Tiramisu on a budget

deleted_user

I'm (attempting) to make Tiramisu for my husband on Valentines Day. I'm having trouble finding most of the ingredients. So I'm substituting espresso with instant french vanilla cappuccino and ladies fingers with pound cake. Now I can't find mascarpone cheese. Does anyone know a good substitute for it? Has anyone here made tiramisu (on a budget) before?

You know, I've heard you can make it from scratch (this surprised me though it should not have LOL) I just grew up never thinking that we could make things like mayonnaise at home. I'll see what I can find.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
