Haven’t been that bad on sweets yet…
Yeah, the first day and one of the buyers got some sample desserts in and spread the wealth.
A Caramel Creme Brulee, a ginormous cream puff covered in caramel and nuts, a lemon meringue tart, and an espresso/caramel/pecan cake… (See a pattern here???)
Having samples of each, I am really surprised I didn’t lapse in to a diabetic coma. Oh, yeah. Two home made chocolate chip cookies. Was disappointed there wasn’t any milk nearby. Am hoping not to gain too much weight. But if there are more treats like this, I fore see a bread and water diet after the first of the year…
I am wondering if the homemade cookie tray I’m buying will last until next Monday when I’m visiting cousins??? Yeah they will. I have made a plan B for that. A little something for me in the way of what I call nut horns. Dough, sugar, nuts and crispy. Sounds like a sure sugar high. Note to self: Make sure plenty of milk is on hand…
There is a chance to have a White Christmas as long as Old Man Winter decides to make an appearance… Or that danged end of the world thingie at the end of the week doesn’t screw things up.
Oh yeah… McRibs are back. And a Christmas party shindig and I may have to over-inflate the tires on the car or make sure the shocks are in good shape.
Oh, the food based blog??? Beats the usual stuff I write. And I am fresh out of ideas right now. I do have ideas but my source material is elsewhere so I’ll be trying to create something out of that. And any way, food stuff is way better to talk about. That and wine. And it beats bitching about work or whatever mundane thing that irritates the day lights of me. A shout out to the people who have to Christmas Eve/Day and New Years Eve/Day. The ones who are in The Armed Forces, Police and Fire fighters, the people who work at the hospitals, and to that person who’s working at whatever store that’s opened on those days so you can pick up that last minute thing you forgot/need. Or that little diner that you pop into so you can rest up and not cook after a long a busy day. Many Thanks to you out there.
Going to pop in Neal Schon’s Late Nite. A little bit of electric guitar to lull me into some needed sleep.
Why the food style blog??? In that mood and watching food shows. Gordon Ramsey is not the foul mouth person when he’s not trying to either judge a contest or trying to fix a failing restaurant.
Time for a shower.
Have a stress-free holiday season and lets remember that the purpose of the season is to be with those you care about and trying to keep up those in Podville or the Joneses…
Ciao

I got a sugar buzz just reading the descriptions. If someone breaks into your place and steals all the goodies, the police can follow the trail of crumbs back to my house.
Huh? What do you mean, where’s the cake? It wasn’t ME that ate the expresso caramel pecan cake, no-sir-ee, not me, nomnomnom *swallow* *cough*, it looked great but I just couldn’t possibly eat another bite…I mean I couldn’t eat all that…
@moniet – It’s a good thing that there’s no breathalyzer for sweets…
@TheEmeraldPixie – If you put them in the trunk of your car but I don’t think they’d make it home…
So far I’ve made fudge, toffee, and cookies. Tonight will be the chocolate dipped caramel pecan clusters. Once I get this finished, it’s all getting boxed up and delivered.
They are starting to forecast a blizzard for us here. I’m hoping for just snow, but around here we usually get ice first, which makes for treacherous travel.
I’ve not watched Gordon Ramsay for awhile…mostly watching Chopped these days with all the holiday ingredients.
Take care!
