This year was my first year not having Thanksgiving with family. I was invited to have Thanksgiving dinner with the family of my best friend's fiancee in Long Island. It was my first "Italian" Thanksgiving too - complete with a pasta dish!! The food was amazing - so many things to choose from I didnt know what to do. We had some appetizers, a before dinner drink (Brandy Alexander VERY YUMMY, see pic) then a pasta course of meat tortellini and red sauce. After that there was turkey, sweet potatoes, turnips, asparagus, mashed potatoes, gravy, etc etc. Then there was dessert! Several things for dessert and I brought along my cranberry cake. I also brought the famous Hot Buttered Rum that has become a holiday favorite for me which everyone liked to call Hottie Totties. I have posted the recipe below! It is ridiculously fattening and absolutely fabulous.
1 pound butter
1 pound brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 pound powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 quart vanilla ice cream
mix butter, brown sugar, and spices. Whip in ice cream. Whip in powdered sugar. Add hot water and one shot of rum to a tablespoon of the mixture.
