Today is National Indian Pudding Day. Okay then. I've never heard of it. Apparently it's the feather Indians which I am part of. Shame on me. We are suppose to get a shit ton of rain this weekend. Good football watching weather though. And food? Yes. If you could have your most favorite desert, from anywhere you've had the pleasure, where is it from and what would it be?
After dinner and drinks, my favorite dessert would be this one ex-girlfriends pussy. My God, what a great end to the meal. And yes, I totally understand I took this in a really creepy direction. So sue me.
My mom makes a pecan pie with Steen's cane syrup, chocolate, and small batch bourbon, then tops it with fresh whipped cream. That's probably my death row dessert. Second is this Rum Baba from Joseph's Deli down here. They stuff the pastry with cannoli filling then drizzle rum syrup all over it. I am not big on candy, snack cakes, ice cream, processed stuff. French and Italian pastries I will throw the fuck down on. Tarte Tartin, eclair, brioche with raisins, chocolate lava cake, souffle, creme brulee, cannoli, tiramisu. Someone getting in my way will lose a hand. A slightly undercooked chocolate chip with too much butter in the batter is better than a case of Oreos. In Paris I had a fresh croissant stuffed with almond pastry creme and topped with roasted almonds. It was like eating God's pussy, but better. Emeril's recipe for Banana Cream Pie is probably my favorite pie. Look at this thing:
Chocolate éclair cake (I don't know why it's called "cake," because it is actually more like cake and pie made sweet, chocolaty love and had an éclair baby) Some version of this: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/19009/chocolate-eclair-dessert/ You can even use light or low-fat versions of the ingredients, if you desire, and it's still delicious. Although, I'd be willing to try TVI's ex-girlfriend's pussy. I hear it's really good.
One Ive made a few times: Bourbon Ginger Snap Pumpkin Pie For the gingersnap crust: 1 1/2cups finely ground gluten-free gingersnaps 6tablespoons butter, melted and cooled For the filling: 1 1/3 cups pumpkin purée 2 eggs 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled 3/4 cup heavy cream 1/3 cup sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons bourbon 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Preheat your oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, mix together the gingersnap crumbs and butter. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure to cover the bottom and sides. Bake until lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Increase the oven temperature to 375° F. In a large bowl, whisk together all the filling ingredients. Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 45 minutes, or until set. The center should be fairly jiggly, but it will set as it cools. Cool to room temperature, then serve.
Chocolate lava cake! Even when it's mediocre, it's still good. My favorite is from Roy's. I've always loved chocolate-chocolate anything, but this lava-ty goodness makes me want to splooge. I don't like to share.
I must say that this is an odd topic for a Drunk Thread, Shegirl, but I'll go with it. Since I'm from Texas, I'd have to say the Chihuahuan desert, West of the Pecos river. I crossed through it with my mom on our way to visit relatives when I was 6 years old, and I've always wanted to go camping out there. In other news, I just got a call from my parole officer, and I have been placed on the "Minimum Supervision" plan, meaning that I only have to check in to the parole office every three months from now on! Good lord, I hate going down to that office; sitting around in a hot, stuffy waiting room just so I can have my life scrutinized and piss in a cup, never knowing for sure if I was going to be walking out of there on my own, or in handcuffs with the cops... No thanks.
Back to the Hollywood actor with AIDS mentioned at the end of the last WDT, from all accounts Ive read and from sleuthing, its Charlie Sheen and a lot of the other info including "A-List" and some of the women he's "dated" were smokescreens by various PR people to throw them off the trail.
http://venturebeat.com/2015/11/13/pornhubs-traffic-dipped-significantly-the-day-fallout-4-came-out/ Pornhub, one of the world’s most popular adult video sites, told GamesBeat that it saw a 10 percent drop in traffic among gamers after Fallout 4 came out earlier this week. On November 10, traffic started to drop at around 5 a.m. after most people finished downloading and installing the game. That decrease from normal patterns continued until around 3 p.m. Gamers then seemed to disappear again beginning at 6 p.m.
Yeah...damn you, Soonergal. I spent way more time than I'd like to admit going down the rabbit hole of the mystery HIV celeb. Gotta agree with Wags. It's gotta be Charlie Sheen. It sucks for anyone to get the HIV, but I'm not really surprised.
Pretty much any pastry from a proper French bakery. I mean a real French bakery, on French soil, fucking French flag flapping in the wind somewhere nearby. Never had a substandard baked good from a Frenchman.
God I hated that shit, when I got my 150 hours of community service done and walked in for my last check in my PO took my service sheet, scanned it and tossed it into the trash. Didn't check one entry. Just the thought of having to go back through all that BS is why I won't get behind the wheel liquored up again.
Well, since it's France and not 'Murica, I'm sure the national news outlets will devote a 30 second soundbite in between Kardashian updates.
