Run to the Lights - Wednesday December 22nd |
Save the date. Once again, Bill and Shirley Weber are hosting the Delco RRC's annual Run to the Lights. Start from the Weber's and join us on a short but fun run to view the Christmas lights on display in Drexel Hill. 6:30 pm on December 22nd though we won't start running on time...do we ever? The best part of this may just be the after run activities that take place in the Weber's home. Loads of good food, drink and fun are had every year since they began hosting the event. Please join us for a fun-filled evening. You don't have to run, feel free to join us just for the after-party. The Weber's address is 720 Shadeland Avenue, Drexel Hill, PA 19026. Feel free to bring a desert or treat but certainly not necessary. It is the start of the holidays and we must eat heartily. Click HERE to send Shirley an email. All Delco RRC is welcome. I really, really hope to see you there. |

Good Eats |
Flourless Chocolate Walnut Cookies 2 1/2 cups walnut halves
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven. Heat oven to 350°. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place walnuts on a work surface and finely chop. Transfer to a separate large baking sheet and toast until fragrant, about 9 minutes. Let cool. Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in a bowl. Stir in walnuts. Add egg whites and vanilla; beat with a fork or electric mixer on medium until batter is just moistened. (Do not overbeat batter or it will stiffen.) Drop batter by the teaspoonful onto baking sheets in evenly spaced mounds. Bake cookies until tops are lightly cracked and glossy, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. |
