Valentine s Day 101 in New Mexico

Page 28

DGDining Guide

The history of our most beloved Valentine s Day is a shrouded one. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first valentine greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl - possibly his jailor s daughter - who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed From your Valentine, an expression that is still in use today.

Today, Valentine s Day is celebrated not only by young lovers, but also by married couples. Even our kids love the tradition. Here are some ideas to enjoy our most romantic holiday and of course, you can use the ideas for your anniversary, too :

No time to get out of town, because Valentine s Day falls on a Thursday this year? L e a d y o u r L o v e o n a t r e a s u r e - h u n t ! This takes a little preparation. Find his/her favorite stores and talk to the shop owners. In every store, buy a little gift it doesn t have to be pricy and attach a little love note with the next location. Depending on the weather and his/her taste you can have it end in a romantic location for a picnic where you are waiting for your love, or in your loveDs favorite restaurant. C Yes, ladies, Valentine s Day goes both ways, so why not take the initiative yourself?

N o t h i n g i s a s r o m a n t i c a s a p i c n i c ! Armed with a bottle of bubbly or apple cider , enjoy our wonderful area! If you are good on foot, there are wonderful locations waiting to be explored, and all are within a days trip: You know, of course, the Carlsbad Caverns, but did you know there are gorgeous picnic locations throughout the park you can use for free? Just outside the cavern entrance are picnic tables from which you can enjoy the breathtaking view, which only Eagles dare to dream of.

The Lincoln National Forest around Capitan is a wonderful place to enjoy nature and have your love just for yourself. E x p l o r e t h e o l d G h o s t t o w n of White Oaks just outside of Carrizozo or the lovely Bonito Valley with historic Lincoln C known for Billy-the-kids last escape and the Lincoln County War. The descendants of the original participants are still living in this area.

Contact the Cloudcroft Chamber to rent a Jeep for a V a l e n t i n e s J e e p J a m b o r e e . Included is a fun picnic basket with champagne or wine, cheese, fruit and fresh bread and your driver will bring you two love birds or more to the most enchanting spots in the forest. You have to be 21 to participate, otherwise it will be apple juice instead of champagne... Spend a weekend in this beautiful mountain town C one of the prettiest places in our area. Fall asleep under the high pine trees whispering of a wonderful future ahead of you and your love.

Valentine's

Wedding Banana Pudding Submitted by: Kire Cole

Ingredients:

1 Cup sugar ½ Cup flour ¼ Tsp salt 3 Cups milk 3 Eggs (separate the yokes from the white)

½ Tsp cream of tartar 1 ½ Tsp vanilla 1 Tblsp butter 1 Bag (or box) vanilla wafers 1 Lb. Bananas (3 – 4 large)

Preparation:

Put 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup flour, ¼ tsp salt, 3 cups milk into a high pan with a heavy bottom – Get a metal spatula …. and a chair …. this takes a while. You must stir constantly to keep from burning! About 20-30 minutes. (If you have a double boiler, it is easier.) Bring above ingredients to a boil until mixture thickens. Get your partner and have him or her separate the eggs, reserve the whites for later. Let your partner beat the yolks in a glass measuring cup and then add a little of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks.

Add the yolk-mix to the hot mixture and take off the fire, still stirring. Add a tblsp of butter and 1 ½ tsp vanilla and stir.

Line a 7” by 10” baking dish (glass will look best for presentation) with the vanilla wafers. Pour some pudding on top, add a layer of sliced bananas. Layer until you have about 1” to the rim.

With a mixer make the meringue out of the egg whites, cream of tartar. Mix until it is foamy. Gradually add ¼ cup sugar and ¼ tsp vanilla and beat until glossy peaks are forming. Spread on top of the layered pudding mix.

Bake at 400 degrees in a preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the merengue is turning brown. Remove from oven. Let it cool before serving.

Comments from Kire: This recipe comes from my mother and is the most beautiful and tastiest dessert ever! It is my #1 Dessert....as every time I made it, I always ended up married. All men LOVE this one! If you are going to take this to an event, make the pudding a day ahead and refrigerate. The bananas will not turn black.
