"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"

in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

Chocolate Cranberry Pie
Ingredients:
1 9" pie shell, baked and cooled
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 cups whippin' cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. grated orange peel
1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
Instructions:
1) Melt white chocolate chips with 1/2 cup whippin' cream
over very low heat, stirrin' 'til smooth. Chill the mixture in your icebox
for approximately one hour.
2) Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 Tbsp. of the cream
over very low heat, stirrin' 'til smooth. Spread over bottom
of the pie shell. Chill for 20 minutes or 'til chocolate is set.
3) Beat the rest of the cream [1-1/4 cups plus 2 Tbsp.] 'til stiff.
4) Beat white chocolate-cream mixture
and fold into stiffly beaten cream.
5) Add orange peel.
6) Layer the cream mixture with the cranberry sauce
over the chocolate layer in the pie shell.
7) Gently run a knife through layers to create a marble effect.
8) Cover well and refrigerate 6-8 hours until firm.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
