...so Thanksgiving is over and my refrigerator is bare, along with my cake and cookie dishes...WHAT HAPPENED???? (LOL)! This is the first Thanksgiving in the history of my life that I did not have anything really left over. The only survivor are 2 of the 4 cornish hens that I prepared and my plan is to make a dish out of them tomorrow with rice, celery, carrots, cream of mushroom...and whatever else come to mind. This is probably the third time this year that I have actually prepared poultry at my house. I remember when I was young, my great-aunt would make this boiled chicken and rice dish that was to die for! My brothers and I would also have biscuits and syrup with it during the winter months. I plan to make something similar only with my cornish hens.
You would not believe that I don't have one thing sweet to eat in my kitchen. I just couldn't end the weekend without something chocolate, so I made chocolate brownies and smeared leftover chocolate icing all over them! YUUUUUUMMY! When my great-aunt would make cakes, we could not touch them until they were completely cool. Man, I will tell you that I ate two of them straight out of the oven and drank a large cup of milk. You would have thought that someone had given me an extra strength anti-depressant! IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just made everything perfect!
I plan to have another brownie with my coffee in the morning and begin the week in great spirits. Make sure that you don't forget that Thanksgiving is everyday and that you have much to be grateful for. Do a good deed for someone else this week and do it YOUR WAY!
Oh, and if some of the brownies are left after tomorrow I will post some pictures!
TTYL,
Shammara (muah)
