We went to my brother’s for Thanksgiving.  His wife (Christy) set up an entire table full of treats/items for the kids to build gingerbread type structures.  She even measured out separate little bags of icing for each child.

While the kids got sticky the adults played Cards Against Humanity. 

I kept wondering what sort of twisted people developed the cards for the game while simultaneously imagining myself squeezing one those little bags of icing directly into my mouth.

Christy is a cheesemonger. I knew she would have a stunning cheese platter on display. She did!

There was one in particular I’d never tried before. It was a peppermint cheese. Anyone who knows me knows I adore cheese! Like, I used to have an entire shelf in my fridge dedicated to cheese. I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like. I asked her if she thought they’d have it next year. She said she thought they would. 

I’m going to have to start an official list!

Things to try after my competition:

1.) peppermint cheese (Sartori-PEPPERMINT BELLAVITANO)

2.) pumpkin pie spice cookie butter (Trader Joe’s)

3.) pumpkin spice truffles (Lindt)

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!
