YUMMY RECIPE

Okay, so my grad school professor suggested that I post a recipe or two on my blog. Well, here's one - Enjoy!

Chocolate Delight

Crust:

2 cups all purpose flour
1 stick margarine, room temperature
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 cup walnuts, chopped small, but not fine
2 tbsp. sugar

Combine all ingredients (I use a food processor), and pat into a Pam-sprayed 9” x 13” baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Cool completely.


First filling:

2 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ cups confectioners sugar
1 8 or 9 oz. tub Cool Whip

Combine all ingredients (again, I use a food processor). Spread over cooled crust and refrigerate while preparing second filling.


Second filling:

3 pkgs. instant chocolate pudding mix (or flavor of your choice)
3 cups milk

Combine with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes, until well blended. Pour over cream cheese mixture and refrigerate until set.

Top with one 8 or 9 oz. tub Cool Whip. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and refrigerate for several hours (overnight is best).

Marjo's Blog #2

Aaaahhhhh! Here I am in grad school, job searching, running a household, taking care of an elderly parent, maintaining a long-distance relationship . . . and I have to find time to blog, too? My boyfriend blogs every night on CNN.com. He is addicted to blogging there. He is very "politicky." He is not to be disturbed from 10:00 - 11:00 p.m. every night. That's okay; I need my space, too.

I sure hope I am doing this blog thing correctly -- I am challenged when it comes to this sort of thing. My goal is to become a seasoned pro at blogging. Maybe I'll even set up a MySpace account. My daughter would die of embarrassment.

First time blogging -- Yikes! What to say, what to say . . . This is actually a test blog for a grad school course I'm taking called "Internet Marketing and New Media." I'm eletronically and technologically challenged, so this is a huge step for me. Perhaps once I have a go at it for a few times, I'll become more comfortable.
