SGF whipped up some strawberry lemon marshmallows today (with Absolut Citron in the lemon top - oh yes, I did say Absolut Citron):

They are outstanding. She used all natural flavorings - fresh squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest (grated rind) and freeze-dried strawberries - which come through as very clean and robust flavors (with the Absolut Citron giving the lemon a nice but not overwhelming kick). Also, these are very fluffy but with tooth versus the squishy spongy texture of many mass produced ones. I can't praise them enough - she killed it (written with cheeks puffed out from immaturely chewing two at once ).

That said, we are thinking of separating them out into lemon ones and strawberry ones next time as the the lemon flavor slightly dominates the strawberry which isn't fair as the strawberry (when we cut them and ate them separately) is a really enjoyable on its own.

Next up we are thinking will be a mint chocolate chip marshmallows - I can't wait.

Also, she kicked these marshmallows ⇩ out the other day - hot honey (honey with hot chillies) and bittersweet chocolate. This is them before being cut. They are incredible, the heat, honey and chocolate give them an adult and nuanced taste. They are much more than the average marshmallow.

Thanks for the description. Separating them out is a great idea.

Got a cup of Pückler/Neapolitan icecream, again.

I see what you mean.

Here's the last of them cut into more traditional marshmallow size. I wish you could taste the hot-honey and chocolate combination - it is unusual and, to me at least, enjoyable as the honey and chocolate harmonize nicely with the heat giving it a surprising kick.

While we get that Valentine's Day is a manufactured holiday to sell stuff, we try never to miss an opportunity to make baked goods.

So, SGF made these vanilla cupcakes with pomegranate buttercream icing and pomegranate curd filling (which really gives them a nice punch).

After keeping a decent number for us, we shared some with friends as seen in the third pic.

A mug of good, sweet coffee and some "Schoko-Butterkekse". https://www.google.de/search?biw=13......0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..1.0.0....0.uknopnZ0L6U

Finished up lunch snacking on rib tips from Kenny's Ribs. Best tips and links on the South Side!

Two things, the first thing I think of now when I hear "Cool Whip" is "The Family Guy" Cool-Whip scene and, two, that looks like a simple, tasty dessert, but I'd up the oranges-to-whip ratio.

It is a pretty easy dessert to make. Mix the cream cheese and cool whip along with oranges, bananas or any other fruit until it’s a custard like consistency. Cool in the refrigerator and garnish as desired.

I never watched the Family Guy but that scene was funny.
