It is not wise to count your friends
on a bright sunny day.
When the sky is blue
and smiles come so easliy.

Instead wait for a storm,
when the clouds are dark
and the day grows cold.
Laughter is not heard
in your heavy heart.

Then when a friend comes
and stands beside you
and lifts your spirits to the sky
and laughter is in your heart,
he or she deserves the name…friend.

Thank you, my Friend,
for braving the storms with me
and for making the sunny days
so much brighter.

Marmite Island Dip
Preparation time: 20 minutes

Ingredients (for 2 persons)

2 large firm tomatoes
150g Philadelphia Lite Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon MARMITE
6 small gherkins, 4 chopped
2 for garnish
2 teaspoons tomato puree

Breadsticks for dipping
Mixed leaves for garnish

Method:

Carefully cut the top off each of the tomatoes, scoop out the flesh and seeds and discard, keeping the tomato shells. Turn each shell upside down on kitchen paper to drain any remaining juice. In a bowl mix together the Philadelphia cheese, Marmite and tomato puree with a fork until they are well blended. Then add the chopped gherkins and mix again.

Spoon the cheesy mixture into the 2 tomato cups and scatter a few leaves around the base. Take the remaining 2 gherkins and make 4 cuts lengthways, without cutting all the way through, and open the gherkin up into a fan. Arrange this on top of the tomato cup and serve with tumblers of breadsticks or dishes of fresh crudités.

A/B oh just the person… Any thing on … *Cheesecake* plz!

Ingredients
2 teaspoons margarine or butter
3/4 cup ground toasted almonds
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 6-ounce package white chocolate baking squares
4 8-ounce packages reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened*
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel or orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup strawberry jelly
Fresh red raspberries and/or blackberries and/or blueberries

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Use the margarine or butter to grease bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Stir together almonds and the 2 tablespoons flour. Press ground almond mixture onto the bottom of the springform pan. Set pan aside.
2. In a heavy small saucepan melt the white chocolate baking squares over very low heat, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sugar, the 2 tablespoons flour, the lemon or orange peel, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until combined. With the mixer running, slowly add the melted white chocolate, beating until combined. Add eggs all at once, beating on low speed just until combined (do not overbeat). Stir in milk.
4. Pour filling into prepared springform pan. Place springform pan on a shallow baking pan. Bake about 55 minutes or until center appears nearly set when shaken gently. Cool cheesecake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a small metal spatula to loosen cheesecake from sides of pan; cool 30 minutes. Remove sides of pan; cool cheesecake completely. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 48 hours.
5. Transfer cheesecake to cake stand or dessert platter. In a small saucepan heat and stir strawberry jelly over low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the jelly over top of the cheesecake. Arrange berries on cheesecake. Cover with plastic wrap; chill up to 4 hours before serving. Makes 16 to 20 servings.
*Note: Be sure to use the reduced-fat cream cheese. Fat-free cream cheese won’t give you acceptable results for this party-perfect dessert.
Make-Ahead Tip: After glazing the cheesecake, cover and chill up to 4 hours.
