I wanted to start a tradition of cinnamon/orange rolls for October General Conference, so I spent last week looking at different recipes, deciding at the last minute on one from King Arthur Flour. A lot of butter later, I had these to show for my work.
*Evil mad scientist cackle*
Lara and I were discussing—actually, I don't know what we discussing at the time. Maybe this idea was unconsciously inspired by the Bacon Explosion. Or the must-try bacon-wrapped date (no seriously, must try).
Maple. Bacon. Ice Cream.
You know it would be criminal not to act on that sort of inspiration when it comes [1]. After one false start [2], this is what I came up with tonight. I think it was inspired by the homemade lollipops I made with my mom as a kid.
We woke up this morning buried in snow.
I'm now just getting to work, having spent a lazy morning and lunchtime in my slippers, so Lunch Break will be a bit unconventional today. But what better way to kick off the column than to talk about, well, a great lunch?
Below is a sandwich I created today that will likely become a family staple. The three flavors and textures complemented each other perfectly; I was worried that the nutella would drown out the brie, which happily wasn't the case. While I have no doubt this particular configuration has been concocted before (nothing new under the sun, as they say), I'm pretty proud of it. (This is Elliott writing, not Lara, who doesn't have her natural knack for freestyling in the kitchen.)
