This week’s Thread is bleak, at best. Sorry, folks 🙁 But I am soooo enjoying our vacay and indulging in doing next to nothing {reading, sleeping, eating, a smidge of work, repeat}. Today’s agenda just happens to include a morning full of awesomeness — couples massage followed by a facial and yummy lunch — my Christmas present from the hubs! I will return next week with a brand new Thread for the New Year, full of goodies, but here are a few tidbits to tide you over 🙂 Enjoy your day; I am off to get pampered!
Remember last week when I mentioned this monkey bread? Well it was an epic fail, a) because I didn’t read through it to find out that it would take close to 3 hours for prep+cook time, and b) because the bourbon glaze was a flop {egg yolks turned into a scrambled mess instead of a creamy base}. So, I improvised and made this recipe {yummo!} instead — way easier, making up my own glaze concoction {which totally rocked, if I do say so myself!}. Glaze: 1 cup heavy cream + 1 cup milk + 2 cups powdered sugar + 1 tsp vanilla + 2 tbs bourbon. Heat cream and milk until simmering, gradually add sugar, then add vanilla and bourbon. Cook until thick {consistency of syrup}. Photos to come soon!
Have you seen this little bit of pure genius?! Love it!
Hubs got me this and this for Christmas and I cannot wait to read them. Do you have any good read recommendations?
Have you seen this blog yet? I am kind of obsessed.
This would have been such a killer gift for Troy! Is it too late??
Best groomsmen gift ever.
I HAVE to do something with foil stamping. Like, now. Swoon…
Wow woman! I’m not easily impressed and you wow me. You are so talented! I’m so happy to have met you. Your personality definitely comes out in your photos! Love it!
