I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

GC, we're not trying yet, but I have in increased risk of having a child with spina bifida. So, I really need to be on it in case there is an oops with the birth control.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Major cutiehead Evan, and Auntie Ali's looking good too!

For serious! Casper is my OTK!
Calli, here you go:
1 1/2 cup walnuts, finely ground(I use raw cashew bits instead and I like them much better)
10 pitted dates
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 vanilla (I use a splash more)
2 tsp water
Mix ingredients in a food processor, adding the liquid last. Mold and chill.
I add a half handful of crystallized ginger, which makes me very happy.
There are SO many variations possible. I did one with almonds that tasted good but was a bit too gritty.
It IS a healthy recipe and a diabetic friend, who really enjoyed the treat, pointed out that the ingredients are very similar to a Lara bar.
I find having just a wee sliver really, really satisfying. Plus, including the time it takes to get stuff out of the cupboard, prep time is roughly 3 minutes! A great recipe to have in the event of unexpected guests. And, you can make interesting shapes with it...your very own tasty, healthy cakewreck.
I generally make a half recipe

Thanks, bonny fides. That looks delicious. And I think I can get all of the ingredients at the local hippie grocery's bulk bins, which makes me happy for reasons I don't fully understand, but I'll take joy where I can get it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
in ridiculously bad for you food news I just noticed that the packet that came with my Popeyes bicuit said "honey sauce ". Sauce? I thought, what do you put in honey sauce? So I peeked at the ingredients. HMOG you put every different type of sugar you can think of. What is wrong with you Popeyes? Why can't you just put honey in a packet? One ingredient, bam! you're done. And it never spoils. Sheesh to the nth degree.

What is wrong with you Popeyes?
It's Southern? I mean, why have a biscuit when you can have it slathered with gravy and sausage or why have a plain waffle when you can have it with fried chicken and more gravy.
Excess, thy name is Southern cooking.
