NOW THE MAN IN MY LIFE IS MY DOG.
SO HOW ABOUT SOME OF JULIA"S MOUSSE
Julia Child's Classic Chocolate Mousse
8 oz sweet or semi sweet baking chocolate, melted with
1/4 cup strong coffee
3 oz unsalted butter (6 Tb)
3 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream (make sure it's the heavy variety)
3 egg whites
1/4 cup instant (finely ground) sugar
whipped cream (not so optional)
Beat the soft butter into the smoothly melted chocolate. One by one, beat in the egg yolks.
Beat the cream over ice until it leaves light traces on the surface.
Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. While beating, sprinkle in the sugar by spoonfuls and continue beating until stiff shining peaks are formed.
Scrape the chocolate mixture down the side of the egg-white bowl, and delicately fold in the whipped cream.
Turn the mousse into attractive serving bowls. Cover and chill several hours. You may wish to decorate the mousse with swirls of whipped cream, or to pass whipped cream separately.

Hi Yvonne,
Weren't the Hollywood stars of those days so much more glamorous ?
My favourite was Steve McQueen and, I used to like Mel Gibson, but he hasn't worn well and is being a right ****** now, isn't he ?!!
I also find Johnny Depp quite fascinating and could spend an evening or two with him !!!!.... but, I'll settle for my husband of 33 years ! XXXX
I think that Cary Grant and Gregory Peck are far better than any of these dudes on screen nowadays! Love the mousse recipe, Yvonne. Thanks - you're the best!
Jackie,
I have two girl friends that a mad for Johnnie Depp.
When I met Steve MQ
he looked pretty bad, his skin
was a mess and his hair was in
bad shape. He was nice and had a gorgeous smile.
I'm so glad to hear your good news Yvonne! Thanks for letting me know ..I was thinking about you and hoping for the best.
Just think of all the delis you can visit while in NYC! I would miss a good pastrami on rye sandwich if I didn't live here.
My heart throb when I was young was Humphrey Bogart...I love the old "million Dollar Movies" and Casablanca melted my heart.
Julia's chocolate mousse is the very best!
Hello Yvonne Sweetie...
Congratulations, oh I am so thrilled. Sweetie I am doing the "happy dance" for you. A BIG congratulations. Cancer free for another year. YEAhhhhh!! Celebrate good times!!!
Now these men are just the sexiest men ever. I agree , I have lost all interest in Tom and Mel, they just don't have it anymore. Give me a James Brolin any time. I have always thought he was handsome.
How fun has this been? Thanks for sharing sweetie. Great post, and I am so thrilled again. This is going to be a GREAT year.
Country hugs and so much love...Sherry
Yvonne my dearest, you are so adorable! Great post. I love Gene Kelly, Gregory Peck and Oh GOsh....I can't think of his name, but the oldies are the goodies that is for sure! Thanks for coming by for a slice of bread and a turn on the dance floor! Bisous, Anita
Hey Yvonne
Well Gregory Peck and Cary Grant are absolute winners with me!! as is Johnny Depp.. something about the boy!! especially in the movie Chocolat! But the silver screen men had that flair!!! My man now is my teddy... seems the only fellow that stuck around. hahahaha
Maybe I'll post teddy!! haha... Okey dokey.. got to think of some more swoon material!!! Take care xx Julie
Good morning! I saw you on Sherry's blog and came to visit you. Congratulations on your cancer check. That must be such a relief for you!
Hi Yvonne! Robert Redford is definitely one dreamy guy. That mousse looks positively delicious. I'm going to have to give the recipe a try. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Try to stay warm up there in Maine!
I am deeply ashamed to say mine was... ummm.... MacGyver... and ummm.... David Cassidy.... and for a brief, brief moment Sean Connery.
Hello!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
Yours looks truly lovely.
In answer to your question, I wanted a Hebrew name. I was never really give one as a child, and it's a way for me to connect to my heritage.
I hope to visit again soon.
Sean Connery is STILL a heart throb! Also add Gable and Bogart to my list!
Don't forget Roger Livesey and Trevor Howard! Those classic stars are by far more sexy than the modern ones, although Anthony Hopkins makes me go weak in the knees.
Like annechovie, I've always loved Gregory Peck, and like Jackie, I have a bit of a crush on Johnny Depp. I have to admit, though, I'd take my husband over any Hollywood hunk any day.
Happy Valentine's Day, lovely Yvonne! xoxo
Sir Laurence Olivier...I swoon when I think of that man's profile! :)...Cary Grant is right up there as well. Modern actors? Gary Oldman and Colin Firth... melt..melt..melt... and I think Hugh Grant is adorable:)
Have never cared for Tom Cruise...
Hi, Yvonne, thank you for the lovely comment you have left in my Blog!Congratulations on healthy you!!! :-))) Great news. Well, answering your question, I would have to say, of course, Johnny Depp.Wishing you the most wonderful valentine's weekend filled with love and joy. :-)
Cary Grant. Always Cary Grant.

Thank you for the mousse recipe, I might just try it to night, Francine
