I can't find anything online to link to, but the Wendy's by where we work is giving away small Frostys when you buy a meal. It's supposed to be going on all week. If I find anything to link to, I'll revise this.

Two weeks from now, a lot of us Americans are going to be busily preparing our yearly turkey feast. I was poking around the Internet looking for new recipes to try and I came across a site with the most wonderful Thanksgiving Treats. I would love to serve this Brandy Pumpkin cake. It sounds so yummy:

It's a rich blend of pumpkin, cream cheese, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves that has been gathered together and then soaked in brandy to give this decadent dessert a spirited richness with spicy undertones. And talk about moist, you can eat an entire piece without ever having to reach for a glass of milk.

I probably can't swing one in time for the big feast this year, but I'd love to get one of these Spirited Eggnog cakes spiked with rum for Christmas.

Over at Jesser.org yesterday, Jess posted about a place called Chedd's. They make gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. At the moment they only have locations in downtown Denver and over in Littleton. If I'm ever in those areas, I may check them out. I hope they put one closer to my side of town, though, because I'm intrigued. I love grilled cheese sandwiches. Mimi's made a pretty good one that I tried for that brief stint that I worked there, but it was on the expensive side.

Melly posted an Orange Cranberry Sauce Recipe that sounds yummy. I'm tempted to give that a try for this year's Thanksgiving meal. I'm being optimistic that I will be employed soon and will have much for which to be thankful.

Marcus and I had lunch at a place I think I've written about before called The Sub Stop. It's in the Hobby Lobby shopping center at 6th and Sable here in Aurora. The woman that runs or owns (not sure which) the place is awesome. She remembers her customers—a trait that is rare these days. Hey Mike, Nina and Sarah, she asked how you guys were doing since she hadn't seen you all in awhile! How cool is that? Oh, and they make awesome sweet tea there. I usually get something with roast beef in it—a french dip or a philly sub. They really pile on the ingredients, too. Go check it out!
