Porsche Club Clay Pigeon Shoot on 3/27/09

Although the number of participants was small everyone had a really good time. The course was very difficult as it was set up for a competition on the Sunday! However everyone persevered and hit some targets.
It would be fun to repeat the event in the future if members were interested.
Elly’s bruise was a colorful reminder of the outing as seen by many at Ron’s potluck supper evening!!

Pictures from Driving Event at Immokalee Regional Raceway

Saturday May 23rd, Everglades Region had a driving event at the Immokalee Regional Raceway, right next to the airport. We had a slalom course set up at the end of the 1/8th mile drag strip. Driver's were flagged off from the beginning of the drag strip, then at the end was a slalom course run in both directions, before heading back to the start. Jenny Branston kept us honest with her stopwatch at the finish line. Porsche of Naples had a hospitality tent. Bill Hutchins picked up coffee and snacks on his way there. The weather cooperated, despite all the rain the previous few days.

Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club may be the most exclusive group you don’t belong to. We’re so exclusive that no one can join. No one can quit either. That’s because we don’t actually have members.


The Breakfast Club is simply a monthly gathering of car enthusiasts from the Naples and Fort Myers area. We gather on the 2nd Saturday of each month at various locations in the Fort Myers and Naples area. It doesn't matter what sort of car you drive - you just have to enjoy cars, and hanging out with other people that have the same addiction.


We normally start gathering around 9 in the morning and by 11:00 everyone is gone. There’s no official time and no real agenda. We don’t even allow nametags. Only real organizations have nametags. Remember we’re not a real organization. Nor do we aspire to be one. We love the challenge of not being an organization.


We depend on the good will of our hosts – and our Yahoo mailing list. Without these two items the Breakfast Club would be toast.


This month we’re going back to Naples and Evolution Motorworks. This will be a good time to bring neighbors and friends. We can never have too many people. Just remind them that they can’t join. Oh you can’t join either. We’re that exclusive. We’re so special that no one can join. It’s ok to just show up though.

Libby Biehl's famous German Chocolate Cake Recipe

Cake:
4 oz package of Sweet Chocolate
1/2 C Water
2 C Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Salt
1 C butter (2 sticks softened)
2 C Sugar
4 Eggs (separated)
1 tsp Vanilla
1 C Buttermilk (I make my own)

Line the bottom of (3) 9” round cake pans with wax paper, grease the sides of the pans.
Melt chocolate and water in the microwave until chocolate is melted - about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes
Mix flour, baking soda and salt (set aside)
Beat butter and sugar in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg yokes, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in chocolate mixture and vanilla.
Add flour mixture alternating with buttermilk beating well until completely blended.
Beat egg whites in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently stir into batter. Pour batter evenly into round cake pans.

Bake for 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Immediately run spatula between cakes and sides of pan. Cool for at least 15 minutes. Remove cake layers from pans, remove wax paper and continue to cool on racks.
If you wish you can cut the 3 layers to make 6 and have more filling in between each layer.
You can also make about 24 cup cakes with this

FROSTING
2 cans (12 oz each) Evaporated Milk
3 Cups Sugar
3 Stick of Butter
8 Egg Yokes - Slightly beaten
3 tsp vanilla
14 oz Coconut Flake
3 Cups Pecans

Mix milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks and vanilla in a large saucepan. Cook on medium heat for about 12 minutes, it should start to thicken. I always make sure it comes to a slight boil. It will also start to turn golden brown. Make sure it does not burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.

Remove from heat and allow it to thicken. Mix in coconut and pecans. Allow to cool to room temperature. If it does not thicken enough it can be put back on the heat for a short time to help it to thicken some.

It you do not wish to cover the entire cake with frosting and only have the frosting in between each layer then cut the frosting receipt in 1/2

HOME MADE BUTTER MILK
1 cup whole milk either 1 and 3/4 Tablespoons cream of tartar or 1 Tablespoon white vinegar or 1 Tablespoon lemon juice.
Add acidic ingredient (tartar, vinegar or lemon juice) to the milk and stir. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. The milk should start to curdle. Stir well before using.
I prefer the lemon juice as it seems to work the best.

Enjoy
