I’m already making plans for Turkey Day, and giving serious consideration to what desserts I should make. Every year, in addition to other desserts, I make the mandatory pumpkin pie. In keeping with tradition, everybody eats a sliver of pumpkin pie, mostly as a vehicle for a big blob of homemade whipped cream, then they move on to bigger and better things.
I’m thinking this year, I’ll just buck tradition and make a pumpkin praline torte instead. Still pumpkin, still whipped cream, but with pecans…and carmelized topping….and, well, yum!
Then, because you just can’t never have enough dessert, I think I’ll make a berry tart, probably an apple pie, and maybe something chocolate, just to cover all the bases. Maybe some brandied, chocolate covered cherries. I usually make those for Christmas, but since I’m bucking tradition, why not just let it fly?
Dang, I guess I’ll have to make a turkey and some other stuff before I can have dessert. Bother. Hmmm…you think that will be enough dessert for ten people????
