Wow........did you see the finish of the Indy 500? If not, you really missed something.........so sorry for Hidlenbrand. He will relive that Turn 4 in his mind the rest of his life. Danica led 10 laps had to go in for gas and ended up 10th.......not bad since she qualified 27th. Now, we have a couple hours and then it is the CocaCola 600 in Charlotte. What a fun day. We had corn dogs (home made) and french fries!
I told you yesterday about this berry dessert I found. You are very lucky because the real recipe........by a great chef.....I might add........just wasn't that good. So, I revised it and now it is great. The recipe makes a lot.......I cut this recipe in half. In a small saucepan bring to a boil 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Just cook til sugar dissolves, turn off and add 1/4 tsp almond extract. Take one of those loaf angel food cakes you buy at the store and cut it into 1" cubes. Take 2 pints of strawberries and cut them into slices. Wash 2 pints of blueberries. In a mixer put 12 oz soften cream cheese and 2/3 cup sugar........beat til smooth.......then add 2 cups of whipping cream and whip til soft peaks. Now, take your largest glass bowl and layer half of the cubes of cake in the bottom. Then sprinkle half of the syrup you boiled up over the cubes.......then dump in 1/2 of the blueberries and dollop over the blueberries one half of the whip cream mixture. Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the cream and then another layer of the cake cubes. Sprinkle the cake cubes with the other half of the syrup mix. Then the rest of the blueberries (save just a few to throw on the top), the rest of the cream and then the rest of the sliced strawberries.....sprinkle these with a little sugar......sprinkle the rest of the blueberries on for decoration and put in frig! Needs to be in frig at least an hour. This is so good...........makes a great midnight snack too. If you didn't get it made for Memorial Day...........will make a great Fourth of July dessert also.
