Giving Thanks Dessert Auction

Last night, a giving thanks dessert auction was held to benefit the local farmers market. Pat bought the ingredients for our contributions, and Claire pastry cheffed away the day, leaving the kitchen a disaster while producing some fantabulous edibles.

Claire's gorgeous chocolate, coffee and butter
cream javanaise was the talk of the auction.

Claire married a javanaise with two lemon
curd tarts topped with berries.

'twas lots to bid on, which is why we came
home with a pumpkin pie, a strawberry and
rhubarb pie, and a chocolate and almond
tort. We had pie for breakfast, lunch and
dinner today. Life is rough.

Bidders bidding. Thanks, everyone. We
raised more than a piddling.
