I'm posting this here for safe keeping. It's a recipe from Poogan's Porch in Charleston, South Carolina.

Poogan’s Peanut Butter Pie

1-8 oz Package Cream Cheese
1 cup Powdered Sugar
3/4 cup Creamy or Chunky Peanut Butter
1 t Vanilla
1/2 cup Whipping Cream, whipped
1-9 inch Baked Pie Crust (the pastry type, not the graham cracker crust)

* Beat cream cheese until soft and fluffy.
* Beat in sugar, peanut butter and vanilla.
* Slowly fold in whipped cream until well blended.
* Pour into baked pie crust and freeze until ready to serve.
* Remove from freezer and let soften 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Most unfair, I love experimenting in the kitchen, but my wifes threats keep me from doing so...

Sidenote: that banana ice cream sounds delicious... though I'd probably add hot fudge to it <3. We've been making our own Mint chocolate chip Ice cream for a while now, I'm not entirely sure how she does it. I think it's like milk, heavy cream, mint extract, sugar , and those semi sweet chocolate chip chunks. 3nodding the only downside is the inability to stop eating it...

Mint chocolate chip is one of my favorites for sure!

Oh and the banana ice cream turned out better than I expected! Next time I make smoothies I think I'll try freezing the bananas first to give it an extra creamy consistency.

Copied from the main forums so I can find it again. Thanks Lily!!

Salmari

Lilygwen

Hmm, I'm not sure. Salmari is popular "souvenir" or "brand item" so I think you could find it some where. I'm not sure how strict your booze legislation is so can you buy strong stuff from normal shops. xp But if you can't find it ready, you can also make it your self. This way it would really be the "real thing". So what you need is some Original Tyrkish Pepper salty liquourice and vodka. How you make it to salmari is that you let the salmiacs melt into the vodka.. and when the stuff is black you have enough salty liquourice in it. whee This is how the shot was invented actually. The Tyrkish Peppers are bit spicy and salty liquourice, but it works really, really well in the shot.

I have one!

Blueberry bun

Normal bun recipe:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk, scalded and skimmed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Filling:
2 cups of blueberries
2 tablespoons of water
0.5 cups of sugar

Instructions:
Make the normal bun dough.

1. Dissolve the yeast in warm milk.

2. Combine the sugar, butter, eggs and salt, then mix in the flour.

3. Mix well to form a dough.

4. Place the dough on a lightly floured board and knead it until it is smooth.

5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and roll the dough around it to grease it all over.

6. Cover the bowl, let the dough rise in a warm place free from draughts for about one hour or until dough has nearly doubled in size.

7. Punch down, and roll the dough on a clean surface lightly dusted with flour. Make a flat disc from the dough about 23inch x 10 inches.

8. Spread the filling to the dough, but leave enough room on the borders of the dough.

9. Roll the dough into a long, tight roll and pinch it shut from the ends. Put the roll on the oven plate (put it over a greaseproof paper, or what ever you call it biggrin ) and make it round or what ever pleases your eye.

10. Cut incisions to the roll and smear it with egg.

11. Bake it in about 200 C (392 F) around 20-25 minutes. Let it cool down before touching it. smile

This is not my picture, but an example what it could look like. smile

(I hope I got the thing translated correctly. The basic bun recipe and instructions of how to make it are straight from another page because that way I could get all the measures correct. )

My boyfriends little sister made this awesome Guinness Chocolate Cake the other day so I just have to share the recipe with you guys. Here's also the cooking blog where she got the recipe.

********************************************************************************
Guinness Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

The cake:
1.05 cups (250ml) Guinness or other dark beer
8.8 ounces (250g) unsalted butter
5.25 tablespoons (75g) dark cocoa
1.75 cups (400g) caster sugar
0.6 cups (142ml) pot sour cream
2 eggs
1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
1.2 cups (275g) plain flour
2 1/2teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

The topping:
10.5 ounces (300g) Philadelphia cream cheese
0.65 cups (150g) icing sugar
0.5 cups (125ml) double or whipping cream

Instructions: Serves: Makes about 12 slices
1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180°C/356 F, and butter and line a 23cm (~9 inces) springform tin.

2.Pour the Guinness into a large wide saucepan, add the butter - in spoons or slices - and heat until the butter's melted, at which time you should whisk in the cocoa and sugar.

3.Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla and then pour into the brown, buttery, beery pan and finally whisk in the flour and bicarb.

4. Pour the cake batter into the greased and lined tin and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Leave to cool completely in the tin on a cooling rack, as it is quite a damp cake.

5. When the cake's cold, sit it on a flat platter or cake stand and get on with the icing. Lightly whip the cream cheese until smooth, sieve over the icing sugar and then beat them both together. Or do this in a processor, putting the unsieved icing sugar in first and blitz to remove lumps before adding the cheese.

6.Add the cream and beat again until it makes a spreadable consistency. Ice the top of the black cake so that it resembles the frothy top of the famous pint.
******************************************************************************

This is soooo tasty and the beer gives a nice flavor without tasting too strongly. heart
