Best Damn Chocolate Cake

Posted by staceyblacker

I had this cake last weekend - yum! It was chocolaty, rich, and moist

  • 1 pkg. (18.25 oz.) plain Devil’s food or dark chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 1 pkg. (3.9 oz.or 4½ c. serving) chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Ready made chocolate frosting or powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly mist a 12 c. bundt pan with non-stick spray and then flour. Set aside. Mix everything except chocolate chips for 1 minute on low. Fold in the chocolate chips. Bake the cake until it springs when lightly pressed, 45-50 minutes. Let stand for at least 30 min.

June 15, 2010 — We Lied.

Posted by staceyblacker

OK, We lied — THx4 is THIS Week

OK, we lied.  Last week we told you we were switching THx4 to the 2nd week of the month (just for June) but we decided we couldn’t possibly NOT have Thx4 on the third Thursday of the month so .  .  . here we are:

THx4 is THIS THURSDAY!!!!

Corey Creek Rosé is the ultimate refreshing indulgence for those warm summertime days.  A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon saignee (the winemaking process of bleeding off a portion of red wine after only a short period of contact between the juice and the grape skins, resulting in a salmon pink colored wine).  With bright cherry and boysenberry aromas, this wine is best with a slight chill ~ it is crisp and fruity and very juicy.  Great with flaky fish dishes, pasta salads or all by itself!  STOP BY THIS THURSDAY AT 5PM TO SAMPLE THIS PERFECT SUMMER SIPPER!

Something TOTALLY Different

Philadelphia Brewing Co has come out with a Springtime beer that has a LOT of people talking.  Fleur de Lehigh is one of the most unique beers you will ever try — whether you love it or hate it!  Spring is a time of warmth, blossoms and memories of Shibe Park, where Philadelphians once celebrated the annual rebirth of the baseball season.  This unfiltered, golden ale blooms upon the palate with a vibrant floral character and accentuates any seasonal feast.  Fleur de Lehigh is brewed with chamomile, rhubarb, ginger, rose hips and lemon grass then fermented with Belgian yeast to provide a uniquely full-flavored, yet highly drinkable spring/summer brew.  4.2% abv.

Stacey’s new Favorite Liqueur

Posted by staceyblacker

Stacey’s new Favorite Liqueur

St. Germain is a fairly new Elderflower Liqueur made from handpicked elderflower blossoms and artisanally crafted in France.  Blended with a small amount of citrus and natural cane sugar to accentuate the subtle flavor of the elderflowers, the resulting liqueur is delicate and balanced with fresh floral aromas and flavors of pear, apricot and zesty grapefruit.  Try a 1 1/4 shot of St Germain with 2 shots of Prosecco or your favorite Champagne  and a teeny bit of club soda or sparkling water — AN AWESOME SUMMER REFRESHER!
