FLATTS FESTIVAL

RASCAL FLATTS IS STARTING THEIR OWN CHARITY FESTIVAL.  http://crystallovescountry.blogspot.com/

THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY's recipe for MA N CHEESE BALLS

Fried Macaroni & Cheese Balls








1 pound elbow macaroni

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk, warmed, plus 2 tablespoons for egg wash

1 pound grated Cheddar

1 pound grated smoked Gouda

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 large eggs

3 cups seasoned bread crumbs

Vegetable oil, for frying

Marinara or Alfredo sauce, to serve

Directions

Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.



In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour into the butter and stir it with a whisk. Cook for 2 minutes. Whisk the warmed milk into the flour mixture, working out any lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cheeses, and stir until melted and smooth; season with salt and pepper. Fold the cheese sauce into macaroni. Pour the mac and cheese into a shallow pan and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.



Shape the cold mac and cheese into meatball-sized balls and place them onto a waxed paper-lined tray. Freeze the balls overnight.



Beat the eggs and 2 tablespoons milk together to form an egg wash and pour it into a shallow bowl. Put the bread crumbs into another shallow bowl. Remove the mac and cheese balls from the freezer. Dip the frozen balls into the egg wash then into the bread crumbs. Put the balls back into the freezer until you are ready to fry.



Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry the mac and cheese balls until they are golden brown and center is hot, about 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite marinara or Alfredo sauce or combination or both for dipping.

I GOTTA GO THERE!!

Willie Nelson is free on $2,500 bond after being charged for possession of six ounces of marijuana found aboard his tour bus Friday morning (Nov. 26) in West Texas. Nelson was traveling from California to his home near Austin when his bus pulled into a routine checkpoint operated by the U.S. Border Patrol in Sierra Blanca, Texas. Nelson, a co-chair of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) advisory board, told authorities the marijuana was his. If convicted of the possession charge, he could be sentenced to 180 days in the Hudspeth County jail. Following the arrest, Mickey Raphael, Nelson's longtime harmonica player, said the Country Music Hall of Fame member was in good spirits. "He said he feels great -- he lost six ounces," Raphael told Rolling Stone

COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME

COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, SUCKS.  WE WENT THERE NOVEMBER 9TH, OR RATHER, TRIED TO GO THERE AND FACED SEVERAL OBSTACLES.  FIRST OF ALL, THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PARK.  WE SEARCHED FOR A REASONABLY CLOSE PARKING DECK BUT COULDN'T FIND ONE, INSTEAD THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF SIGNS EVERYWHERE WARNING OF EVIL THINGS THEY WOULD DO TO SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO PARK WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T.  THAT IS A REAL FRIENDLY THING TO DO TO ATTRACT TOURISTS TO A "FRIENDLY" TOWN LIKE NASHVILLE.  SECOND, WE REALIZED SOON AFTER "ARRIVING' THAT NASHVILLE'S HOMELESS SHELTER IS ONE BLOCK OVER FROM THE HALL OF FAME.  THERE WERE ALL KIND OF OF CRACK HEADS WALKING AROUND WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO TRY TO MEET IF WE HAD BEEN FOOLISH ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF OUR CAR.  THIRD, THE STREET IN FRONT WAS BLOCKED OFF FOR "APPROVED CMA TRAFFIC ONLY."  WELL, THAT IS ANOTHER FRIENDLY WARNING TO US LESSER PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T HAVE A SWANKY HOTEL ROOM AND A CAB TO DRIVE THEM AROUND.  FINALLY, DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE IS A MESS.  THERE IS CONSTRUCTION EVERYWHERE, CONFUSING, ONE WAY STREETS WITH HUGE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND TRUCKS BACKING IN AND OUT EVERYWHERE.  I WILL NEVER GO TO NASHVILLE AGAIN!!!!!  THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME IN THE MIDDLE OF NEW YORK CITY, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A BIG IMPROVEMENT.  DON'T TRY TO VISIT UNLESS YOU HAVE  A LOCAL GUIDE, THE WAY THEY DO WHEN THESE EXPLORERS TRAVEL IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE.  ALL I SAW WAS EVIDENCE OF URBAN CRIME AND CONFUSION.  BUT THAT'S OK BECAUSE I DIDN'T INTERFERE WITH THOSE PRECIOUS PEOPLE AT THE CMA AWARDS WHO HAD THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE HALL TOTALLY BLOCKED OFF SO WE COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IN FRONT OF THE PLACE.

DON WILLIAMS CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE HALL OF FAME INDUCTION

Don Williams has been diagnosed with bronchitis and will not attend his Country Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony taking place Sunday night (Oct. 24) in Nashville. Williams was treated and released Friday (Oct. 22) at a Kentucky hospital and canceled his Friday night appearance in Ashland, Ky., and a Saturday performance in Hiawassee, Ga. He's expected to resume touring Tuesday at the Perot Theatre in Texarkana, Texas. Williams performed two nights last week at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and had planned to return to Tennessee for his official induction into the Hall of Fame during Sunday's medallion ceremony. Also being inducted Sunday is Jimmy Dean, who died on June 13. Early this year, Williams, Dean, Ferlin Husky and songwriter-record producer Billy Sherrill were announced as this year's additions to the Hall of Fame. Husky and Sherrill were inducted during ceremonies on May 23.

The Grammy winner has brought the family - his wife and daughters Gracie, Maggie and Audrey - Down Under for his first Australian tour.



He laughs off suggestions a family album is on the cards.


HE says his girls are musical though. 


He says, they take after their mom.  Talent--Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................ 



"If they want to do it (get into music) you hope they're good. It's a tough business, even if you're good."



For now though, McGraw says his girls are just happy seeing the sights and wildlife of Oz.



"We went to Australia Zoo today, had a fantastic time. They got to play with koalas and kangaroos."



Asked if his good mates "our" Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman warned him about Australia's drop bear population McGraw laughs.



"No they didn't ... We'll watch out for those," he said.



"They did tell us to take a boat around the (harbour) in Sydney."



Australians are some of the best people around, McGraw says before claiming credit for Oprah Winfrey's upcoming visit.



"She heard Tim McGraw's here, so she said: 'Well, I better go'," he says in his southern drawl.



McGraw, 43, has sold more than 40 million albums, and dominated the charts with 31 number one hits, since the release of his debut album in 1993.



He says Aussie fans can expect pure country on his Southern Voices tour.



"We just like to have fun," he says.



"We don't have a lot of bells and whistles, we don't go out there with things exploding and on fire, it's all about the music ... We'll bring the house down."



Four years ago, McGraw, a Democrat supporter, floated the idea of entering US politics with the encouragement of former president Bill Clinton.



If he does transition from entertainer to politician, McGraw will join the likes of Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, President Ronald Wilson Reagan and Clint Eastwood who had a stint as Mayor of Carmel in 1986.



"I grew up in Louisiana, so politics is a state sport for us," he says.



McGraw says he might have to knock on Australia's Midnight Oil rocker-turned-pollie Peter Garrett's door to get some advice.



"I may have to do that ... But, I've probably got too many skeletons in my closest to be a politician," he says.



"It's a long way down the road, the kids would have to be grown up ... It's not something I want to go out and seek.



"But, at some point in my life, if I feel I have something to offer then I will.



"It would have to be a situation where I saw something and could make a difference."



The Southern Voices tour continues with another show in Brisbane before heading to Melbourne, Sydney and Townsville.

BLACKBERRY CHEESECAKE

Ingredients


Crust

1 box Vanilla Wafers

½ cups Pecans

1 stick 1/2 Cup Butter, Melted

1-½ teaspoon Vanilla

Filling

3 packages 8 Ounce Cream Cheese

1-½ cup Sugar

4 whole Eggs

½ cups Sour Cream

Topping

2 cups Blackberries

½ cups Sugar

2 Tablespoons Water

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.



Place vanilla wafers and pecans into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until mixture becomes crumbs. Add melted butter and vanilla and pulse again until combined. Pour into a 10-inch springform pan and press crumbs into the bottom of the pan. (If they come up the sides, that’s okay!)



For the filling, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add sour cream and mix again. Pour mixture into crust, smooth the top, and bake for 1 hour, 10 minutes. Turn off oven and open door and allow to sit in the oven with the door opened for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.



For the topping, add blackberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan or skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly.



Pour blackberries over the cheesecake and place pan into the fridge to cool and set for at least 2 hours—several hours is better.



When ready to serve, remove rim around pan and slice into 16 pieces with a long serrated knife.

RAISIN CHEESECAKE

How to make it


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the crumbs with the melted butter, sugar and then mix in the nutmeg.

Grease the bottom and partly up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan.

Make sure the crumbs are smoothly spread across the bottom of the pan and then press them partly up the sides of the springform pan.

Bake the crust for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Cool before filling.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix the raisins with the 1/4 cup flour so that fruits are loose and separated

You want the raisins to be loosely coated with the flour..

Put aside any loose flour that falls off the raisins.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the yolks, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each one.

Add the remaining flour and the lemon juice, lemon rind, vanilla and the sour cream.

Beat until the mixture is smooth.

Stir in the raisins.

Beat the egg whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks.

Fold the whites into the cream cheese mixture.

Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and bake for 50 minutes.

Turn the oven off and leave the cake inside to cool for an additional 40 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and cool to room temperature.

Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Chill for about an hour and then serve.

CHEESE CHEESECAKE

Mascarpone Cheesecake with Almond Crust




Ingredients

Crust:

1 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted

2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature

2 (8-ounce) containers mascarpone cheese, room temperature

1 1/4 cups sugar

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs, room temperature

Topping:

1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)

1/4 cup whipping cream

Directions

For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Tightly wrap the outside of a 9-inch diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with 3 layers of heavy-duty foil. Finely grind the almonds, cracker crumbs, and sugar in a food processor. Add the butter and process until moist crumbs form. Press the almond mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan (not on the sides of the pan). Bake the crust until it is set and beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Cool. Decrease the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and sugar in a large bowl until smooth, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

Pour the cheese mixture over the crust in the pan. Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake until the center of the cheesecake moves slightly when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour 5 minutes (the cake will become firm when it is cold). Transfer the cake to a rack; cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate until the cheesecake is cold, at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.

For the topping: Combine the chocolate-hazelnut spread and cream in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave until warm, stirring every 20 seconds to blend, about 1 minute.

Cut the cake into wedges. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the wedges and serve.
