That’s me and my partner in crime, killin it at Guactacular! No, we didn’t win…but it was so fun, I could see myself doing it again.

Last night I made beer. Today I will stop drop and Guacamole. I’m too busy to tell you anything else! You can read about us here. Apparently, our picture was too horrific for them to post to the site… I guess next year we will need glamor shots. 

I have gotten some great fan mail lately - don’t worry you will get your posts soon! 

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY (My mom said our secret ingredient, which will be unleashed today, sounded disgusting. You can always count on her to be honest. We will see what the masses think).

The Birth of the Meat Cake: Your One Way Ticket To Flavor Country

The inspiration for this latest food-child comes courtesy of an earlier post, dedicated to beer bread grilled cheese. Thus, it had to be done… we whipped out our best recession style cookware (note tiny-mini iron skillet) and our portable panini presses to play with, to accompany our strategies for next week’s Guactacular (you can meet us in real life there, but please don’t be creepy about it. Oh yeah, and don’t bother talking to us if you don’t plan on voting for us).

Sooo…we installed my last bottle of homebrew for this puppy, and I will say the bread came out a bit doughy. Hence the picture of it falling apart after I cut it…but I just slapped around those slices like a tortilla and threw them in that panini press and it all worked out just the same. I will say, I don’t think the end result would have been as successful without the porto-press.The addition of honey to the batter was a grand success. Yes, I used the word grand in the non-French sense.  We also added some caramelized shallots and paprika-ed bacon. Then we ate it.

The end result was a pleasant sweet and savory treat. A word of warning, also extremely intense. One bite will probably change your heart rate and send you into a food frenzied panic. Proceed with caution.
