German Sweet Chocolate Pie

Yes, I know, this is not a dinner. But you know me! You shouldn't be surprised that my first posted recipes would be desserts.

Side logistics note: I talked to Paula, and desserts should just be labeled as 'Desserts' so that they don't get mixed in with all our dinner recipes.

German Sweet Chocolate Pie
Ingredients:
1 pkg (4 oz) Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate
1/3 c. milk
2 T. sugar
4 oz (1/2 package) cream cheese, softened
1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
1 prepared Oreo crumb crust

Directions:
Heat chocolate and 2 T. of the milk in saucepan over low heat, stirring until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat. In separate bowl, beat sugar into cream cheese. Add remaining milk and the chocolate mixture and beat until smooth. Fold in cool whip. Spoon into crust. Freeze until firm (about four hours). Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired. Let stand at room temperature for about one hour before serving. Store any leftover pie in freezer.

This is a very light, summery pie. It has a distinctive flavor because of the German chocolate. You could also top it with more Cool Whip.

A Few Logistics (Post Labels and Comment Notification)

Here are a couple things I've learned from my other multi-contributor blog:

Labels are probably going to be the best way to organize the blog in such a way that it becomes a good resource for the future. You label a post before you publish it at the bottom of the window by typing where it says 'labels for this post'. As long as we pay attention to each other's labels and try not to be redundant, it should work well. So, if you post a menu, label it 'Menus'. If you post something like this about layout or logistics or whatever, label it 'Logistics'. Other than that, the recipes should have multiple labels like chicken/vegetarian/beef/etc., level of difficulty, time needed, or anything else you think is pertinent.

The other thing I found is that it's difficult to keep track of all the comments when people are not only commenting on the most recent entry. If you want to be notified by email when someone comments somewhere on this blog, you'll need to add your email address next to mine under 'comment notification'. You get there by clicking on the Settings tab and then Comments, and it's at the bottom of that screen.

Do you guys have any other ideas?
