I am having friends over for dinner tomorrow and I'm going to try to make a Galette des roi. I've made Franipane before, and I'm using store-bought puff pastry, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

No king cake till Jan 6!
Hey I get (real) king cake when I can.

I would take all the king cake I could have, but it's not a thing around here. Also, I'd have to buy a whole one, and then I'd EAT it. (I still remember when one of my coworkers had a trip to New Orleans or Baton Rouge for work, and came back with a king cake! We all traveled so much we didn't usually do that sort of thing, but it was awesome)

Yep, I checked with the Internet before posting:

I'd have had zero idea otherwise.

I don't think I've ever had king cake, certainly not real king cake. Seems like a serious omission.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's not a real king cake unless it has olive spread, though so...

Note: In my world, real king cake is what Sue is making, i.e., galette des rois with tasty frangipane filling.
New Orleans king cake is a different beast altogether.
I guess if one bakes they are both easy. I do not bake--if god had wanted me to bake, he wouldn't have created bakeries.
