Saturday Night Craving

Mmm...Peanut Butter

Various sites around the internet are taking as evidence the use of peanut butter as an ingrediant at gourmet restaurants as proof of recession. I wholey disagree. Who doesn't love peanut butter? (Aside from those people with that irrational phobia of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of their mouths...or people with peanut allergies...or people who don't really like nuts...)

Bon Appetit came up with some fabulous desserts AND THEIR RECIPES made with peanut butter.

And Cheastypants, since I know you won't be having confections like this for a few weeks more, and because I know how much you lurve when I post about food you can't have, I thought maybe you could try making these down there. Barring that, you could just look at the yummy, yummy pictures.


These are peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake swirl brownies. The recipe is here.

This Peanut Butter Honey Tart with Ganache Glaze (drool) combines three of my all-time favorite ingrediants: peanut butter, chocolate (ganache, no less) and honey. Sweet mother, I want to eat this.

Thursday Afternon Cravings

You know, I don't ALWAYS crave bacon. Ok, yes I do, but I don't ONLY crave bacon. Here are four more foods that I really, really, really love.

Proscuitto and buffalo mozzarella. With the meat wrapped around the cheese. SOOOO good.

Pillsbury toaster strudels. The strawberry kind. With the icing on top. My favorite holiday breakfast.

Sloppy Joes. Mmm...I love me some sloppy joes.

And finally, waffles with butter and maple syrup. And I mean real maple syrup, not that ridiculous fake crap.

My stomach is growling so loud right now.

Saturday evening craving

Sigh...

Happy Tummy

Yes, I know it's after sundown, and I'm being naughty for using a computer, but I wanted to share with you my marrow bones. I had posted a few days ago about how much I was craving bone marrow, so tonight, on Yom Kippur eve, I made it. SOOOO YUMMY.

First, I gave the bones an overnight water bath in the fridge, changing the water once.

Next, I laid out the bones on a foil-lined sheet and waited for the oven to reach 450.

I put parbaked sourdough rolls on another sheet to bake alongside the bones.

While the bones and bread were cooking, I sauteed in olive oil a shallot and one clove of garlic with lemon juice to spread on the bread.

This is the oil when done.

And here's the finished product. It was sooooo yummy, even though BF was too scared to try it. I admit, it's not for everyone, but right now my tummy is so happy.

Now, no more eating till tomorrow night. G-d will forgive this blog post, I'm sure.
