Salmonellosis Food Warning and Recall

 

Repeated Violations Prompt Action Against Seafood Company

FDA has taken enforcement action against Minneapolis-based seafood processor Captain’s Select Seafood Inc. The action follows the company’s extensive history of violating food and drug law. The company also has violated the agency’s regulations that require seafood processors to develop and implement plans that identify food safety hazards and offer preventive measures to control those hazards.

Coffee Lover’s Dessert

I was disappointed in the way these turned out; perhaps I did something wrong, but this is a recipe I will NOT be making again.  If anyone tries it and has better luck with it, I’d sincerely love to hear about it, as I honestly don’t know where I went wrong.

 This is a quick, simple dessert dish that should turn out creamy, cool and tasty for anyone who loves coffee.

Coffee Lover’s Dessert

Ingredients:
10 to 12 large marshmallows
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1/2 cup whipping cream

Directions:
In a heavy saucepan, combine marshmallows and coffee; cook and stir over low heat until melted.  (This image didn’t turn out too well, either! lol)

Coffee Dessert

Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.  Fold in whipped cream.  Spoon into individual dessert dishes.  Chill.  Yield: 2 servings

Coffee Dessert

 

Mine came out runny and tasted like nothing more than coffee with whipped cream dumped into it.  :(  I bombed this one.
