Plums And Madeira Over Ice Cream With Chocolate Iced Shor

One of the things that can help very different spouses the most (in conflict resolution) is growth in God's Word. The more we have God's Word in common as husbands and wives, the more we will agree. The more each mind is renewed (changed) by the Scripture, the more similarly a couple will think (Romans 12:2). One of the worst things a couple can do is work to change one another into each other's likeness. They are to be changed, rather, into Christ's likeness. The more a couple works at love and becoming one, the more differences will be accepted and blended to enhance the marriage.

INSTRUCTIONS

ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW#EE2308  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. For the
cookies: In an electric  mixer, with a paddle attachment, cream the
butter and sugar together.  Add the vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
With the mixer on medium,  add the flour, about 1/4 cup at a time. Stop
the mixer once or twice  to scrap down the sides of the bowl. Beat
until the dough is smooth  and forms a ball around the paddle. Line a
cookie sheet with  parchment paper. Roll one tablespoon of the dough
into a ball and  place onto the cookie sheet 1-inch apart. Using your
fingers, press  down onto the balls to flatten it. Bake for 20 minutes
or until  slightly golden around the edges. Drizzle cooled cookies with
the  melted chocolate. For the plums: In a saute pan, heat melt the
butter. Stir in the sugar to dissolve. Add the plums, lemon juice,  and
zest. Saute the plums until they are completely coated with the  sugar,
about 2-3 minutes. Flame the Madeira. Reduce to 1-2 minutes  over high
heat. Remove from heat. Place the ice cream in an  over-sized bowl.
Pour the plums over the ice cream. Position the  cookies so they are
coming out from the ice cream. Garnish with fresh  mint and powdered
sugar.  Yield: 2 servings  Posted to recipelu-digest by molony
