And so it begins

Hello Again! Not much new to report here.

Been a quiet week here. We have still yet to start the install of the new heating system, and wouldn’t you know it they are predicting a Freak October Snowstorm for today. Well I for one will believe it when I see it (I tend to not believe the weather people as they have cried wolf one too many times). Come on Irene?

Tonight is also our friends 3rd Annual Halloween party. The costume ideas didn’t come to me as freely as they have in past years, but I think the hosts and some of the guests will get a kick out of what we decided. As the token gays (us and another couple are it in the homo dept) and the gracious guests we are, I asked our friend what we should bring (in hindsight I knew I should have asked his girlfriend). He said since I  am so good at making desserts that I should bring one.

This of course throws my brain into high gear to find something to wow them with. Boxed cake mix or brownies won’t cut it with this gaggle. The hosts are also part of our Brunch group (the token straights) so I need to be fancy and wow them. So I took to the interwebs and found a great new food blog. It is written by these 2 girls Teri and Jenni, its called Spoon Fork Bacon, what’s not to love about it with Bacon in the title. I found a great Pumpkin Mousse recipe I will be making for the party. I’ve also found 2 or 3 other recipes I think I want to try. The 2nd one that caught my eye was the Salted Caramel and Bacon ice cream, they made it into Ice Cream Sandwiches using Graham Crackers, There is my next Brunch recipe!

In the silver lining department I think this no heat in the house will do wonders for the Whipped Cream I have to make!

That’s all I got for now, check back later for costume and Pumpkin Mousse pics.
