Everything improves when you add chocolate, even Thanksgiving.

Maybe it was the Thanksgiving two years ago, when my family and a friend who was staying with us, was hit with norovirus (thank you, preschool petri dish), but ever since then, I haven't been too fond of Thanksgiving. I'm also usually doing 90% of the cooking for a crowd that didn't grow up eating this slightly weird collection of foods (but who are too polite to decline the invitation, I guess?), and usually only a handful of things turns out to be worth the time, money, and effort. (Turkey, potatoes, stuffing never measure up to what they ought to taste like.)

This year I got grumpy and decided to add a chocolate tart to the mix. It improved Thanksgiving drastically, in my view. smileys/wink.gif I recommend it. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

Amen sister! And for future reference, you can make itty bitty ones in canning lids. True!

Oh bummer...I just reread the recipe and there is no crust.

CANCEL. ABORT. STOP. DON'T LISTEN. IGNORE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

 
What's not to like? Chocolate Chiboust or Bust!

I can't even remember the last time I have eaten a serving of pumpkin pie. No thanks- the shiny brown putty in the pie shell?

Now my grandmother's fluffy eggy pumpkin custard pies sprinkled with cinnamon? Those were worth the investment of calories.

Erin I'm with you. I had many helpings of chocolate dessertS this Thanksgiving too.

Life is too short to give up chocolate on Thanksgiving.

 
Amen. (I watched approximately 4 dozen episdoes of The Great British Baking Show in the last month

which may have had something to do with it.) smileys/wink.gif
