| Thanksgiving may be the most anticipated family meal of the year. Much preparation and planning is required to avoid last-minute chaos, but you're ready, right? You've researched every detail necessary for flawlessly hosting your out-of-town cousin, his wife, and their two kids. Nothing could go wrong, after all, this is what the holidays are about: Family, Friends, and Food. But, did you prepare for the other important "F" word of the season? I'm talking about Football.
Holiday Scenario Week Two:
That One Time I Hosted Opposing Team Fanatic Family Members?
I hadn't seen my cousin and his family in years. Unexpectedly, they showed up decked out in full blue and silver gear. This is a maroon and gold house. Things were about to get interesting.
We made it through the third quarter with only friendly banter. I felt confident that this would stay a friendly game and that it was safe to head to the kitchen and finish up our meal. Then, it happened. I can't even tell you what happened, but it resulted in loud hollering and me suddenly dropping the Thanksgiving cheesecake flat on the floor. I just stood there and looked at it in disbelief.
My Solution to Impending Chaos?
I took a deep breath, poured myself a glass of Cowhorn Syrah, and quickly brainstormed a solution. I retrieved the cheesecake from the kitchen floor and scraped off a thin top layer. I sprinkled it with sugar and torched it. It must have been inspired through the power of Syrah, but suddenly, Crème brûlée cheesecake sounded like a great dessert. Plus, no one could see the disaster scrape job I had to perform on this poor cheesecake through the torched golden-sugar top. My family thought I made the Crème brûlée cheesecake intentionally. It was brilliant. And delicious. I served it with the Syrah because it was the inspiration after all, and everyone loved it.
