You are what you eat

Have you ever played that game where everyone gets matched to their spirit animal? Today at work we played a similar one with desserts. 

Some people's spirit food described them so accurately. One friend of mine was fittingly a lemon bar. Me? I got a raspberry crumble bar, and our tall skinny supervisor was a pistachio ice cream cone. It reminded me of how some people look like their dogs! 

What dessert would you be?

Thanksgiving is in the air!

I just might have to try making Giada's chocolate hazelnut tart from The Food Network. I'd much prefer having a dessert like this over a traditional pie during the holidays. Get the recipe here! 

And be sure to check out the New York Times's Thanksgiving Hotline for answers to everything Thanksgiving-related! Although Christmas songs might already be on the radio, it's nice to see this holiday's not forgotten by everyone! 

p.s. I might have to cave and try out this pie. Heavens! The layers!
