The Final Countdown

The Final Countdown

We're at the two week mark and things are surprisingly calm over here at casa SE! I'm settling into the new job, and the training hours have been super conducive to running wedding errands in the afternoon. Our programs were just printed yesterday, and have been mailed to FMIL in Atlanta for assembly.

Mr. SE and I had a fun little adventure yesterday during our lunch break- we got our marriage license! The processes was simple as ever and we were in and out within a matter of minutes. The ladies working at the Davidson County Clerk were super sweet and were sweet enough to take multiple pictures of us. We walked out of there super happy, and it made for a great start to the weekend!{proof that someone needs to keep doing their arm workouts}

Oh and this morning we realized that not only are we getting married in 14 days, but we're going to Mexico in 16! Woot!

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me

Today I'm celebrating two special occasions: my 23rd birthday, and my 4th anniversary with Mr. SE. How special that they're on the same day!

We don't have any fancy birthday plans. I find it a little hard to celebrate with all the sadness in our city right now. But the rain clouds are gone and the sun is out- so there's the good news!

Espresso Mousse in Chocolate Cup

Forgive me for not cooking anything tasty recently. I've been busy jet-setting (er...car-traveling) all over the place lately, so the best I can offer are pics of some of the delectable treats I've been eating.

This amazing chocolate teacup filled with espresso mousse came from Local Chop and Grill House in Harrisonburg. The restaurant opened in the City Exchange building, a converted seed warehouse, in 2007 and at the time, I wrote an article about the new fancy restaurant. It's since changed its name, its menu and its chef (and possibly its owners!), but all for the better.

When we went, the pastry chef was on her second day and had already schemed up an awesome array of treats for dessert. The mousse was perfect, but I found myself wondering how I could replicate the chocolate teacup. I think I know how to make the handle...but what about the cup itself? Any ideas?

Taking a "sip" of mousse. The musician behind us was hilariously earnest and kinda bad, but at least he gave us something to laugh about.

Title:With Grand Marnier chocolate mousse

Serve the chocolate after a meal not too heavy because the mousse is quite powerful. Divide into smaller glasses or espresso cups.

1
Soak the gelatine 10 minutes in lukewarm water.
2
Beat the eggs with the sugar until stiff. Most easily achieved with a mixer.
3
Melt the chocolate and whisk the cream until thick yoghurt.
4
Pour the Grand Marnier in a saucepan heat a little. Squeeze the gelatin and dissolve well in the Grand Marnier.
5
Mix the gelatin mixture first and then the chocolate into the egg mass.
6
Fold the whipped cream in stages by the warm chocolate mixture before. Would this happen at 1 time, then the mixture is still warm and the cream and the egg too quickly in structure.
7
Let the mousse at least 3 hours to set

Billberry: It's Good For You

Billberry: It's Good For You

{yummy}

I'm in need of a new purse. The one I currently have has been my faithful companion since our introduction at DSW's Christmas 2008 sale. I love her. But we've simply been together too long. I'd love for my new purse to be unisex. You know, capable of working with black OR brown. Enter the most lovely eggplant purple-ish masterpiece. I will name her Lily (it really just popped in my head). Longchamp calls the color "billberry". She's classic, but fun, and would go with all of my black AND brown clothes. Perfection. Except for the price tag. We'll have to work on that one.

I've only spotted her once in real life. But I know she hangs out here and here. Let me know if you find her. Specifically if she's on sale.

Title: FINDING GOLD XI - Metal Detecting for Desert Gold

http://www.treasuresites.com/treasurebooks.htm for locations and tools. Gold and platinum are 15-19 times heavier than other streambed materials and concentrate in low pressure areas and cracks that run across rivers and streams. You look for a crack on the bank, and follow it out until you meet the "gold line" and there you suck it out with your dredge. Gold will be on the outside edge of a river gravel bar, at the head of the bar (large gold but usually beneath big boulders), and at the tail end of a bar (vast concentrations due to river bars forming in the shape of an airfoil and sucking fine gold to the tail end) but be small to microscopic at the tail end. Gold will travel down a river or stream in a line, usually off center of the high pressure water. Gold will settle behind a boulder. A good place to fish, can also be an excellent place to find gold. "Black sand" is iron ore that can be readilly identified in gravel bars and is a ready indicator that gold is probably present. The most effective and economical way for the average person to find paying concentrations of gold in a river or stream is with a simple ($80) sluice that you shovel into and the riffles retain gold, platinum, gems and anything heavy for you. Gold can be found up high on the old river channels and recovered with metal detectors, a gold wheel, a highbanker, or simply by identifying the material, shoveling it in your truck and working it out later in a wheel, or your simple stream sluice. The states which have gold in vast quantities are: Maine, Vermont, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, California, Idaho, Washington, Montana, and Oregon. The rest have gold as well, some in very good concentrations. All have gems of some kind that a sluice will seperate and hold. Good luck finding the gold of your dreams! Find gold by viewing the other films in this series for all the methods (from simple hand tools to metal detectors) plus even more valuable gems.

Title: Black Label Society- Won't Find It Here

BLS- Won't Find It Here

You say that you're down, now
Can't find a place to rest your head
The leaves have all fallen
And your garden is dead
Turning your back now
Ain't nothing left to say
No need for tomorrow
When you can't find today

When you can't find today, oh
When you can't find today, oh
Search all you want, oh
Well you won't find it here, oh
Well the fortunes you seek, oh
They were always right here
They were always right here

Alone once again, now
Walked a mile inside your head
This movie's been played now
All is done and all is said
You're running so fast now
You can't get away
No need for tomorrow
When you can't find today

When you can't find today, oh
When you can't find today, oh
Search all you want, oh
Well you won't find it here, oh
Well the fortunes you seek, oh
They were always right here
They were always right here

When you can't find today, oh
When you can't find today, oh
Search all you want, oh
Well you won't find it here, oh
Well the fortunes you seek, oh
They were always right here, oh
Search all you want, oh
It was always right here
It was always right here
