whats savoiardi?

They are very similar to what they call "lady fingers" here, I can find them everywhere very easily.

This is a pic

churipu, your zucchini-beef looks very good!

Ok for dessert! That's a good idea

Now I need to figure out what type of dessert to do :S

Nessa, my mother uses Marsala wine for tiramisu too but i'm pretty sure there are several ways to do it and it will still be good.

Yay! I'm so glad we are doing dessert. It gives me an excuse to make something sweet. *runs off to decide what fattening dessert she's making*

what if I don't find marsala? Can I use only Kahlua instead?

[Cecile and Bryan 0]

I don't know, actually I never heard of Kahlua before.

Apparently it's coffee-flavour liquor, so that wouldn't be too strange to have it in tiramisu. And there are many recipes of tiramisu with kahlua and without marsala (or any other alcohol) on the Internet, so I guess that should work too.

[Nessa 23]

yeah I'm googling recipes.

[Nessa 23]

what's the difference between whipping cream, whipped cream and heavy cream?

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Ohhh Alex, you casserole looks awesome...I wish I had an oven!!

Nessa, re your cream question I would think (I am not sure though)

whipping cream - liquid cream used for whipped cream

whipped cream - liquid cream beaten so it's not liquid anymore

heavy cream - like liquid cream, just higher in fat

[Nessa 23]

The recipe I wanna make ask for cream and you have to beat for it to become thick, so I guess I'll buy the whipping one?

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

I'd think so.
