Meiner Meinung nach bin ich nicht gesund, obwohl ich jeden Tag fünf Früchte esse.
Ich trinke nicht oft Alkohol, nur bei speziellen Anlässen. Letzte Weihnacht hatte ich ein Glas Wein.
Nächstes Jahr will ich mich mehr bewegen und weniger fast food essen.
Bitte helft mir! (Oh, that wasn”t meant to be translated)
you are welcome
Monogrammed Wine Glasses
Where can I find custom wine charms?
I bought my sister and her husband-to-be two sets of wine glasses for their wedding. I’m looking to find wine charms to go with them, maybe with the monogram “A” for their last names. Anyone know of any online independent crafters that can make them for me? And not too expensive?
Real answers only.
You can make them yourself…just go to a craft store and put them together yourself. (I’ve listed a few websites that show you how to do it.) There are SO many beads and charms in stores now that you really can have a one-of-a-kind look.
Wine Tasting Glasses
How do I make realistic looking wine glasses made out of sugar which will taste good?
It’s nearly impossible to do such a thing at home. To make ANY sort of glass out of sugar, you need a mold to pour your sugar into, or be able to sculpt it by hand (And hot sugar can burn you very badly!)
Secondly, anything made out of sugar-glass usually tastes sweet, but bland — not like candy! And the previous poster was correct – the acid in wine will eat away the sugar and leave you with a leaky glass!
There are websites online that give you the recipes for sugar: usually water, granulated sugar, and cream of tarter or ascorbic acid. As you boil the sugar, the most important thing to do is BRUSH DOWN THE SIDES OF THE POT WITH A PASTRY BRUSH AND PLAIN WATER. As the sugar bubbles and boils, any undissolved grains of sugar can “crystallize” the whole mass of sugar, turning it from clear and viscous to hard and opaque, ruining your batch AND your pot.
Good luck!
Decorated Wine Glasses
Has Anyone Tried a good English Trifle and what’s your fave recipe for it?
Mine is an authentic 18th century English one:
A) Place pieces of real all-butter Madeira cake in the bottom of your best glass bowl
B) Stick some of the cake together with raspberry jam
C) Sprinkle the cake generously with with a good sweet Cream Sherry or a good sweet Madeira fortified wine
D) Use diced fresh fruit or drain one tin of strawberries and one tin of fruit cocktail – and scatter over the cake
E) Either make one pint of real custard, or use a good bought one and pour this over the cake and fruit (Ambrosia is good)
F)Cover with a thick layer (10 fluid ounces) of whipped double cream that has had two spoonfuls of Amarretto added
G) Decorate with halved glace cherries and cut angelica and sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds
You now have a real English Trifle.
NB: Adding gello/jelly over cake is NOT authentic and is a modern craving. Jelly should be made with real fruit juices/fruit and served separately, from a mould, and then decorated with piped cream.
You just wanted to show off didn’t you. Are we all invited to share some?
Mine’s swiss rolls set in strawberry jelly thats had a tin of strawberries added to it. Pour over ambrosia custard. Then whip up some double cream and layer over. Grate some dark choc and sprinkle on top. Dot with glace cherries. Job done. At xmas I soak the rolls in sherry, and add some to the jelly.
There you now have a quick and easy trifle – with jelly.
