Food Thread: Our Long National Nightmare Has Just Begun: The Moron Cookbook Is Here![Why bacon? Why the hell not?] I got my copy yesterday, and it far exceeded my expectations! I was hoping for a fun, amateur cookbook with some clever Horde memes worked into it. But it is a thoroughly professional effort that is a pleasure to read. It is laid out well, it is humorous, some of the recipes look fantastic and the rest are fun to read and certainly worth a try, and definitely a chuckle. The net proceeds will be donated to Toys for Tots and Fisher House, both highly rated charities according to "Charity Navigator." Below the fold is a note from Bluebell and Weasel, but before you click to the rest of the post, head over to the sidebar and buy a few dozen copies of the cookbook. Or at least one...it really is a hoot. Horde, we did it! We, the Moron Horde of Ace of Spades HQ, are published authors! Congratulations, and many, many thanks to ALL OF YOU who sent in recipes. The cookbook is a wonderful sample of Moron cuisine from all over our country and even around the world. We loved reading the stories of how you all came to have these recipes, and feel honored that you shared the best of your kitchen with us. Why yes, I am a bit compulsive. Why do you ask? As avocados ripen they seem to compress and deform, so what better way to prevent that than to use a foam holder? Yes folks, it's the new, patent-pending 'Cado-CuddlerTM! Available soon from Dildo Manufacturing Corporation. By the way, that anemic and dried-out looking lime is a direct result of a conspicuous lack of tonic water. I bought the lime, gleefully skipped home, and discovered that some idiot hadn't bought fresh tonic! Speaking of which, why does it go flat so quickly? It's probably a plot, carefully orchestrated by Big Tonic. From commenter "Emmie," a video I have never seen....it's great! If you want to have a good time, head over to the See's Candy website and build yourself a box of chocolates. It's just like going to one of their stores, although you don't get a sample from the nice lady behind the counter. I used to wander over to the See's store in Berkeley every now and then, back before it was bought by Warren Buffett, and back before they took anything other than cash. The chocolates were great then, and they are great now. They are not expensive either, so it's not like buying fancy Belgian or Swiss chocolates or truffles for $50/lb. I took a short detour on Friday and miraculously ended up in the parking lot of Balthazar Bakery, one of the better bakeries in the NY metro area, and the bread source for its eponymous restaurant in lower Manhattan. Wonderful fresh breads and beautiful pastries, and an efficient and friendly staff. Great place. But...what to do with all of that bread? Another detour, this time to a local market, where I bought far too much cheese. If that is possible. Good cheese on good bread is one of those things that is always good, and last night was no exception. Hell, even a chunk of plain old cheddar on a piece of their sourdough is fantastic. Here's a Christmas cookie recipe that sounds like fun. (Annotated slightly by Bluebell) (from Southern Living Christmas Cookies cookbook) • 1 cup butter, softened Line bottom and sides of a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loafpan with waxed paper. Cream butter in a large mixing bowl; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; add to creamed mixture, beating just until blended. Divide dough into thirds. Add almond extract and 5 drops red food coloring to one portion; spread mixture evenly in prepared pan. (You’ll have to pat it in there.) Add pecans to second portion; spread mixture evenly over dough in pan. Add melted chocolate to remaining portion; spread mixture evenly over dough in pan. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Turn dough out of pan, and remove waxed paper. Cut dough in half length-wise; cut each half crosswise into 1/8-inch slices. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in airtight container. Yield: 5 dozen (although I must slice them a little thinner; I usually get at about 6 dozen). Oh hell, I completely forgot to tell you maniacs that there will be three cookbooks given away during this thread. Hopefully Weasel will explain, but in the meantime, there are three random numbers that have been chosen, and the authors of comments that correspond to those numbers will receive a free cookbook! All you have to do is supply a mailing address to Weasel, obviously off the blog, and you will get your rare, limited edition that is sure to become a much sought after classic of culinary publishing history.
