Fancy Gourmet Dessert Cakes

BELEIVE! We all need to hang on to our beliefs and emphatically reinforce them at least once a year, so let’s do it with joy and fervor. If you really want to feel the spirit of the holidays, I have a few simple suggestions that may help.

There is an opportunity that many folks have but do not take advantage of. Late on a snowy night when all is quiet and a special twinkling light comes up off the soft, icy blanket, put on your goulashes and step outside for a moment of beauty and peace.

Many times during the holidays, we are harried and rushed to decorate and organize and keep everyone happy. Try to remember that decorations are more than superficial. They are symbols for the significance of the holiday. Stop and take a good look. A holiday Menorah or Christmas tree lights are especially useful for this.

A classic drink to help enjoy these moments is Eggnog. I have a quick refresher course for anyone who hasn’t made some in awhile.Add one egg for every cup of whole milk (1 serving).Normally 1 teaspoon of sugar is preferred per serving but sweeten to taste. A pinch of salt and/or 3 tablespoons of whisky per serving are optional. Blend it until frothy and top with nutmeg or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Another simple classic is the hot toddy made with a cup of hot brewed tea, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 shot of brandy and a squeeze of fresh lemon.

And so, after all is said and done, it is the little joys and special moments that make a life well lived.
