Mango Mousse; no dairy. Delicate!

I have been makin’ marshmallows for years now for the holidays, thanks to Martha! Powdered sugar dusted over the final product cuts down on the gooey (handling) aspect respectably! Using miniature cookie cutter to cut out the seasoned end-result makes a festive shape addition to thick and frothy Mexican hot chocolate! Sure to satisfy even the most stalwart sweet tooth!

Tasting dirt by lafemmeartiste on Sep 26, 2009 at 12:30 PM PDT

As a child in a military family, a very long time ago, we lived in a pig-farming village north of Paris, by an hour and a half.
What I remember learning from the villagers as a child of six and seven, was that a baguette could be identified by the village where the grain for the flour was grown. This was in the very early sixties when farming was still done by hand, no chemicals. That period of my life has informed my entire life, and now I am very heartened to watch and listen to a generation of Americans beginning to grow their palette awareness!
Another consideration, is the perspective of politics from the level of soil. Do you know the very last historically matriarchal land ownership traditions are being wiped out in the region once known as Burma?
