(Pictured above: A new Carvel -local USA/NY ice cream chain- treat came out this year called the Gobbler. A mini ice cream blob shaped like a little turkey. They were both adorable and delicious though in the add I had been led to believe they were either coated in fudge or choco-rock (the stuff they use to coat brown bonnets). They were not, but none the less they come in boxes of four and unless you customize your order, that box will be made up of two "white meat"-vanilla- and two "dark meat"-chocolate- Gobblers. I think they also have snowmen -vanilla only- but they didn't have them at my store yet.)
Well then! Things are finally settling back into the norm after my having returned from abroad just in time to face Sandy and her winter storm (2 weeks without power). So I thought I'd hop on and wish everyone a Happy Turkey Day!
Not sure how much I'll end up sharing of my trip... I had more of an adventure right outside my own door than I did abroad (;_;) but I did take a few nice pics so I might as well post a few for those interested. Untill then however:
I MADE TURKEY CUPCAKES!
(pfffffft! okay, I used a kit designed to make monster cupcakes but never got a chance use it due to losing our power -Halloween was cancled this year >o< - So I modified it and made these dumpy turkey cupcakes. Apparently they tasted great but I think that was all the butter talking (*coughsomuchbuttercough*!!!)
Ps: SANDY SNOW
2 Hour traffic jam caused by Sandy snow! (Many a tree was downed by Sandy and even more by the snow. This one blocked the entire parkway and the only way to get around it was to go up on the shoulder through a depening mud puddle. Yes, I had my camera. No, no one got hurt by the tree, though there were countless accidents due to poor road conditions, and luckily the Help truck & unmarked white van were close because that 2 hour traffic would have ended up being close to 5 if not more.)
This wasn't even the worst of either storm.
Have a Happy, folks!
