Boy, did I ever get tired of Thanksgiving recipes. Every single blog for weeks screamed, "The most comprehensive Thanksgiving recipe list you'll ever need," or "The best turkey," or "Turkey leftovers I have known." Too much. I stopped checking any blogs in my Google Reader that had the work "turkey" in it.
Which isn't to say that I haven't been amassing a bunch of new recipes. Haven't kicked many tires or taken much out for a spin given that I'm lucky to find time to shower these days, however, a girl can dream. Get a load of:

If it is good enough for Orangette I'm pretty sure it is going to be good enough for me and then some.
Joy the Baker has had, as usual, some dreamy stuff of late. Every time I look at this recipe I want to run into the kitchen and start measuring:

Coffee Toffee anyone? It is cruel of me to me to post this because, gentle reader, I am out of coffee. I can't sleep because I only have 8 billion things to do before 8am, and I have no coffee. And it's raining out. And I've been up since 5:30am. The headache I am going to have in about 4-3-2-1 seconds is going to be a bitch. Still, though, if I had some of this toffee right now it might not be ALL bad:
Coffee Toffee, link and picture from Smitten KitchenSpeaking of coffee, and damn, it's early, I have to think about breakfast this morning for the small people here in
the house. While pancakes will probably be what they request, these sound better to me:
Camino's egg baked in creamOf course, even though they sound better, offering my kids eggs with onions in them would cause them to have a rage stroke.
Now, the madness must end. I must find a pillow or caffeine. Later----Iced
