Happy Beaujolais Nouveau Day!!

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:22:26 -0500

“Many wine critics criticize the wines marketed as Beaujolais Nouveau as simple or immature. Wine critic Karen MacNeil has compared drinking Beaujolais Nouveau to eating cookie dough.”

that’s not the argument to use when trying to deter me from something, Karen.

“Silent Football is a group game composed of three major elements: Football, the Quiet Game, and Parliamentary procedure.”

- From the rules of ”Silent Football.”

I am currently reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and am feeling quite Victorian, so I’ve been researching old parlour games to introduce into my social circle. So far they are all terrible (and therefore fantastic?) including Are You There, Moriarty? and SnapDragon, which would surely result in burning down my home.

My Halloween-time favorite (I also made them election day last year, and they were very lucky.)

PUMPKIN CUPCAKES w/ CREAM CHEESE ICING

CUPCAKES:

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp salt
½ cup vegetable oil
1¼ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup canned pure pumpkin

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

3 cups powdered sugar
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
4 Tbs butter, softened
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan (or a 24 cup mini muffin pan) with baking cups.

2 In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Set aside.

3 In a separate bowl, stir oil and sugar together. Whisk in eggs, and stir in vanilla extract.

4 Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir pumpkin into the batter until it is thoroughly combined.

5 Spoon batter into lined muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Less time will be needed if you are making mini-cupcakes. When cupcakes are removed from oven, let them sit for about 10 minutes, then remove them to cool completely on a wire rack.

6 Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together frosting ingredients until smooth.
