I love holiday memories like that. 

We have the cake and filling made for a Bouche de Noel.  Will assemble and make the frosting tomorrow morning for friends coming over tomorrow at lunchtime.

It is a labor of love indeed. No chocolate ganache on top? It tastes better the next day. I hope everyone enjoyed it :)

Teetime, that looks delicious.

I had a special request for Chocolate Pots de Crème, which are easy peasy.  I am happy.  We are doing prime rib, asparagus, salad, mashed potatoes and then, that.  T-giving was such a splash out, I am taking it easy for Christmas.  Plus, I have had a houseful to cook for since late last week...

We are grilling rib eyes and serving with mashed potatoes, creamed spinach (my granny's recipe), blau kraut (MIL's recipe), and green beans (kids' choice). But first we have to eat a whole bunch of snacks!

Oh no meri!  Did you get it out in one piece?  Or many pieces and extra frosting? 

Our bouche de Noel turned out nicely. And everyone thought it delicious. DD was very pleased.

I made a new gingerbread cake in a square dish. I put the destroyed one in a Tupperware container and will think about what to do with it even if I cut it up and bring it to work.

I did not get the time to bake as much as I wanted since my mom was severely injured in a car accident a couple of weeks ago and I have been looking after her farm and back and forth to hospital but I made these this morning again and they are amazing.  I add some espresso powder to mine.  https://food52.com/recipes/19209-divine-gluten-free-chocolate-cookies-no-seriously

I wish I could take that gingerbread off your hands and into my mouth, Meri!  :D

I made a bacon cheesecake.  Basically a normal cheesecake, but I I fried a package of maple bacon and cut it up and put it in the cheesecake.  I also used 3 tsp of bourbon instead of 2 tsp of vanilla extra.  And drizzles a maple, bourbon, & sea salt sauce/partial-reduction on top.  It was yummy.  But I already have ideas for next time to get a little more bourbon & maple flavor without overpowering the bacon.  There is room for additional sweetness without getting two sweet.  Of course, "next time" may be awhile.

Our apple cinnamon bourbon turned out yummy!




It was expensive though so I don't think we'll give it to people again who didn't seem that enthusiastic about it.
