Oreo Gig

Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009 - 6:24 a.m.

Here's a very cool pic from over on FARK.

Manufactured twenty years apart, each of these storage items holds one Gigabyte.

I hope I am around to see what happens in twenty more years.

Apparently there was a major shocker last night on Top Chef, which I have not been watching.

People think Carla should not have been let go.

Getting hooked on a cooking show is just about the last thing I ever expected of myself, but tonight is Hell's Kitchen on Fox, and I can't wait. Heh.

I was mentioning to Jamie that I should investigate ways to get paid for throwing a tantrum like Gordon Ramsey does.

As a few of you out there know, I'm awfully good at it.

There have been Oreo cookies here in at home recently, so in honor of that, I am reproducing a recipe I saw over on life-my-way's diary:

1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) Oreos, finely crushed with a food processor.
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
2 pkg. (8 squares each) Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted (8 squares in the microwave on high for 90 seconds, stir and do it again for 60 seconds -- just keep track of it, so it doesn't burn.)

With a food processor (or a fork) blend 3 cups of the cookie crumbs with the cream cheese until completely smooth and dark. For grownup truffles, add a shot or 4 of Kahlua, Grand Marnier or Bailey's Irish Cream but leave out a proportionate amount of the cream cheese so it doesn't get all soupy.

Shape into (1-inch) balls. This recipe seems to yield around 60 balls, unless you like big balls.

Dip the truffles in the melted chocolate; place on a waxed paper covered baking sheet.
Put about 7-8 balls at a time into the chocolate, and use two forks to roll and dip and remove (the fork drains the chocolate, of course).
Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.

Refrigerate until firm.

Whew. This looks dangerous but good.

My apology to anybody who was misled by the title of this post; as you can see, it is not related in any way to President Obama's recent speech.

And finally -- sad news out of London...

No more glasses of water for Miss Brahms.

Okay, that's it. Have a good Thursday.
