Okay, I just made these to top the Halloween cupcakes and here are my recommendations: 1) After you shape the balls, put a toothpick in them and then place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes or so. 2) Don't bother adding the shortening to the white chocolate. I zapped a bag of white choc. chips in the microwave for 30 seconds...stirred...30 more seconds...really stirred and it melted beautifully (do have to stir for a while to completely melt the choc). 3) Dip the frozen PB balls in the white chocolate and gently push it off of the toothpick (push it up off the toothpick), after you set it down the choc will still "ooze" over where your fingers were. 4) I didn't bother with the red squiggles as it looked too time consuming. All in all it looks great!! The boys really like them!

This is quite bland. The fish tastes like nothing really...just extremely battered (no I didn't whisk it too hard or long). The sauce and cabbage was a bit boring so I added homemade pico de gallo. I ended up loving a fishless version with just the pico and cabbage mix in a slightly fried tortilla with a bit of shredded cheese on top. If I make this again I will add some seasoning to the beer-batter.

I started to make my typical salad and then decided to make this, so I had some mushrooms, tomatoes, and onion slices already in my salad. I then added the avocado, pears, chopped candied pecans, and blue cheese. I topped with the dressing. All I can say is "WOW!" The flavor combos here are amazing. The pecans with the pears creates a totally different flavor than the avocado and blue cheese (what a great combo) so every bite is different. If you like strong flavors this is the salad for you. If you like subtle flavors I doubt you would like this much. Thank you so much, I look forward to making this at Thanksgiving (the dressing would be great with an apple style salad as well I think.) This is just fantastic!
