a charlotte thanksgiving
not a lot of pictures from this fun holiday tradition charlotte has created, but these pictures are ones that matter.
first, we have finn and monkey cake, a wonderful charlotte traditional recipe...
finn looks nothing like his dad in this picture. of course you can hear the sarcasm dripping from this writing... and yes, finn did try to eat as much of it as he could.
next, we have a new tradition to celebrate- joanie and declan. don't they make a great couple!
we had a great time with a rousing and humorous game of apples to apples, a lot of pie (chris, your pie rocked!), and an incredible amount of yummy food! sorry i haven't been able to get these up sooner!

cute kids!
okay, what the hell is traditional monkey cake??? tell charlotte to get on the burnin' blog and fill us all in.
ahh, shucks. they sure are purty aren't they. but hey, you got some purty ones yourself little lady.
i will get on charlotte for the monkey cake recipe, from what i hear it is easy peasy japanesy.
Monkey Bread is a hand-eaten, pull-apart bread, which my mother used to make savory style with italian-type suburbanized spices and loads of butter. Chris' family made it this way with lots of butter, cinnamon and sugar. Sometimes, when they didn't want to make a cake, this is what they would serve at birthdays. And everyone can pull off their own pieces. The outside ones are super ooey gooey and ultra yummy.
Monkey Bread
4 tubes Refrigerator biscuits
1 stick butter
1 1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Cut biscuits into fourths. Mix together 2/3 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon; roll each piece in mixture. Drop biscuits in greased 12-cup bundt pan. Combine remaining ingredients. Boil. pour over biscuits. bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Turn immediately out onto a plate and serve warm. Can be foil wrapped and reheated.
