Harrod’s Holiday Trifle

For the past 5 years or so, I’ve made Trifle every Christmas. It’s a recipe I nicked out of a Harrod’s Cookbook I own. I actually now have the recipe memorized. Here’s the one I made last year in Vegas for the Fam.

It’s always a big hit. So I thought I’d share the recipe.

The Old Dirty Bastard at Voodoo Doughnut

Indianapolis is a great donut or doughnut city. It has the basics covered – Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, countless grocery store versions and batting in the clean up spot (that’s baseball terminology for my international readers) we have Long’s Bakery. Just west of downtown Indy, Long’s has been around for decades and produces the perfectly, delightfully delicious glazed donut. My mouth is watering.

However. Portland on the left coast has Indy beat. They have a place called Voodoo Doughnut.

My/Your Cannoli Flickr Group

I don’t recall the first time I had a cannoli. I do remember eating the most incredible cannoli in 1996 while in Venice. It was amazing. Since then, I’ve held a special space in my stomach for this delicate Italian dessert. I’ve enjoyed some good one’s since, but none quite compare.

So of course I took this sugar appreciation to the next level. I created a Flickr group.
