Nibbles of Tidbits, a Food Blog

Since I’ve been writing about the OC Fair, I have to show the animals.  We won’t talk about this blog and its relation to some of them.  Let’s just admire the animals for their uniqueness and creation.

Centennial Farm has animals year round.  After the Fair moves to the next town, you can still see some of them.

To me, it’s best described as subtly intense — It’s different and impressive.  I love Lindt’s progressive Chocolate flavors.  They’re fun to try.

Bridgford Ready-Dough — Thawed, set aside to rise, then dipped in melted Butter and rolled in Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and chopped Pecans.  It’s was baked at 375° for 30 minutes, then turned upside-down onto a plate.

I wish I could say this tasted as good as it looks, but it was a little dry — Next time I may set it aside to rise again and cook it for less time.

FYI:  The Post Title was inspired by a Robbie William’s Song – Me and My Monkey.  I used to have it linked here, but its origin was unfortunately removed.  Robbie Williams is so under-played in the USA.  I love his music.

Fortunately I have no witness, nor pictures of the following cooking blunders which happened some time ago.  It’s embarrassing to admit, but you can hopefully learn by my mistakes, if you don’t know already.

* After making a nice Hollandaise Sauce from scratch, NEVER put it in the microwave to warm it up.  It basically turns into an egg.

* After making a nice Alfredo Sauce from scratch, NEVER bake it in the oven with pasta.  It basically turns into oil.  The sauce separates.

These things seem obvious to me now, but I didn’t know when I once tried them.  It’s funny now.
