A Light Dessert You'll LOVE!

Birgit's Yoghurt Bomb

Ingredients:
3 bottles of Rama Cremefine (19%) or 3 x 250ml (US: 3 x 8.5 fl oz) of cream
1 kg (US: 2.2 lb) non-flavored low-fat (0.1%) yoghurt
140 g (US: 0.3 lb) sugar
2 packages (15g each) vanilla sugar

Beat the Cremefine or cream until stiff. Add yoghurt, sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix well.

Line a sieve with a clean linen or cotton kitchen towel and place it in a larger bowl so that there is room around the sieve to catch the liquids that will get drained. Fill the cream/yoghurt mixture into the lined sieve and refrigerate for approx. 24 hours. After 12 hours or so, you may want to check on the setup and discard off any drained liquids that will have accumulated in the larger outer bowl.
After 24 hours, turn the bomb out onto a plate and serve with fresh or frozen fruit, fruit sauce ("Rote Grütze"), eggnog and/or special sweet spices.
This desert always is a big hit wherever I take it - be it a kindergarden party or grandma's birthday! Enjoy!

Play Dough

 

2 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 cup Salt
2 Tablespoons Cream of Tarter
1 PKG unsweetened Kool-aid
3 Tablespoons Oil
2 cups BOILING water





Mix dry ingredients.  Add oil and BOILING water. Mix with large spoon.  I've made this countless times and usually don't need to add more flour, but if it's too wet add more flour slowly.  This Play Dough turns out so great, and lasts for months.  Just put it in a Ziplock.

Hours and hours of fun.

Black Bananas

As a kid I can remember my dad giving my mom a hard time about the black bananas on the counter, and now I get the same strange look about those fermenting black bananas. But, when it comes to great banana bread it's just what you need. My mom gave me her recipe, and I make it pretty regularly. The best part about making it is that you use the bananas after they have gone black. The bread doesn't come out the same if you use just slightly brown, and don't even try yellow! It takes a nice deep black, and they need to be a little smooshie. It sounds nasty, but believe me! Let me assure you there is not a single complaint when the bread is being devoured. Until it's gone that is, and then we wait for the next batch to "ripen".
