Cream Cheese Frosting II
As everybody else is saying, this is a fantastic and really easy to make recipe. I personally think adding an extra cup of confectioner's sugar is a little much, but if that's what does it for you, then okay. I followed the recipe and got a wonderfully sweet and tangy frosting. A trick to help get the cream cheese and butter started, besides just having them both softened, is adding a dash of milk or cream - it makes it all a lot easier. I used this on top of a German-style Apple Cake, and topped it with homemade caramel. This frosting really helped make the cake. Thanks for posting!

Coriander Tabbouleh Salad with Shrimp
I've made this recipe twice now, and have loved it both times. The second time I had so quintuple the recipe for a shower, and it worked out quite nicely - ridiculous amount of chopping though. Neither times have I used shrimp, and neither times has it been missed. I found it really important to make sure that the bulgur has absorbed all the water, and has become dry and fluffy before you add it to the tabbolueh - otherwise you get this gross water at the bottom of the bowl. I think it's better to just cook the tabbouleh on the stove instead of pouring hot water over it as the recipe said. Also, I prefer using 1 cup bulgur to 1.25 cups water. Feta and tomatoes are a natural addition. I served it with hummus and pita, and it was a huge hit. The portions given here are verrrry generous. Make it as it says, and you'll be eating it for a week. Which is good. Because it's good. That's it. Done now.
