Choose wisely...
We did a Secret Santa name-draw at work, and then everyone got the flu. Except me. I got a nasty sore throat for a day, but I'm not bragging. I figure my body is waiting for spring to come and for everything to get beautiful and then nail me with the Mutant Death Flu or something. Anyway, I digress, on to more important matters.
My Santa got me a chocolate-strawberry cake pop kit, and a separate cake pop maker. And if that wasn't awesome enough, she also got me a cookbook. Of desserts. All of which can be made and/or served in jars. It is SO ADORABLE! And it includes such things as espresso creme brulee, lemon-blueberry bread pudding, sweet corn panna cotta with bacon & blueberry sauce, fried ice cream, peach-bourbon pie, and a variety of cheesecakes. That's just a small sample of what I've been fantasizing about making for the last 8 hours.
You will imagine my delight in being invited to dinner with some friends this Sunday, and being asked to make dessert. And I have it narrowed down to 2 (or 5 or 6, don't you dare judge me) choices. And all I can think about is how to make OTHER desserts that fit in jars. Because seriously that's awesome.
I might just make both of my top 2 choices, and call it awesome. That likelihood is becoming more and more of a certainty the longer I think about it.
