Hot layers of hell

The final chocolate layers are applied to the 7 layer cookies. The shape and form of the cookie slab reminds me of slab bacon. Mayhaps I will attempt a red, white, and pink version that is maple and smoke flavored. With white chocolate.

Sliced into pieces for holiday visitor parting gifts. These are tasty. Almond flavored layers with apricot filling, sandwiched between dark chocolate. These would be even better if the recipe made any sense to humans. Seriously, that recipe writer needs to die a painful death and rot in hell without bacon.

Leftover meat cake potato frosting get recycled into thrice baked potatoes. It's once more delicious-er than twice baked potatoes.

United colors of bacon

Tonight, I'm attempting to make insanely complicated 7 layer almond apricot cookie recipe. So far so good. Rather than the traditional red, white, and green Italian flag colors normally present in 7 layer cookies, I go for blue, white, and orange. Because those are the colors of Davy World. 

My conclusion is that the cookie itself isn't very hard to make. Some assembly is required, but it's all very straight forward. The main issue here is that the recipe is very poorly written, so you're always lost if you try to follow it exactly. It's not a crazy complicated cookie. It's a stupid recipe writer.

Mmmm... bacon. Bacon is the official food of Davy World. There would be no tax on bacon in Davy World. Because I am a kind and benevolent ruler. At least initially.

Mmm.... saving bacon grease. Bacon grease is delicious. 

Variety pack

The Trader Joe's has new fruits to try. This week, we have golden plums, black apricots, and angelcots. Apparently, angelcots are only grown on a 2 acre farm somewhere nearby. Because they're are so juicy, these "saintly" angelcots practically melt at the slightest touch. They are incredibly hard to ship long distances, which probably limits the chances of the rest of you trying some of these. You'll just have to come visit when they're in season next year. I have no idea how the local Joe's got a hold of these. Black apricots are a cross between red plums and yellow apricots. Them sure is sweet. I have no idea how the local Joe's got these also. So this trip was a good score fruit-wise.

In a related note, Food4Less has new varieties of Doritos on special. Food snob I am not. I like to eat junk too. Now if only Frito-Lay would develop angelcot and black apricot Doritos... How awesome would that be?

Foot in mouth

While in the area, I drop by Hannah's for a visit. Her shoe collection is very pink. I'm a bit jealous as I do not own any pink shoes.

Awesome booth upholstery at the Apricot Tree Restaurant.

Corn beef hash, eggs over easy, hash browns, and their signature apricot muffin. Breakfast was um.... well, the vintage lunchboxes hanging from the ceilings are nice.
