Lasting Light Poetry February 13, 2003
Dear Readers ~ I wanted to wish each and every one of you a Happy Valentine's Day. I have a new Musing for you to read. You will find the link below. I would also like to thank those of you who wrote to me regarding a link on my website which connected to a very undesirable website, instead of the Poetry.net website it should have been linked to. This link is now gone. ~ I am thankful for each and every one of you and appreciate your continued interest and support of Lasting Light Poetry. ~ Have a heart, and share something sweet with someone this Valentine's Day. Shine on.......Karen

Two Sweet Valentine Recipes From the Board ~
Happy Valentine's Day! ~ Posted by Joni
~~ Black Forest Chocolate Mousse
1 1/4 cups whipping cream In deep, 2-quart bowl, whip cream to form stiff peaks. Reserve 1/2 cup of whipped cream in small bowl; cover and refrigerate. Set aside larger amount of cream.
Thoroughly drain cherries in strainer, reserving 1/4 cup of syrup in small saucepan; add kirsch. Place chocolate chips in container of blender. Bring syrup mixture to boil; reduce slightly to about 1/4 cup. Immediately pour over chocolate chips, and blend until completely smooth, scraping sides of container as needed. With rubber spatula, scrape chocolate mixture into larger portion of reserved whipped cream and fold in until streaks disappear. Fold in cherries, reserving 4 cherries for garnish. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 6 hours.
Spoon into 4 stemmed dessert glasses. Dollop with smaller portion of whipped cream, and garnish with remaining cherries, grated chocolate and mint sprigs.
*Note: You can eliminate kirsch and use a total of 1/3 cup syrup from cherries, bring to a boil and reduce to 1/4 cup.

~~ MACAROON KISS COOKIES ~ Posted by Beatrice
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened Beat butter, cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until well blended. While your waiting. Remove wrappers from Kisses putting them in a bowl and set aside.
Heat oven 350°. HINT: Stir in all 5 cups coconut, then you don't have to roll balls in the coconut, just spoon onto cookie sheet. It's faster and not so messy.
