Tour de Cookie

January 30, 2011 9am University of Arizona Mall

"Participants will race/ride between 8 cookie-stands (hosted by local clubs and organizations) and purchase/eat as many pastries as possible."

I found out about this a little too late and my bike has a flat tire. Rest assured, if there is a 4th Annual Tour de Cookie, I will be there. Part of the proceeds will fund the Tucson Kids' Try-athlon:

Sweet Revenge

Hey, all my New York friends out there, there's a place in the village called Sweet Revenge that pairs cupcakes with beer. Please go there and have a drink and/or sweet for me.

Today's Treat: Leftovers!

All week I've been making turkey sandwiches, this time I threw in the stuffing and cranberries as well.

Another Great Groupon!

Hey Tucson folks, today at Groupon get 50% at Sur Real. Sur Real is a great Latin American resturant perched up in the foothills. (Sur Real took over the old Soleil location, the city views are amazing!) Sur Real has some of the best crab cakes I've ever had, and an enormous drink menu. This Groupon is also a chance to eat at a fancy-smancy resturant at an affordable price.

If you want to take advantage of the Groupon, use my personal link and I just might bake you something!

FancyFastFood.com

The subtitle says it all: A food humor blog. I can't imagine making any of these dishes at home, but I appreciate the creativity. Here's the Long John Ceviche:

30 Sec Meals?

I know Rachel Ray is all about making things easier for us simpletons, but this is a little ridiculous...

Happy Sandwich Day!

Today is the birthday of John Montagu, The Earl of Sandwich. As most might know, it was he who "invented" what we know as the sandwich. The Earl was in the middle of an important card game and requested that his meal be served to him between two slices of bread. This enabled him to eat it one-handed. (Although most foodies would agree, the really good sandwiches require both hands.)


I celebrated today by enjoying one of my favorite sandwiches from one of my favorite local coffee shops. The Turkey-Pesto from Chocolate Iguana. Turkey, swiss, and red peppers on a warm baguette smeared with a healthy portion of yummy pesto sauce. The nice folks at Chocolate Iguana also throw in a handful of red pepper tortilla chips, helpful for any pesto that might drip out.
