Now, it’s true – if my sweetie comes rolling up in this number as my Valentines day gift, I just might look at him a little crosswise.  But hey, it’s hard to shop for a gal who has everything right?

raspberry tiramisu dessert

I wasn’t even looking for sweets.  (I was however looking at food, as usual!)  And in my defense, let me also say that raspberry isn’t even one of my favorite fruits, but I’m gonna make this one for dessert this evening if I can wait that long.  Then next time I may try to sub out the raspberries for strawberries, yummmm.  So, why don’t you give this one a try and let me know what you think.  Got your own wonderful tiramisu recipe that you’d like to share?  Post it here so we can all try it out as well!  Happy snacking everyone.

AN ACTUAL CRAIG’S LIST AD
AN ACTUAL CRAIG’S LIST PERSONALS AD
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown  Savannah  night before last.
Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m.  E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
 First, I’d like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn’t expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The even ing was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head … isn’t it?!
 I know it probably wasn’t fun walking back to wherever you’d come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I’m sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
 After I called your mother or “Momma” as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you’d done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, — on your credit card.. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
 I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
 I then threw your wallet into the big pink “pimp mobile” that was parked at the curb … after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver’s side of the car.
 Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what ‘s going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA’s office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target..
 The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
  ;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you .. but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you’ve chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

Mmmm, with this cold snap we’re suffering through doesn’t a nice warm bowl of veg soup sound great?  Does to me – along with anything else that’ll keep me warm, like hot chocolate, chili, coffee – well, you get what I’m saying!  I know I shouldn’t really complain about the cold,  living in Florida now – this is certainly nothing like what I grew up with all my life in Buffalo (can we say lake effect snow people?) but I can’t help but feel just a wee bit cheated, since the reason why I moved here in the first place was to avoid real cold.  I’m used to fake cold now, but this weather is taking me back to my roots!  Oh well, I’ll whip up a nice batch of this soup and daydream about the summertime!  Check out the recipe here:
