Texas TwinkieMahSue

My cousin in Houston was making this one Thanksgiving time visit while I was in Texas. She actually was dipping the Twinkies in the coffee mixture but being a lazy cook, I pour the mixture over the Twinkies. I don’t remember what else she put in except the Cool Whip and so I just made this up to copy what Tiramisu is sort of like.
Prep time including shopping 20 minutes
Ingredients:
15 TwinkiesTwinkies have an infinite shelf life!
1 cup Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
1 cup coffee (strong)
2 Large Boxes Instant Chocolate pudding
5 cups milk
1 Large Cool Whip (let it defrost on the counter)
Chocolate dusting powder

Using a 13 X 9 pan
Place the Twinkies side by side nestled together
Mix to coffee and Kahlua together and drizzle over the Twinkies
Mix the 5 cups milk with the chocolate pudding mixes
Spread the thickened pudding over the Twinkies
Spread the Cool Whip over the pudding
Dust with a good grade of sweetened chocolate powder

Chill for either 5 minutes or an hour and eat.
Serves 16-20 easily.

Savory Moroccan Stew

Well it seems that even an old dog can learn new tricks. I had ordered the Savory Moroccan Stew many times at one of our finest little secrets in Atascadero – Fig Fine Food on Traffic Way. Chris does a wonderful job and also does incredible catering. For a map and opinions see the FIG page on Yelp.com – Just click here for a link to FIG Fine Food with a map. Well after trying theirs for some time I decided to create my own version and I have posted it here in Charley.net under the recipes, along with many other favorites by our friends opinions and maybe yours too! Tell us what you think. Enjoy!
