What better way to celebrate a Thursday???… well, that and playing with my Lillstreet Throwdown students in class… followed by a late night watching THE TRAITORS finale!!! So sad it’s over… but always better with OREO’s!!!

A couple of my friends talked me into trying a new app… “Too Good To Go.”
Basically an outlet for bakeries, restaurants, grocery stores & more to sell-off their “seconds” or dated foods they can’t sell off the menu any more. So my first “app purchase” was a four-pack of core-filled & frosted cupcakes from Molly’s Cupcakes. They were so yummy… that I “might have” gone back the next day on the app & purchased TWO more four-packs of the same!!!

Burp!!!

From up in the frozen tundra of Stevens Point, Wisconsin… looks like Matthew braved the elements to get some yummy treats. Turns out he found Chinese OREOs… surprisingly thin, but I’m sure tasty nonetheless! Thanks for sharing your OREO adventure… looks yummy with a glass of milk!!!

Today on the front page of the Food Section of the Chicago Tribune newspaper, my friend & former pottery student Martin Sorge is featured with his recipe for this beautiful pavlova dessert for Valentine’s Day! Huge congrats to Martin as he continues towards writing his own cookbook. And that pavlova looks AMAZING… even better when presented on a stamped pottery cake stand.

Look familiar???… it’s mine!!!

Last night in my pottery class, we had the new “Post Malone” OREOs. Tasty & caramelly… if that’s even a word?! However… as a lover of a good spiral… I will say there was never a spiral of filling to be found inside a cookie as shown on the packaging?! Maybe it was a bad batch… we might need to try another package???
