Dreamy Treats – Pralines

Have you ever made pralines from scratch?

These sweet, buttery treats are not easy to make. The constant stirring, perfectly roasting pecans, and adding vanilla at the ideal time makes me break a sweat. The most difficult moment is waiting for the creamy, caramel texture to harden because the delicious smell has overwhelmed the kitchen and I can’t wait to taste.

After the praline bark has harden, I must break it into perfectly sized bars and rush to package them because everyone wants to sample and trust me, one bit is never enough.

 

 

We hope our pralines were a sweet end to a beautiful wedding reception!

A special thanks to Zest Atlanta.

Our 2011 Holiday Fundraiser

Our 2011 Holiday Fundraiser will benefit ETCC.

The Edmondson-Telford Center provides services to Hall and Dawson County residents under the age of 18 who are victims of sexual or severe physical abuse or neglect, as well as their non-offending family members. We offer a safe environment for crisis intervention and medical advocacy as the victim moves through the examination and investigation steps. We also work with other local agencies to support the victim through the court process. It is our goal to assist agencies, also working on behalf of child victims, and provide information to ensure the child’s safety and begin the healing process.

The Center has served over 1,200 children and families since beginning in 1997. Edmondson-Telford has conducted over 500 forensic examination interviews of sexually abused victims and coordinated hundreds of child abuse investigations with law enforcement and social services agencies. All services are provided free-of-charge to victims and are provided to English and non-English speaking persons.

Through the compassionate, professional services provided by the Edmondson-Telford Center, the trauma experienced by victimized children can be significantly reduced. Also, law enforcement officials receive higher quality evidence for use in prosecution of their cases. Our multi-disciplinary approach to child abuse cases has proven critical in the successful prosecution of countless offenders and has increased the prosecution rates of child offenders in Hall and Dawson Counties.

Currently, the Edmondson-Telford Center for Children and Hall-Dawson CASA program are combining their resources to construct a new facility to co-locate these agencies and offer their combined services of assisting child victims. This new facility will centralize the services offered by both agencies, thus increasing victim’s access and offering a more compassionate, child-friendly and child-centered campus. The new facility, The Little House, will enable victims to rebuild their lives while in a caring, safe home environment. More information about our new building, The Little House, is available here.

Tuesday Talk

Over the past several years, gelato has becoming a very popular frozen dessert across the world. Gelato has been enjoyed by the Italians for many, many years and only recently has gelato come to America. Frozen desserts like gelato and sorbet have become a major part of the American culture.


As a American visiting Rome several years ago, I reminisce on the time I spent visiting the ancient sites and enjoying my hazelnut and chocolate gelato. Delicious!!!!

Now it is your chance to enjoy our dreamy gelato and experience a taste of Italy.

Monday "Must Have"

The Monday "Must Have" for today is our pint size gelato. Cinnamon is my personal favorite today! What could be better than enjoying some dreamy gelato in our classic, Italian, boutique store.......enjoying dreamy gelato in your home anytime you want.

My personal favorite thing to do while enjoying delicious gelato is watching an action packed movie like The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. While Cinnamon gelato is a "must have" dessert and this movie is a "must see". The movie has great action, a wonderful store line. lots of emotions and ties perfectly back to the original movie.

Don't forget your pint of dreamy gelato before you head to the movies.
