Grand Marnier Cake

While living in Istanbul and watching BBC television, I learned about true cooking.  I don't know if I had ever talked about my mother's cooking.  To quickly recap: it was horrible and I believe that she enjoyed torturing us.  This would include her sibling and their children as well. Which is the reason why as of today, moving forward in my life, I decided to learn how to cook the right way.  For all our survive. Now I know that some of us are not baking masters however we would contribute something to the Thanksgiving or the Christmas dinner dessert table. So here is another simple recipe for you.

But okay, okay reality is now starting to stink in for some of us who start planning for the Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner, Christmas vacation, etc.  I am already planning my holiday liquor in Milwaukee with Asia and Sam.  I would start practicing now but I need to focus on school.

Okay, so I got a few dates to bring to the surface for November before Thanksgiving Day. So November 1st is also National Calzone Da
