Happy Thanksgiving!!!! This year Lauri, Davis and I spent Thanksgiving together and we had no visitors. It was a little sad not having any other family to share the holiday with but we still made a giant meal which took all day, then stuffed ourselves and then sat moaning in agony until it was time for bed. Well ... I did all of those things anyway.
I also made Ray Ray's famous dressing recipe. Word to the wise ... if Ray Ray ever gives you a written recipe to follow ... ignore it! I diligently followed the recipe and mine was more like dressing soup. I later learned that although the written recipe calls for 4 to 5 cans of chicken broth ... you should really only use about 3. Hmmmm.

Speaking of recipes, Davis created his own Thanksgiving dessert recipe. Last weekend, I was telling Davis about the cake that I had ordered for Thanksgiving dinner. He said, "that sounds good daddy but do you know what would be really good?" He then spouted out the following dessert recipe. So we made that also. What follows is an illustrated version of Davis' Thanksgiving dessert recipe ...
Step 1:
Charge your camera battery.
Step 2:
Make vanilla pudding. Davis and I made vanilla pudding the night before Thanksgiving so that we could save some time. I was going to take a picture of Davis making the pudding but my camera battery had died. That is the reason for Step 1.
Step 3:
Take some milk chocolate chips and crush the bejesus out of them with a metal hammer.
Step 4:
After you have crushed the chocolate chips, raise your hammer in victory and taunt the crushed chips mercilessly. (Please note that this step is optional)
Step 5:
Pour the sad and defeated crushed chocolate chips into the vanilla pudding.
Step 6:
Stir like you have never stirred before.
Step 7:
Place pudding mixture on a lovely holiday plate. But do not eat yet ... there are still 15 more steps!
Step 8:
Add chocolate sauce.
Step 9:
Top with whipped cream and a cherry!
The finished product should look something like this ...
Step 10:
Enjoy!
Well there you have it ... pudding a la Davis. Hope you enjoy it. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Hey ... I just wrote an entire post without one mention of Star Wars (except for this reference)!
May the force be with you! (and this reference)
Love,
Chris, Lauri and Davis
