Welcome to my portal to Atlantis! Step right up and be seated in my luxurious time-machine. Please obey all instructions. It has not yet been tested, and I don’twant to have to try to rescue anyone from the middle of the Atlantic in the fourth century BC! Some details had to be skipped due to short notice. And mom made me take a nap, even though I stomped my feet and pouted!
Now, I don't know why my powerpoint slide text is all warped. But it is, and we will just have to deal with it. It must be some sort of weird effect from the space-gate.... Couldn't be my lack of technical prowess! Not just anybody can build a time-machine, you know...
wheee!
we have arrived!
Okay! Looks like Poseidia has done it again. Everybody, please put your hardhats under your seat for the convenience of the next passenger. Watch your step, especially the third from the top. I ran out of nails and had to use duck-tape and one of Dad's shoelaces. I hope he doesn't miss it before we get home!
Please excuse me for a moment. I'm feeling a little green... But no worry! These Atlanteans are genius healers... Might even grab me a massage! They let me do all sorts of stuff my mom thinks is hairbrained...
Okay - I'm back! Much better now. Whew. Thanks Poseidia! See you next time!
Boy have I got a surprise for you! Hang on, got to find the clocktower... Got to fine-tune it so's we can see what's next!
timekeeper dude... thanks!
So, where are they.... Oh here they come! You're gonna love this!
Check this view! But you'll never believe what's coming, just aro
I am so glad he waited! Getting dark in the valley already, and h
There's our escort back to the palace! Right on time. I love bein
I love being on time for dessert!
Right this way, step along now. Hey, somebody left in a hurry --
Just around the corner... Isn't this place cool?
Man, it looks like we're late! Hope they saved some for us -- loo
(Looks like somebody's having waaay oo much fun)
WE MADE IT!Well, welcome one and all! Don't mind the revelry - they're always like that! That's what caused the end of them anyway -- too much FUN. Wait a minute! We've got a lot of that on our block back home. Why, just last week I heard Mom talking about Suzy's mom and that new guy that just moved in the corner house, where old lady Pritchett lived before she keeled over into the gin bottle... Well that's what she said! Said something about going to hell in a handbasket, too!
Finally, here's our table. Please enjoy yourselves, but not as much as the locals, or you'll be puking on the way home. Uck.
Hey! Here they come with ours!
First, I'd like to raise my glass, for a toast to our dear hostess Dryad, without whom we would all be one less amazing genius spark in the world! Thanks Dryad! Hey! Who put koolaid in my wine glass? Is my mother here?
Ahhh! take your time... In JOY!
On the left, you'll find a beautiful strawberry soup. Of course, they aren't really plain old strawberries that grow like weeds around here. Noooo. These are the ideal of all strawberries, the perfect strawberry plucked from God's own garden, with permission of course! Atlanteans are fancied to be prettty close to the old dude.
Strawberry Soup
Serves 2
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup strawberry ice cream
1/4 cup heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Chocolate syrup for garnishing champagne glasses
2 Mint Sprigs
In a food processor pulse strawberries, ice cream, 1 tablespoon heavy cream and lemon juice until smooth; transfer to a container with a pouring spout, cover and chill in refrigerate.
Put chocolate syrup in a small deep flat bowl; dip champagne glass rims in chocolate until syrup runs down the sides of the glass.
Whip the remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar. Pour strawberry soup into the chocolate rimmed champagne glasses, garnish with whipped cream, a sprig of mint and serve.
NEXT is one of my favorites:
Tiramisu Dessert in a martini glass
2/3 cup Mascarpone Italian cream cheese
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee
2 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
1 (4.75 ounce) box Soft Lady Fingers (available at Trader Joe's)
2 teaspoon semi-sweet chocolate, chopped fine
2 mint sprigs for garnish
In a mixing bowl blend cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. In a shallow bowl combine espresso and Kahlua.
Dip Lady Fingers briefly in espresso mixture; line them vertically in the glass (when they are soft they can be adjusted to fit in the narrow base of the martini glass). Fill the martini glass with the cheese mixture; garnish tiramisu with chocolate, mint sprigs and serve.
And to top it off is the Ambrosia, compliments of Puckerbutt:
Ambrosia Of The Gods: Spiced Chocolate Heather Fruit Mead!!
by PuckerButt
1 1/2 Gal. Raw Organic Fireweed/Wildflower Honey
1 1/2 Gal. Raw Organic Orange Blossom Honey
1 Gal. Canned Black Cherries and Juice
1 Gal Frozen Strawberries
1/2 Gal. Blueberries
1 Quart Blackberries
5 Lb. Mixed Pineapple, Banana, Papaya and Mango
1 Qt. Mangosteen Juice
1 Qt. Pomegranate Juice
1/4 Cup Ginger
1/4 Cup Cinnamon
1/4 Cup Nutmeg
1/4 Cup Allspice
1/4 Cup Cloves
2 Oz. Dried Heather Flowers and Tips
4 Vanilla Beans
1 Cup Dark Raw Chocolate Powder
2 Cups Scottish Yeast and the 2 Cups of Beer it was stored in
2 Oz.Yeast Nutrients
It is chock-full of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants and is very healing. Gauranteed to raise your spirits, too!!
FEEL FREE to imbibe the Moscato d'Asti: derived from 100% Muscat grapes - this is a fresh, inviting sparkler capable of handling an ultra rich cheese-cake (friends and I tried this with a honey-baked, marscapone cheesecake - fantastic!) or going solo as an afternoon apertif. Let the aromas of honeysuckle and the flavors of ripe peaches and a splash of candied pear dazzle amidst the light sparkle of this authentic Moscato. While, probably not the first choice for a wine to accompany a rich chocolate dessert, it is certainly up for the challenge of cream-based desserts or fresh fruit sorbets. With a low alcohol content (5.5% abv) and sweet flavors resulting from the natural residual sugars, this wine is as refreshing as it is easily attainable.
OKAY! Listen up! The clock just struck the last hour of the last day on earth for Atlantis! We've got to hustle, or I can't guarantee your safe return! You are welcome to bring any leftovers you can scoop into your pockets, but DON'T take any ambrosia, unless you want to join Tantalus in eternal condemnation!
Fickle darn Gods, eh?
HURRY!
Almost away!
Let's get outta here!
Ooops! Wrong turn! EEEEK! Hang on! I want my mommy!
ahhh! Home Sweet Home! Oops - you don't mind missing curfew, do y
Here, let me try something... What's this little dial do? Wow! Cool! Back to Zaangha Time! Don't want to mess up the INSANITY to come!
What a romp, guys!!! I'm tuckered. Think I'll take a nap before hitting the last two stops! Want to be all rested up to see what Dryad and Peridot are up too.... (just scroll to the bottom)

Whoo hoo…that was trippy…not sure if I can get these old sea legs working for me again…wait…oh those crystals and the unicorn made my day!
Wonderful energy there, thanks for allowing us to return to the scene and stay awhile….
A lovely visit and great transport….
Conan….onward!
Aley
WOW, that sure was an adventure :) Love the flying capsules over the water and all the gorgeous colors and scenery along the way. And the ambrosia, truly nectar for a buddingspritelet. Thank you Thank you Thank you for providing such beauty and fun on this delightful day of joy, peace, and love!
Love and peaches,
Sprite
wow! awesome ride. I'll come back here to play.
Loved the dolphin telepathy. Reminds me of one night at sea on our small sailing boat in the middle of the vast ocean. I was up on the bow (front of boat) with dolphins leaping all around, riding the wave we made as we cut through the water.
I decided to clear my mind and ask the dolphins to put one singgle thought in it.
Guess what came back?
“Great bow wave!!”
Laughed my head off out there.
These guys know the importance of play! And living in the now.
Um yeshthat wuz really good. Um thanks. Where are we? More wine? I wanna see all those cool things again!!! Can we go back? Whooz gonnadrive? The dolphin? Where'sh my umbrella? Have you seen my umbrella?
I'm a bit early but I just love dessert so here I am. What a beautiful menu! And the travels ….breathtaking! Luckily, I don't get motion sickness.
Really, lovely, lovely party. Thank you so much!
Ayla
Wow! I just came for dessert and I get a trip and there's a wild party going on.
Are you sure you aren't Mary Prankster?
Where are my shades?
Lovely dessert!
Thank youHa! Ha! That was soooo cool!!! I'm like Jena, I will come back here to play and do that again! It is amazing what all of this “virtual” energy does for one's frequencies! I feel every cell of my being buzzing with all of the positive energy generated today with our Virtual Party and all of these exotic places and astral travels.
Thanks, Mary, for a wild ride!
Again again again again! Yeah that was fun! But seriously. Again. I stuck my arms and legs outside the ride and now there stuck in another time zone. Can someone spoon me some of that desert? Thanks Mary.
If it weren't for the fact that Dryad and Peridot weren't waiting down the road, I would so stay here! The scenery is amazing and the company is even more. Thanks for a great time!
I think I'll make the Strawberry Soup for breakfast.
Love ya!
Mamakat
Strawberry Soup … strawberry soup … I want to live on Strawberry Soup
I want to live on the Atlantian Loop
I want to live with this Zaadzith group
I want to live on … strawberry soup
Strawberry Soup! Strawberry Soup!
I wanna live on Strawberry Soup!
I Love Atlantis. Mary invented it and then I got to get in her head and go there. That is so cool. She was even wearing a hard hat and everything, but I got in her head anyway and I got to go to Atlantis!
Now I'm going to Lisbon. I have a fantastic black dress that is clingy and slithers. I have a shawl that is two thousand years old and belonged to every kind of Gypsy. I have Lorrenna McKennit's hair and a necklace that came out of the sea. I can't sing, but if I can go to Atlantis and the 4th Dimension and IDAHO, I can do anything, so I'm going to sing in Lisbon now and it will be beautiful and it will break the hearts of everyone and then we will join our hands together in a big circle and pull down all the love from the sky and we will heal the hearts that were broken and all the other broken hearts besides. We will stop the war and stop all kinds of wars. We will make makings that are beauty and breath and the world will become the kind of garden that Mary sees behind her closed eyes.
Zaangha.
Mary! I got lost between the 14th Century and Switzerland yesterday. I made it as far as the beautiful unicorn ride and then for some reason ended up in another galaxie completely separate from dessert!!! I am back today and was happy to see that the tiramisu was still chillin' in those martini glasses! Totally YUM!!!
I missed you AND Dryad in Lisbon!!! I wonder if the two of you missed having your super powers transport you into the city? Well, you know it will be there forever!!! for you to enjoy so come on over!
Red rover, red rover - let Mary and Dryad come over!
Oh! thank god that time does not exist otherwise I might have missed this fabulous feast of a journey and all that revelry and deliciousness, thank you Mary!! Lisbon? I don't have the right dress and my head is reeling and I think I'll just go and plant flowers in it for a while…
What an awesome ride!!!!!! Thanks for dessert! It was to die for!!! or at least to travel thru time for…
