted into the graham cracker crust for a surprising aural firework display with every bite. The dish was accompanied by strawberry sorbet over a salad of black pepper and strawberries, a strawberry sauce, and a fresh grating of lime zest." I have researched the lime mousse techniques and i have just run out of patience on how to keep the rocks from popping before the cake is consumed. So it's basically, no bake, low heat, keep it cool. I cannot come close to coming up with the black pepper and strawberries concoction so i am going to make my cop out, easy version. It might not be completely gourmet, but it is still poppin'. **I plan on revisiting this to make a diet friendly version. -- posted by College Girl

Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese Compound Butter

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:42:56 -0400

This great compound butter is very easy to make. The recipe yields enough in order to make a batch that can be kept in the freezer. From the roll that will be formed, cut what you need and defrost in the refrigerator a day before using. Let the butter sit at room temperature for thirty minutes before cutting medallions and serving on steaks, veal chops and hamburgers. -- posted by Humble Bee
