When celebrated celebrated restaurateur and pastry chef Johanne Killeen talks about the traditional traditional Italian dessert Panna Cotta, or "cooked cream," she's practical, passionate passionate -- and willing to make predictions. predictions. "You are going to start seeing this everywhere, as you do in restaurants restaurants all over Italy, because it's silky, it's sensual and it's a snap to make. It's got that gorgeous sensation of crème brûlée, without the eggs and with the natural rich flavor of cream." Ahead of the crowd as usual, Killeen has just developed a wonderful new version, Hazelnut Panna Cotta. Patrons of her restaurant, A1 Forno, in Providence, have for years made Panna Cotta a perennial favorite from the dessert menu. And they're a discriminating discriminating crowd: AI Forno is atop every national critic's list of great American restaurants. Panna Cotta perfectly exemplifies the creative process of discovery and culinary culinary artistry they've shared, both at Al Forno and on their frequent trips to Italy. They first tasted the dish in Florence, where it seemed to be on every menu, and it captivated them with its simplicity. "Food is so wonderful in itself," Germon says, "and as cooks we seek to bring out its inherent goodness -- to refine it to its essence. That's just what Panna Cotta is: the essence of cream. Simply cooked with gelatine, it's transformed into a flavorful dessert with an extraordinary, luscious texture." A wonderfully versatile dish too, it has been an Al Forno favorite served with chocolate or carmel sauce, or with coffee or mint flavored cream. The newest rendition, Hazelnut Panna Cotta, was inspired by a recent visit to the Piedmont in the north of Italy. Killeen suggests using good-quality packaged torrone for Hazelnut Panna Cotta -- imported varieties are widely available. Be sure it has hazelnuts, though, as many brands are made with almonds. A sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts hazelnuts or chopped torrone is the perfect garnish for the dessert of the '90s.

One of the most common legal actions is for the lender to effect a "Power of Sale". If all avenues to avoid default have been investigated, then the Mortgagee will serve a "Notice of Exercising Power of Sale" to the Mortgagor (borrower). At this time, all other parties with an interest in the property will also be notified (e.g. a Second Mortgagee). The "owner" will have thirty-five days following the service of this notice to bring his mortgage payments up to date. If he fails to do so, he will eventually be required to vacate the premises and the Lender will be at liberty to sell the property either privately, by auction or through a Realtor (for as close to market value as possible).

New models of indoor-venting propane fridges that reduce risks through the addition of special safety features are now on the market. Before these fridges became available, available, the fuels safety program hadn't been able to allow indoor-venting models to be sold or installed since 1988 because the units being made were found to be dangerous. However, the new refrigerators meet the the ministry's strict safety standards. One improvement is a carbon-monoxide carbon-monoxide detector that is connected connected to the refrigerator burner. "The detector - which operates much like a household smoke detector detector - sets off an alarm and shuts off the burner when an unsafe level of carbon monoxide is being produced, or if its battery nans low," says Chief Engineer Ken Taylor. "A propane refrigerator refrigerator that isn't working properly can produce deadly doses of carbon monoxide." Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colourless gas produced when a fire or flame isn't burning cleanly. If a propane fridge burner is blocked with rust, dirt or spiders's webs, or if the appliance isn't in good working order, order, proper combustion may not occur occur - releasing carbon monoxide into the air. In an enclosed space, such as a cottage or camper, enough carbon monoxide to kill can build up overnight. overnight.
