The Second Annual Festival of Desserts
It is that special time of year. Continuing the tradition started last year, I hosted the second annual Festival of Desserts on Friday. As always, I ran out of time and didn't make all the desserts I wanted to prepare. Here are the desserts that were enjoyed for this year's festival.
- Banana Chocolate Walnut Brownies
- Chocolate Brownies
- Egg Nog Rum Cake
- Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- Cheesecake
- Lunchroom Butter Cookies
- McNannygocious Pound Cake
- Egg Nog Pound Cake
- Red Velvet Cake
- Banana Nut Bread
- 7 Up Cake
- Lemon Squares
- Sweet Potato Pie
Special thanks to Joey for the lemon squares, David for the sweet potato pies, and JS & AF for the chicken. Another big hit of the party was the hot apple cider with the mulling spices from Williams-Sonoma. A good time was had by all. I must apologize for not taking more dessert photos.

If you couldn't get shots of the desserts, you should have taken pictures of everybody falling out after they'd eaten.
Sounds like a fun party.

Hello! If I can't eat it can I at least look at it all? *sniff*
