Chocolate Pie

Basic Flaky Piecrust


or 1 store-bought piecrust, fitted into a 9-inch pie plate

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, plus more shaved for topping

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

3 large eggs

1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Heat oven to 375º F. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet. Prick crust with a fork and line with foil. Fill to top with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until just golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325º F. In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, salt, and ½ cup of the sugar until fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Fold a third of the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remainder. Pour the combined mixture into the crust and bake until puffed and beginning to crack, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 1 hour, then chill. Beat the cream with the remaining sugar until soft peaks form. Spread over the pie and sprinkle with the shaved chocolate.

The Scoop

Aloha Weather : The Weather Report

Aloha Friday is a weekly meme hosted by the blog An Island Life. It is a day to celebrate the ease of life because in Hawaii Friday is a day to take it easy and prepare for the busy weekend. This great meme allows bloggers to ask easy questions that require easy answers My question today is:

what type of weather have you all been experiencing this week?

The flood in our area is over and families and cities are trying to clean up what the flood left behind. The weather today is warm and nice yesterday was a bit gray and everyonce in a while a drip of rain would fall. For the most part the weather this week has been very mild.

SwaddleDesigns Review and Giveaway: Win a Swaddle Duo

Many of you all may remember this great sponsor. If you want to refresh your memory you may read about them here on my blog. Swaddling is something that is very comforting to our little babies but does not always come natural. The great thing is that SwaddleDesigns helps you to swaddle your baby in a manner that is comforting to both of you. SwaddleDesigns has been  focused on offering stylish, innovative, modern and quality baby products since 2002. SwaddleDesigns is headed up by Lynette Damir a RN
who noticed that many families struggled with swaddling their young babies. As the CEO and designer Lynette wanted to create  a product that would help the swaddling process easier for new mothers. My first child brought many fears to me but the nurses were so wonderful that I will always be thankful to them. I am sure that mothers are thankful to Lynette for teaching them the technique to easily swaddle their newborns.
SwaddleDesigns is known for their premium quality fabric, fabulous colors and prints, decorative edge, and the innovative 123 Swaddle® instructional label that helps new parents master the art of swaddling. SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets are perfect for swaddling and have many uses such as a privacy throw for breastfeeding moms, a tummy time play mat and a cover over the stroller.


The Swaddle Duo from SwaddleDesigns offers two premium, yet different, baby soft cotton swaddling blankets. The Ultimate Receiving blanket is a lightweight premium cotton flannel that is perfect for moderate to cooler environmental temperatures. This would be perfect in the winter time here where I live or in the hot summer with the air conditioners running to keep us cool but may seem a bit cold to our babies. The second blanket is the Marquisette Swaddling blanket that is a very lightweight open weave cotton blanket for warmer environmental temperatures. The duo of blankets will prepare the parents for a variety of environmental temperatures - cool, moderate or warm. The generous size and optimum shape for swaddling makes the duo a want for all mothers. 

Babies can easily get overheated or over chilled easily the SwaddlingDuo can help you keep your baby comfortable. Studies have shown that both overheating and overchilling increase the risk of SIDS as stated in the International Journal of Epidemiology 1996. SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide™ ~ baby should not be too hot, or too cold, but just right ~ comfortably warm.”  You can read more about keeping baby comfortable and temperature control on the SwaddleDesigns Temperature Awareness
SwaddleDesigns strives to help new parents care for their baby by providing accurate and up-to-date information, so parents can may make informed choices. SwaddleDesigns Safe Sleep Program includes recommendations from the AAP and the NIH as the company strives to increase awareness of Safe Sleep practices and help parents reduce risk of SIDS. You can learn more about how to swaddle your baby as well as other great tips to help your baby on the SwaddleDesigns website here

According to leading SIDS researchers, both overheating AND over chilling are risk factors for SIDS. In addition, it’s important for parents to understand that when baby is too cool during sleep, baby will use valuable energy to stay warm instead of growing and thriving. Over the past few years some juvenile product companies have over focused on overheating as a SIDS risk factor, and there has been a lack of balanced conversation regarding insufficient thermal insulation – the danger of baby being too cool - as a risk factor for SIDS. It is time for a balanced information where parents are educated and reminded of their important responsibility to make sure baby is not too hot or too cold, but comfortably warm.

The swaddleDesigns Cotton Marquisette is similar to muslin but is made from premium quality yarns and the SwaddleDesigns Cotton Flannel is made from premium preshrunk domestic cotton. The SwaddleDuo is available in 17 styles with suggested retail price of $38 http://www.swaddledesigns.com/c/Swaddle-Duo/SD00

Uglee Pen the Ergonomic Pen Review and Givaway

In my new job there is an awful lot of writhing that gets done. I have had days where my hand hurts from all the writing that I do but now I think I have found the perfect pen in the UGLEE pen. I know it sounds as if it would be ugly but it as you can see it is not. But I can say that if you are like me you will be filled with glee when you use it. The UGLee pin was invented by Dr. James Lee who worked on perfecting the ergonomic pen for over 8 years. The UGLee pen has a rubber grip that makes it easy to hold on allowing it to comfortable be held in your hand. No need to press down hard when writing as the pen writes smoothly with ease.


The UGLee pen is light weight weighting only 11 grams. As i mentioned to you before the UGLee pen is completed with a full size grip. The grip is designed to follow the anatomy of the hand allowing the pen to grip you rather than you gripping the pen. The ink system is smoother than any ruller ball, gel ink or fountain ink pen. These features to me makes the UGLee pen awesome.
You can purchase the UGLee pen at http://www.ugleepen.com/order-your-ergonomic-pen/ 
 
One of Annies Home Readers will win a  3 pack set of pens of their own. To enter this giveaway all you need to do is visit the UGLee pen website at http://www.ugleepen.com/ and let me know something I did not share here in this post.

½ black chenille stem

Paper coffee filter

Water color paints

Paint brush

Water

Flatten the coffee filter and place it on a plate or newspaper, the paint and water will soak through. Set aside on paper towels to dry. Fold the chenille stem in half. Remember, you are only using half of a chenille stem to begin with. Fold the coffee filter accordion style, in about ½" pleats. Position the pleated coffee filter into the bent end of the chenille stem. Center the filter at the bend. Twist the chenille stem around the filter to secure it in place. Bend the tips of the chenille stems over about ¼" to create the antennae. Fan out the butterfly wings. If desired, hang with yarn or fishing line.
