:.:Hana Yori's Egg Yolk Sauce:.:

ALRIGHT ALREADY!!! :) Here it is folks....the one....the only....Egg Yolk Sauce!! It took me a couple days to get it right....and some may adjust the recipe to their liking...but all in all it ROCKS MY SOCKS! So here we go:

8 egg YOLKS

2 sticks butter (melted)

2 cups warmed peanut oil

1 tbsp Rice Vinegar (unseasoned)

soy sauce

salt

sugar

Get your blender plugged in and cranked up!!!  (While you are waiting for your husband to dig out your blender and get in plugged in) Mix together your melted butter, warmed oil and rice vinegar. Start with your egg yolks in the blender....BLEND BLEND BLEND....now slowly stream in the oil and butter mixture. Thats right I said SLOWLY!! Be careful not to let the emulsion break!! Add a tablespoon or so of soy sauce, a pinch or two of sugar and salt. BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND

Okay so you are going to notice the mixture thickening up some. Or at least you should! I place mine in the refrigerator for a couple hours before cooking if possible. This recipe makes almost a full 4 cups...so there is plenty to share! 

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Butterfly some shrimp...stick them on the grill or pan grill if its a chilly day out! For stovetop, high heat. Immediately place a dollop of your Yolk Sauce atop a trio of shrimp (it means put a glob of your yellow stuff on a pile of 3 shrimp!) and cover. These cook alot quicker than you think. Check after a minute-minute and a half. I douse mine with brandy, flame, and serve. But not necessary! Don't try to play Chef Ramsey if your inexperienced!

Like I said, I have had to tweak my recipe a bit....my first batch was too salty, my second was too sweet....Third Times A Charm

GOOD LUCK!

Pumpkin Pie Martinis?? WHAT!

Through a pampered chef email I received a new recipe for a pumpkin pie martini....Jake and I decided to try them out tonight and let me say....WOW!!! they were absolutely fabulous! Here is the recipe...give them a try! And of course a pic of one of ours :)

¼ cup pure pumpkin puree (4 small scoops) 

3 oz vanilla simple syrup

1 oz vodka

½ oz dark rum

2 oz half and half

Pinch of Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend

Place all ingredients into Martini Shaker. Add ice and shake to blend and chill. Strain into glasses. Makes 3 full-size servings. 

And make it your own! Add some whip cream, throw some cinnamon on top, maybe a few chocolate shavings???  Make it tasty and make it sexy :)

Its been awhile....

Its been awhile since my last post. I had begun my story and then a sudden halt in communication. My husband and I have been through alot in the last few months and have been able to find a new way of living life. Why look into the past? Why dwell on it? My past mistakes are simply that, mistakes. They are to remain in the past and not to be brought out again. This blog is to bring my family into a new world. New memories, new life. So, here we go....the start of our new life!


Recently Jake and I have decided to make a move. A HUGE move. We are moving to North Carolina!!! That's right folks! Jake has decided that he wants to go back to school and was recently accepted into Nascar's Automotive Technicians program. AWESOME!!!! So in November the Gorsuch family will be relocating to Charlotte, NC. We are overly excited and ready for a change. We are ready to leave the past here in Indiana, and move on to bigger and better things. I am so proud of my husband. What an amazing man he is! 


I have also started my own personal business with Pampered Chef. Everyone knows that I LOVE LOVE LOVE to bake, so this was the perfect business opportunity for me! Anyone interested in a party let me know!!! Christmas is coming up fast! <---sorry had to get that in there. Perfect time for an advertisement. 

Halloween was this past weekend and we had an absolute blast! Reid went as a dragon....and was cute as a button. Here ya go ---> 

AHHHHH! Cant help but love him!!! :) I think he was just so overly impressed that people would give him candy without asking for a hug or kiss. It was FREE! I actually broke down at the third house as I had realized that my little baby was no longer a baby. Oh I hope I can make it through this parenting thing! So many emotions! 


Before I go for the evening I want to say, just because I have decided not to openly discuss my past and the drug issues I had, I believe that I have come a long way and am becoming that DOMESTIC GODDESS that I have always wanted to be. On this blog I plan on posting recipes for some delicious foods, crafty things that Reid and I enjoy doing together, home ideas, and family stories. I hope that many decide to stay around and see what happens on this journey we are about to embark on. We will miss many people here in our home state of Indiana, but we are excited to begin a new and successful life! <3
