My wife is from Maine. Her Dad's second career of 3 was as a Maine State Trooper. He would tell some tales. Like chasing cars and seeing them disappear into a snowbank when they failed to make a turn. Or the time they shot the tires off a car and only put one bullet in the car body. They were something else.Good Morning.
The German may have been Danish and was text on a link in another thread. The title of the book in your coffee post: MROK seemed like such a strange word that I had Google check it.
Mrok is Polish for "darkness."
That is appropriate for the first full day of Autumn. It is a harbinger of what is coming, especially in my location (north of the northern most point in the US state of Maine). I don't understand how @Alasgun survives the Winter in good mental health. The absence of light at his latitude would drive me crazy!

Wow that looks really good! I want to sink my teeth into it!I am trying different ideas of Tiramisu-type sweets for my shop. This strawberry-misu is the third trial and it's so good.

It's so perfect for anyone who doesn't want to use oven, clean a lot of utensils, or read through a lot of details in a recipe.
Please refer to any Tiramisu recipe, I improvised this when I got a small box of fresh, local strawberries from the supermarket.
I just:
1. replaced black coffee with the mixture of fresh strawberry and Advocaat and used the liquid to quickly soak the ladyfinger cookies.
2. used heavy cream, Mascarpone cheese, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and honey to create the cream layer. I didn't use eggs at all, too much troubles without critical enhancement imo.
3. let it sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours - it won't taste good otherwise.
4. It's the same freeze-dried strawberry powder on the top and some 90% bitter chocolate. I guess, the normal dehydrated strawberries can be used to make similar powder, or just use sliced/diced strawberries to create different finishing.
