Homemade Wine
I made this using white grape raspberry, white grape peach, and grape. The grape raspberry and grape peach are really good (and strong!) but the grape is by far the best. I used 6 cups of sugar and the result is a very sweet wine, which is what we like. I used yeast made especially for wine and I boiled my water and sugar to make sure all the sugar dissolved. After 5 weeks I poured through coffee filters and transferred wine to another container for a couple of weeks before bottling. This is the perfect wine to use to make Sangria.

Mocha Cake II
I followed this recipe exactly except I sugared the almonds. I used 2% milk and next time I will use whole milk so that it holds it's shape a little better. The coffee liqueur was way too strong for me, so next time I will use a strong coffee and use, maybe a cup, not the 1-1/2 cup this recipe calls for because the toasts were saturated and added nothing to the texture of this dish. I think that with these changes I will definitely make again. thanks for sharing your recipe!

Pasta Salad with Homemade Dressing
The dressing was bland to me, tasted like just plain vinegar and oil and my husband didn't like it at all. So I added 1/3 cup of sugar with a tablespoon of mustard and that improved the flavor. It is a very pretty salad and I will make again but will use a different dressing.
