LOCAL EATERY - GOTTA TRY IT OUT ! ! !

Tonight my hubby and I enjoyed a beautiful dining experience on the water, courtesy of a fellow Chamber of Commerce buddy who owns the place, Captain George.  The view is spectacular, the breeze was just right, and the sandwiches, HUGE and SUCCULENT!
If you are ever in our quaint little town, just drive east to the end of Canal Street, hang a left for about 50 feet, and there, you will find The Dolphin View!
Lorna, the assistant manager, made sure we enjoyed our meal and chatted with us a while.  Had a great time and will definitely return.
For the avid fishermen, a trip on the Pastime Princess will provide a whole day's worth of fishing and you can get your catch cleaned and cooked upon arrival..... Now it can't get any fresher than that!

Kalte Hund Recipe (Cold Dog) - Straight From Germany

My son sent me a sample gift of these tasty treats from Germany last Christmas and they were absolutely delicious.  He finally sent me the recipe which comes directly from the good lady friend who made the treats last Christmas, and I wanted to share it with you.

KALTE HUND (COLD DOG) RECIPE
(Yields 2 layers in Tupperware container, + 1 layer in other dish)

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups icing sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup bitter cocoa powder (perhaps more later)
1/2 cup Nesquick powder
1 1/3 cup coconut oil (Palmin in Germany)
Hi-percentage rum, at least 60% - To taste, so start small
Approximately 8 rectangular shaped waters
Glass dish 7 x 12 lined with aluminum foil (for easy removal when layers are cold)

- Heat up the coconut fat slightly in microwave, then pour it into a large bowl.
- Add icing sugar, eggs, cocoa, Nesquick and rum, and blend well using mixer.
- You may place in refrigerator until the substance becomes viscous and spreadable, but mine felt ready immediately after mixing, so I spread it on the wafers right then and there.
- Place a large wafer sheet at the bottom of dish and spread a thin coating of the chocolate mixture.
- Add another wafer layer and chocolate mixture on top, continuing until you run out of chocolate.  Cover with one last Wafer Layer.
- Now place the dessert in the refrigerator, covered with Plastic Wrap, and lightly weigh it down so that the wafers are pressed together evenly.
- The following day, cut the waters into diamond shapes and keep stored in the fridge.
- YUMMY ! ! !  Thank You Mrs. Schmiedl.
