Cake and Bacon

Yes that's right, not 'cake and baking' but 'cake and bacon'.

With some of the changes they've made at his work lately there hasn't been much in the way of speciality food items for Bronze to bring home.

Until today.

You see, yesterday they had a dessert and bacon tasting day for all of the sales reps. What a combo huh! Since Bronze has become buddies with Lan, the one in charge of getting rid of all the extra food, and I occasionally send him goodies we get a lot of left overs that normally would get thrown away. I am amazed at what they throw away, they only want the best and freshest food to serve potential clients and freezer space in town is limited so anything that doesn't get use immediately gets thrown out.

This is one of the things that Lan set aside for me today-

There are 2 different kinds and I don't even know what is in them but it's heavenly. This is one of those things that you'd pay $6 or more for at a restaurant.

In addition to cake Lan sent home a tray of cookies for the kiddos, a brand new/unopened box of frozen sweet potato fries (and remember this is industrial size), frozen cookie dough and of course a couple packages of frozen, uncooked bacon!

Thank you Lan!

Since we were unaware Bronze would be coming home with goodies today we actually did a little baking of our own.

The last time I mixed up a batch of cookie dough I put some aside for the kids to shape and bake when time allowed.

Here is my smashing, squishing, drop it on the floor a couple times Einstein taste tester. Any time I would try to grab her cookie shapes to put on the baking sheet she would get upset and say I broke her dough. Sooo she basically had the same small chunk the entire time.

This, on the other hand, is my serious baker. To him, getting everything cut out just right and transferred to the baking sheet was an important job he had to get accomplished.

The finished product, besides taking them in and out of the oven he did them all by himself. He was pretty proud of them.
