&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;From the kitchen of grandma Wysang&lt;br&gt;Crust:&lt;br&gt;1 cup Grahm Cracker Crumbs&lt;br&gt;1/4 cup melted butter&lt;br&gt;1/2 cup sugar&lt;br&gt;Mix together and put in 7x11&amp;quot; baking dish&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;1 package Phil. cream cheese&lt;br&gt;1 cup white sugar&lt;br&gt;2 eggs&lt;br&gt;1 teaspoon vanilla&lt;br&gt;Pour over crust and bake 16 min.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Blueberry filling&lt;br&gt;3 cups blueberries&lt;br&gt;1 cup sugar&lt;br&gt;2 tablespoons cornstarch&lt;br&gt;salt&lt;br&gt;1/2 cup water&lt;br&gt;Cook over medium heat until thick; pour on top of crust.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ricetta della nonna di Violet (allevamento di maiali):&lt;br&gt;Crosta:&lt;br&gt;125 g biscotti Petit Beurre sbriciolati&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;60 g burro fuso&lt;br&gt;(niente zucchero, i biscotti sono già dolci)&lt;br&gt;Frullare tutto assieme e mettere in una teglia a bordo alto 18x28 cm (o diam. =25cm) pressando la mistura con un bicchiere dal fondo piatto.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;500 g ricotta&lt;br&gt;100 g zucchero&lt;br&gt;2 uova&lt;br&gt;1 cucchiaino vaniglia&lt;br&gt;Versare sopra la crosta e cuocere a 180° finchè lo stuzzicadente non esce asciutto (ca. 40').&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ripieno di mirtilli:&lt;br&gt;420 g mirtilli&lt;br&gt;200 g zucchero&lt;br&gt;2 cucchiai amido di mais (Maizena)&lt;br&gt;sale q.b.&lt;br&gt;125 g acqua&lt;br&gt;Cuocere su fuoco medio finchè non si rapprende; versare in cima al resto.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Hershey's Best Brownies&lt;br&gt;1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine&lt;br&gt;2 cups sugar&lt;br&gt;2 tablespoons vanilla extract&lt;br&gt;4 eggs&lt;br&gt;3/4 cup Hersey's Cocoa or Hersey's European Style Cocoa&lt;br&gt;1 cup all-purpose flour&lt;br&gt;1/2 teaspoon baking powder&lt;br&gt;1/4 teaspoon salt&lt;br&gt;1 cup chopped nuts (optional)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Heat oven to 350°F. grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.&lt;br&gt;In large microwave-safe bowl place butter. Microwave at high (100%) 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with spoon after each addition. Add cocoa; beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well. Stir in nuts, if desired. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until brownies begin to pull from sides of pan. Cool. Cut into bars. About 36 brownies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Grace's touch: replace nuts with chocolate chips!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Si parte dalla ricetta di Hershey per &amp;quot;I migliori Brownies&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;225 g burro&lt;br&gt;450 g zucchero&lt;br&gt;2 cucchiai di estratto di vaniglia (questo è da variare a seconda del grado di concentrazione della vaniglia)&lt;br&gt;4 uova&lt;br&gt;85 g cacao&lt;br&gt;110 g farina&lt;br&gt;1/2 cucchiaio lievito da dolci&lt;br&gt;1/4 cucchiaino sale&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Scaldare il forno a 180°. Imburrare una teglia rettangolare di circa 33x23 cm, alta 5 cm.&lt;br&gt;Mettere il burro in una ciotola da microonde grande e scaldarlo in microonde per 2 min e mezzo (finchè il burro non è fuso). Mescolarci lo zucchero e la vaniglia. Aggiungere le uova una alla volta, sbattendo bene dopo ciascuna aggiunta. Aggiungere il cacao, sbattere finchè non è ben amalgamato. Aggiungere la farina, mescolata col lievito e col sale. Mescoalre bene. Aggiungere le noci, se si vuole. Versare l'impasto nella teglia. Cuocere da 30 a 35 minuti o finchè i brownies iniziano a staccarsi dalle pareti della teglia. Lasciare raffreddare, tagliare a pezzi. Fa circa 36 brownies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Il tocco di Grace (peccato in italiano si perde il doppio senso): sostituire le noci con gocce di cioccolato&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;ATTENZIONE! Ho provato la ricetta, ma le dosi italiane non sono giuste... farò qualche esperimento e vi aggiornerò...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-9030778156360539343&amp;page=RSS%3a+Grace's+Brownies&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=ciaointerculturaafs.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=CIAOInterculturaAFS"&gt;</description><comments>http://CIAOInterculturaAFS.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!82AC3B1D28C5E331!209.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://CIAOInterculturaAFS.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!82AC3B1D28C5E331!209.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Apr 2007 08:28:31 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://CIAOInterculturaAFS.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!82AC3B1D28C5E331!209/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://CIAOInterculturaAFS.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!82AC3B1D28C5E331!209.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2007-04-23T09:13:14Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Welcome at CIAO!</title><link>http://CIAOInterculturaAFS.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!82AC3B1D28C5E331!208.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Welcome at the CIAO - Creating Italy-Indiana Adventure Opportunities blog!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This program aims at exchanging volunteers between Ivrea, Italy and Kendallville, Indiana, USA. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A group of Italians went to the Kendallville area from Thursday, April 5, through Saturday, April 14. Families that hosted will make a trip to Italy to stay with the people they hosted, in June 2008.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This blog provides a bookmark for the paticipants, the thoughts they may like to share, the memories of their trip.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
