A Very Boozey Thanksgiving

Booze reigned supreme this year at Thanksgiving. Attempts were made to sneak it into every recipe. That didn't quite work but here are some new classics:

Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes. Complete with "foamy" icing to imitate the head on the beer. The batter was very thin and bubbly from the stout. Baking soda made them very light and airy.


Beef Stew with Brown Ale or "Booze Stew." An adapted recipe from Bon Appetit magazine by me and John. FYI: beer makes anything delicious.
