What are you snacking on?

[Trenchfriend]

One Golden Delicious-apple.

You might have noticed that super girlfriend has a new toy:



The first result was this insanely good thing:

Kranzkuchen (Almond Cream Wreath)



Today produced this

Gugelhuph (which I've always known as a kugglehoff, which I assume is just a spelling issue from the Old World to the New)


And a peak inside

Yeah, that's our german food-porn.

Yeah, that's our german food-porn.

I was surprised when you didn't comment on the Kranzkuchen (Almond Cream Wreath) post a couple weeks back. It was fantastic.

And because SGF was in full-on baking mode, she pumped these cinnamon buns out today - with cream cheese frosting (with a hint of lemon zest in the icing).

Being iced:

Warm homemade chocolate chip oatmeal cookies

 

[Fading Fast]

Super girlfriend baked up a batch of these bittersweet chocolate chip cookies with orange zest and Maldon Sea Salt on top (as can be seen). The orange-bittersweet chocolate combo is outstanding with the salt hit kicking it all up a notch.

I put this under the "What Are You Snacking On" thread, but here's the truth: She made them early today and I have had them for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and now again as a mid-afternoon snack. So, today, My entire diet has been a glass of milk, a can of soda, an Arnold Palmer Half and Half and, probably, a dozen cookies - that's it, nothing else.

Some days, you got to say, WTF.

SGF - who has been in all-day baking and cooking mode - knocked this chocolate cake with mocha buttercream frosting out for a friend's dad (who, really, has become our friend too - great guy and is such a nice dad to all of us):



I sampled the left over icing - purely for scientific reasons - and it is outstanding. Since the cake is a gift, we won't get a peak inside.

Just like Sgt Terry Jeffords on Brooklyn Nine-Nine - yogurt.

Mister C LOOOOOVES yogurt...

 

[Fading Fast]

Let's just get this over with early. I will be snacking on these all day today:

 

[Fading Fast]

⇧ Day two or working through the jar-o-cookies, it's now half full.

 

[Fading Fast]

With ⇧ the chocolate chips almost all gone, SGF baked these ⇩ rainbow sprinkle sugar cookies up this morning for the Fading Fast's snacking pleasure.

 

[Fading Fast]

SGF went into full-on baking mode yesterday and today and produced these snacks:

Chocolate Mint Brownies - they're dark chocolate and not overly sweet, so they have a very rich chocolate taste with a nice pop of mint.



Apricot and Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies - nice butter cookie with the fruit adding a kick, also, the powdered sugar adds a nice texture element (we tried them first without the powdered sugar, but decided it was a good add).

 

[Fading Fast]

After having this German Black Forest Cherry Cake (Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte) for desert last night, it will now become a snacking option for the next few days.



And cross posted from he dessert thread, my small kirsch story:

N.B., I had to buy Kirsch cherry brandy (see below) for the recipe and, while I knew I was buying brandy, for some reason I was thinking it would be a liqueur - which I should have been disabused of when I paid 44 bucks for the bottle. As super girlfriend was baking, I decided to try the Kirsch and poured a good-sized shot for myself - again thinking "liqueur" and that it would be sweet and not that "boozy." Well, I won't make that mistake again. It's a 90 proof brandy, not sweet at all and it took a layer of my throat off on the way down in one long burn.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Milk-chocolate and almond-chocolate.

 

[Bushman]

Kit-Kat candy bars.
