PhilBillPaul snapped this blurry picture last Friday night.
That would be Friday, November 13th.
Which means it could have been a prank.
But it wasn’t.
Don’t mean to be a scrooge but November 13th is just…
Way. Too. Early.
For Christmas decorations.
Now on to a timely holiday topic…
Food at Thanksgiving
Last weekend I made PhilBillPaul’s favorite Thanksgiving treat because he insisted I didn’t make them last year. (Not true.)
He gets a little cranky if he doesn’t have Pumpkin Bars at least a couple of times during this season.
I totally stressed him and Scary Baby by announcing I was changing the frosting. They don’t handle change well.
But I’ve been having a little bit of a maple obsession this season.
So I went wild and substituted one teaspoon of maple flavoring instead of vanilla in the cream cheese frosting.
Woo-hoo. Giant success. Maybe a permanent change. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Recipe here and was even featured here too.
Um, yes, I do believe the frosting should be almost the same height as the cake/bar base.
Imagine my excitement when I found this recipe today for…
Maple Tangerine Cranberry Sauce.
A new addition to our menu I can’t wait to make!
Have a great weekend and feel free to share any of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes (even if they don’t have maple)!
