Short and Sweet Weekend Recap
Good Monday morrow to you all. I hopeth thee hath much tomfoolery to reminisce upon from thine weekend. (Damn that would be exhausting to talk like that all of the time.) We've had biblical rain all week and weekend so road tripping would've been out of the question. No one wants to drive on slick roads for hours so we were stuck at home. I am pretty sure unless it's for pizza, we're done eating out for a while. I got so ticked trying to order from a new place and all of the hoops they wanted you to jump through that I said screw it and the Mr was ticked too and said they were shysters. ($42 for what equates to Chinese takeout "bowl". Nope.) Then he mentioned a BBQ place and I was resistant because BBQ always makes me sick, without question.

ReplyDeleteBoy, I'm trying to think of a restaurant that I've had a super dessert at and I'm drawing a blank. The first thing that came to mind for spectacular was my mom's strawberry roll cake that is out of this world! Second to that is an apple cake. I've made homemade eclairs with chou paste which I have to say are pretty fabulous, but I wouldn't say it's top of the tops.
ReplyDeleteThe Gingerbread pudding cake from Bon appetit magazine is one of the only desserts to truly stop me in my tracks. Years ago I tagged along with a friend to her co-worker's "dessert party."

This woman had made all the desserts herself and there were many of them displayed all around living room, dining room and kitchen of her gorgeously restored Craftsman-style house. I tracked down the recipe online and have made it several times. It's always a hit.
