				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tidewater area is known for many things and is full of rich history!  This weekend boasted the 37th annual Norfolk HARBORFEST!  This region&#8217;s wealth and livelihood is owed a lot to its connection to the local waterways, ships and military.  Over a quarter century ago when the Norwegian Tall Ship Chiristian Radich came to call on Norfolk, a waterfront community. The ship docked there and over the next few days its gangway was crossed by over 13000 people!!! Soon in the years to come  more ships would com and a waterfront public park was established to accommodate and that is when the Norfolk Harborfest was born.  Now over a half million visitors from all over gather in downtown Norfolk to enjoy this Nautical tradition and celebration!  They celebrate through festivities, children&#8217;s activities, fire works and so much more. This year the friday events were cancelled due to weather, but rain and wind did not thwart the plans of saturday and sunday!  Everyone enjoyed themselves.  Check out my photo gallery of all the fun. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4260" alt="harborfest2013" src="http://blogs.fox43tv.com/files/2013/06/harborfest2013.jpg" width="266" height="190" /></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most exciting past times in our recent history is the fascination with reality shows and televised contests.  The more that we watch these shows and become loyal followers we begin to believe that we too may have a chance.  A chance to win, a chance to dream, and a chance to be famous!  Well that is just what happened to a local Chesapeake woman, Cynthia Chang!  She has been a fan and social media follower of the hit FOX show, that can be considered a trendsetter in the televised talent competitions, American Idol.  Her extensive support and knowledge recently paid off.  FOX 43 partnered with local radio station Hot 100.5 for the, &#8220;Fly Away Contest&#8221;.  For weeks viewers were encouraged to text answers about American Idol for a chance to win a trip to L.A to the season finale to witness the selection of the next American Idol.  Cynthia may not be able to display her talent for the American Idol stage, but she has won the ultimate prize as a fan by winning an all expense paid trip.  The best part of her story is that she chose her tween daughter, Jessica to experience this once in a lifetime moment.  The two have been enjoying their time in L.A., running into stars and hanging out at after parties!  We are so excited for them and again would like to congratulate Cynthia on her win!

1 T rose water</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Preparation</span>: In a small sauce pot, combine ½ cup of the raspberry juice and all the water. Add the gelatin, sugar and salt and allow to dissolve 5 minutes. Gently heat to melt gelatin. Remove from the heat and add the remaining raspberry juice and the rose water. Stir to combine. Pour into a small bowl and set in the refrigerator to set up.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Ingredients for the frosting:</span></strong><br />
1 stick unsalted butter, room temp.<br />
1 8oz packet cream cheese, room temp.<br />
1 16oz box of powdered sugar<br />
1 t vanilla extract</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Preparation</span>: Sift the powdered sugar. Cream together the butter and the cream cheese. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until completely combined making sure to work out any lumps. Set aside, covered.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Ingredients for the cake:</span></strong><br />
1 ½ cups cake flour<br />
2 t cocoa powder<br />
½ t baking soda<br />
½ t salt<br />
1 large egg<br />
¾ cup sugar<br />
¾ cup canola oil<br />
½ t white vinegar<br />
1 oz red food coloring<br />
1 t vanilla extract<br />
½ cup buttermilk</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Preparation</span>: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 8oz ramekins with butter.</p>
<p>Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Then, in a bowl, combine the egg and sugar, whisk together. Next add the oil, vinegar, food coloring and vanilla and whisk to combine. Next add the sifted dry ingredients and buttermilk, alternating for three additions and stirring with a rubber spatula until completely combined.</p>
<p>Spoon enough batter into each ramekin to cover the bottom. Once set up, take the raspberry and rose water gel and scoop out a small bit with a tablespoon. Place the scoop of gel into the center of the ramekin, on top of the batter. Finally fill the ramekin 3/4 full with the remaining batter, making sure to cover the gel center.</p>
<p>Set the ramekins on a clean cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes then rotate. Continue baking for another 10 minutes or until you can softly touch the top of the cake without leaving an impression. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Smear a few tablespoons of cream cheese frosting on top and garnish with candied rose petals. Any remaining raspberry gel can be re-melted in a microwave and used as a garnishing sauce.</p>

<p><strong>Joe Bastianich’s Wine Pairing Recommendation: <em>BRACHETTO D’ACQUI</em> </strong></p>
<p>“My pick for Graham’s  Molten Red Velvet Cake with Candied Rose Petals is a good <strong>Brachetto d’Acqui</strong>. Hailing from Piemonte, Italy, near Asti, this wine tends to be lower in alcohol per volume (around 5.5%). Brachetto is often paired with desserts because of its light, fruity and naturally semi-sweet profile. It is often lightly sparkling, which helps lighten up a more dense dessert. With notes of strawberry and rose petals, it is particularly perfect for the Molten Red Velvet Cake. On a side note, it is also one of the few wines that pairs nicely with dark and milk chocolate.”</p>
