and so... September's here and stuff.
Me and Mister are going to drive to Montreal for Christmas. We decided we need to experience serious cold and snow again. We've purchased a couple maps and I get a new coat!* :)
Now to figure out how to say in French: "Excuse me, have you seen my husband? He's the bald one dishing out cold justice." Or something similar...
"Hai una melanzana en tuo baffo" was my junk Italian phrase I learned (which I may have wrong now, it's been a few years) "you have an eggplant in your moustache"
However we took away "succa me con gaccio" which has served us well and the curious expression of "faccio un gato" ("I make a cat") which means "I'm going to puke".
Recipe recipe recipe... hmmmm
Cream Cheese frosting
(yields a ridiculous amount)
16 oz Philadelphia cream cheese (2, 8 oz bricks)
1 stick of butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp orange extract (optional)
pinch salt (optional)
1. Leave the cheese and butter on your counter and go fold laundry
2. Holler at husband for putting butter and cheese back in the fridge. (Really, hollering is somewhat uncalled for, you forgetting to put stuff in the fridge or putting random items in the freezer is an everyday occurrence in your household.)
3. Take butter and cheese out of fridge and put BACK on counter to soften.... watch a movie
4. And now we begin.
5. Put butter, cream cheese, extracts and salt into a large mixing bowl
6. Mix until combined
7. Gradually add powdered sugar 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time, mix until incorporated
8. Taste it, add more sugar TBspn by TBspn until you get the desired sweetness
DONE - you may now frost whatevs you want
and you can keep it in the fridge for 3 or so days or freeze for a month... please note, if your stored frosting business makes you sick, ain't my fault. Use the not so common sense.
*I live in the dirty south, what do I need a coat for? Oh right, power failures during the ice storms, of course that's what the charcoal grill is for, heat and monoxide poisoning. Hallelujah!! *shiver*
