The time has come that I must admit I am just about finished with feasting. After a traditional Thanksgiving feast at my son's house yesterday we had another gathering involving food with my FF's family this evening. Side note here, after deciding that GPF wasn't appropriate, I've decided to go with FF as a new acronym for my fiancé. In the world of texting FF stands for Friends Forever, which is appropriate, but in my mind it will stand for Fine Fiancé. But I digress. I am happy to report that the carrot cake I baked, based on my sister-in-law's secret recipe, was delicious and very well received. Thanks to the new mixer I gave to my FF as an early Christmas present, when his died a few days ago, the prep was much easier than I expected. Instead of needing to beat the batter by hand when it got very thick, I was able to use the dough hook attachments that did a great job of mixing the dough. Also, the cake was deliciously enhanced by cream cheese frosting. My FF, who is allergic to corn in all forms including corn syrup, discovered an amazing cream cheese frosting recipe using maple syrup. It was the perfect finish for that perfect cake and a perfectly filling two days, Now it's back to eating healthy, at least for a month. But, on the other hand, carrots are good for you. Perhaps I should have one more piece before I waddle off to bed.
