| I was thuinking the same thing, Ginger. These will all make great tassie fillings. Roselin, I am always on the look out for key lime reciopes. I have a relative who has a couole of these trees so I get plenty of key limes. And fortunately one of my aunts has a mango tree as well! |

| I had a mango tree too until September, 1995. My place is built on the side of a high hill & the top of the tree was right outside my front door. |
|
| We had one too-in Hawaii. What a mess-this tree was huge and had thousands of those darn things on there every other year and once they hit the ground, the ants would get in them and they had to be thrown away. How many can a family of three eat or even give away? Haven't had one since. Love papayas though-wonder if you can make papaya curd??? L |
|
| Okay, how about chocolate?? 2/3 c water 1 c firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/2c Dutch Process cocoa 2/3c whipping cream 3 T unsalted butter 4 egg yolks, lightly beaten 1 tsp vanilla Combine brown sugar,water, and cocoa in a heavy saucepan. Gradually add whipping cream. Cook over low heat stirring with a whisk until thoroughly heated. Add butter and stir til melted. Then add the egg yolks as above. Cook over low heat for five minutes or until mixture thickens. Add vanilla. Cool RL` |

| Now you're talking! That one has all my favorite food groups in it. |
|
| Now that makes me "happy, happy"!LOL RL` |
|
| Drooling over chocolate also! |
|
| Well, so far for a party, I see fancy little tarts and those tortilla rolls. What else do we need?? RL` |
|
| Roselin, how about some daiquiris? LOL |

| Well, you've got a fruit thing going so how about: MOUNTAINTOP BANANA DAIQUIR 2 oz Cruzan light or gold rum 1 sliced banana 1/2 oz Creme de Banana Splash of Rose's lime juice Mix all in a blender with a cup of ice.~~ |
|
| I will bring some tiny chocolate-cherry cheescakes. I had to do trays for a reception and used those, Ginger's lemon tassies, and small squares of brownies with buttercream icing piped on top. I stuck each of them in those paper miniature muffin cups and mixed up the varieties on the tray. They looked so pretty. The curds are also good spread between purchased ladyfingers (I say purchased because my foray into ladyfinger making was a total failure). |
|
| Well, sounds like we have a good party going here. Daiquiris-boy, does that bring back memories. I met Keith in Japan and almost every weekend, the guys a gals there would get together and have a party of some sort and those were the drink of choice! Think we need something savory-will have to give it some thought. RL` |

| Ruthanna, I bet that did make a pretty tray! If you want to try Ladyfingers again, this is a recipe I've made with great results, thanks to Craig Claiborne. His Madeleines recipe is a winner too. LADYFINGERS (about 18 whole lLadyfingers) Preheat oven to 350°. Sift together 3 times the flour, half of the sugar & the salt. |
|
| You know, girls, I'm not usually a real sweets kind of a person, but you finally got me excited with the daiquiris! (I rarely look at this forum, I must have had ESP about the daiquiris) I love mangoes and would love to come to the party! Can I please come and bring my blue cheese bites just in case I'm not the only one who would like something savory with my daiquiri? |
