Because I am STUFFED! I hope that everyone had a sweet Thanksgiving. I sure did. I'm still recovering (by vegging on the couch in front of the LSU game with a PBR in one hand and a fistful of buffalo chicken dip in the other). My tummy ache could be attributed to one of two things:
1. This ginormous plate of food. WHAT WAS I THINKING?
2. The anxiety of my midnight Kohl's run. My mom coerced me into going despite my disdain for large crowds and Kohl's in general. Black Friday shopping has always been a tradition for us but these midnight openings took the insanity to a whole new level. Let's just say that this moonlight trip ended with my mom flinging an armful of reasonably-priced clothing at a Kohl's employee and sprinting out of the store empty handed.
Anyway, before this drama ensued, I was slaving away in the kitchen making some fabulous thanksgiving desserts.
Evidence of my slaving:
I made three holiday desserts: a bourbon caramel apple pie, a chocolate ganache tart, and a brown butter pumpkin cake with maple bourbon frosting. I think I have a bourbon addiction??? The booze overdose wan unintentional. I swear it.
That apple pie was not super attractive, but man, it was delicious. My dad (who, unlike his spawn, is a legit photographer) took the two photos above.
My brother's birthday was also on Thanksgiving this year, so I made him a special cake. I didn't have any chances to practice my cake decorating in France (French people do not eat cakes like this. Ever.), but I think it came out pretty well.
YUM. I hope that everyone enjoyed a mighty feast yesterday and that you have a wonderful remainder of your weekend!
