Caramel Coffee Mousse



I love desserts, any party...buffet...restaurant I go to...the first thing we sisters check out...The Dessert Counter, and mousse is my favorite... I know the mousse at restaurants are made with raw eggs, I am totally fine with that...But somehow I DO NOT trust myself with raw eggs...that is why I prefer making mousse using gelatine...I know ..I know ...gelatine is made from animal tissues...but my entire family acts dumb,deaf and blind when that issue comes up...coz we all love mousse.

Lip balm was a pitfall we missed when going gluten-free.  We spent endless time searching for something that was reasonably priced and didn't try to slip through the gluten-free net by using wheat germ oil.  While I have been assured by businesses that processing the wheat germ oil removes the gluten protein, there is debate as to whether it removes enough for those who are gluten sensitive below 20 ppm. Also, those sensitive to wheat itself in addition to the gluten protein can still react badly to wheat germ oil. As a bonus, most companies don't mention if their vitamin E oil is wheat-derived. So we finally gave up and made our own. You can buy your own fillable lip balm tubes online, but I found it cheaper to buy a big pack of cheap lip balm, twist the bottom to get all the balm out of them, and scrub them out with hot water, dishsoap, and cotton swabs.  When they were clean, I turned the base until the inner screw was back down to the bottom so that it coul...
