I was browsing through my new Barefoot Contessa cookbook and a nice pound cake recipe caught my attention. I found a similar one for you. I also noticed this Barefoot Contessa Brownie Pudding which has been captured on another blog called 'Tastefully Done' I'd like to try it because it uses cocoa powder instead of chocolate, so it should have a lot less fat.
I've also never tried roasting shrimp, so I seem to get some wonderful ideas from her.
Well, K has to hunker down for a big math test next week, and he wants to somehow go to the Raptor's Game with his dad tomorrow. I hope to catch some of the Oscar's tomorrow night (in between the 'Amazing Race'. L is due home shortly to grab a quick lunch before she heads out again, so maybe I'll try roasting that shrimp.
They said it's going to snow all weekend, no sign of it yet.

i find watching the barefoot contessa on the food network to be so very relaxing. the roast shrimp sounds very good. let us know how it turns out. i'll be right there with you trying to catch both amazing race and the oscars!!
Hi Christine,
Thanks for recipe. Orange pound cake sounds good except I dont have any kosher salt I have a Jewish friend perhaps she will have some Wonder if it's the same as common or garden table salt without kosher preparation ?
Hi Julie, I ended up baking some farmed scallops instead and it turned out good although everyone seems to prefer shrimp.
Barbara, according to Contessa's definition in her book, it's the salt used to draw blood from the meat (the koshering process). She thinks it has a softer and less harsh flavour. It is a larger grained salt with no iodine. Table salt should do, I would think!
I've tried a chocolate pudding recipe from Nigella and it used cocoa powder. I really liked it. In fact, most chocolate things I make these days uses cocoa powder. It has such a nice taste.
Japra, I also love chocolate cakes made from cocoa.
