Geaux Saints!!
I also wanted to redeem my self for the color mix-up of last week. So I went to Hobby Lobby and bought some GOLD icing. Ohhh it’s sparkly too…
Now I’m not a big fan of graham crackers (I more of a shortbread kinda girl) but these things were tasty. Almost like thin shortbread cookies with a hint of cinnamon.
Delicious.
So....
So tomorrow is the big NFC Championship Game (January 24, 2010): New Orleans Saints vs Minnesota Vikings in the Superdome at 5:40 pm central time.
I hope the Saints win.
I pray that the Saints win.
I don’t want to be unsportsmanlike, but I want Brett Favre to get sacked 10 tens and throw 5 interceptions. I want the Vikings to lose, lose, lose.
Here is the Saints latest fight song: Stand Up and Get Crunk. It sure does get the blood pumping.
Geaux Saints!
Who Dat!
One more win and we are off to Miami.
Please, please, please, please…
Update:
Yahoooooo.....
We're going to the SUPER BOWL!!!!!
Saints: 31, Vikings: 28
Graham Crackers
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey. Mix on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute.
In two additions, add the dry ingredients, letting the first fully incorporate before you add the second.
Divide the dough in half. Place the first half between two sheets of parchment paper, and roll into a rectangular shape about 1/8 or 1/4" thick. Roll out the second half of dough between two additional sheets of parchment paper. Refrigerate the dough sheets for about 15 minutes until stiff. Note: The dough is much easier to cut if it is very cold and stiff.
Remove the dough sheets from the refrigerator and peel off the top sheet of parchment paper. Cut the graham cracker dough into the desired shape.
Using a fork, prick the top of the dough in several places.
In a preheated 350 degree F oven, bake the crackers for 12-15 minutes or until then are golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
