Pat’s Thanksgiving
Desert
As I stated in my first
blog, Thanksgiving dinner is a very happy time of year for me, and we also make
special foods that you might not find in the normal household. Believe it or
not, I have my own recipe that I make for desert. My famous desert is my famous
chocolate covered strawberries. This might not sound like much, but for someone
as Cooking challenged as I am, I take pride in making it. This is a process
that I have to start the night before, so I can let the chocolate get hard and
freeze around the strawberry. However, I start by getting a lot of strawberries
on a plate and put a lot of chocolate fudge in a bowl. It is pretty self
explanatory, but then you dip the strawberries in the fudge and then put the
strawberry back on the plate. Sometimes, I also dip the strawberries in
sprinkles, and I enjoy this better. After you put them in the fried over night,
you have chocolate covered strawberries, and they are very cold and I like this
a lot. I make them for thanksgiving desert, but you are lucky if they make it
to 2 o’clock. The strawberries are a fan favorite in my household. So many
people come to my house for Thanksgiving, so you can tell that they go by very
fast. Instead of using fudge, sometimes I get Hershey chocolate bars and melt
the chocolate, and that also gives it a different taste. To melt the chocolate,
I put the chocolate over the stove and put a little water in the bowl. This
gives the chocolate a liquidly texture. Even though it does not sound like
much, I take pride in my strawberries. They take a lot of care, and a lot of
people like to eat them in my household, so I have to make them well to avoid
angry Thanksgiving family members. McLoughlin P
