We don't have Thanksgiving here in Singapore, and Christmas isn't the biggest holiday here, so I thought I'd contribute to this by eating a third of all the desserts served at a relative's wedding. (November and December are the months when weddings are like the holidays, because almost every weekend sees you attending at least three weddings). First image is that of traditional Malay rice flour goodies, all different, all amazing tasting. I apologise for the low resolution images!
Second image is an assortment of fruit tarts (OMG, AMAZEBALLS CUSTARD!), dinosaur egg and chocolate chip muffins, and a deceivingly gross-looking tri-coloured cake that is surprisingly moist and fluffy and tasty and luscious and and and... just good okay. Trust me. I am a jeenierz.
I can safely say that yours truly is incredibly dumb in rationing her stomach space, because I didn't have room to try the other two thirds of dessert served... after eating at least 5 of each dessert displayed in the images. Too much good food in plain sight = brain freeze. Much woe.0 -

The array of desserts was awesome, but sadly, I have no ability to replicate such flavours when I want. Nothing beats having awesome talent like you, because you're capable of producing mouthwatering treats yourself! 0 -

You can learn if you like. I've only been baking for a year or so; mostly I taught myself. I'll warn you though-- learning to bake is like opening Pandora's box. :laugh:0 -

Finally getting around to posting!
Day 1: Red Lobster for lunch including Clam Chowder and Cheddar Bay Biscuits, later Apple Pie that my husband made in the flurry of Thanksgiving preparations he wanted time in the kitchen.... and some Graeter's Salted Caramel ice cream
Day 2: All the Thanksgiving foods but was very disappointed in the dessert selection at this particular celebration, including my own contribution.
Day 3: Upgrading my dessert from Thanksgiving (Pumpkin Cheesecake) into Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake bars with Salted Caramel Glaze. Lots of taste testing to get it right.
Original:
Cut and Improved:
Also popcorn and raisinets at the movies...
Day 4: Thanksgiving part 2 and our family pumpkin challenge:
Day 5: Pumpkin Bread, French Toast at family brunch, and a Gingersnap cookie last night.0 -
