Dale was working today, girls sleeping; I got up and started some almond breakfast bars, for lack of a better name. These are made with very little butter, some honey, brown sugar and almond meal of course. I put dried blueberries, cherries, cranberries and raisins in them. ½ were put into the pan then I added some Belgium chocolate that I’d tried to chop but turned to mush, into the other 1/2.
The bars turned out quite good. They are not pretty but taste pretty good.
This afternoon I got a call from a friend saying that one of the people who tasted the Almond Butter Cookies wanted me to make a bunch of cookies for some meeting that she was hosting. Later I heard from the woman, a person I know mostly from other people but we do know each other as well. She is hosting an event for AAUW (University Women) for about 20 people and wants to serve my cookies at the event. She will even gather tasting notes for me.
I called Nate, I have about 2 tablespoons of almond butter and only a couple of cups of meal, hardly enough for many cookies. As it turned out Nate and Bekki would be taking Bekki’s brother to LAX tonight as he will be flying to China in the morning. Furthermore, Ryan (Bekki’s brother) needed a document located at his parents’ home north of us. Instead of his mom taking the docs down to L.A. I volunteered to go so that I could also pick up more butter and meal from Nate.
I’m home now, having driven about 2-1/2 hours, but now I can bake some cookies in the morning. I think that the Almond Butter Chocolate Chip cookies I made yesterday are not holding up well and need a couple of tweaks before testing.
For now I’ll finish up my wine and get this posted. I'm attaching a photo of the almond butter and meal, and a photo of the new bars.
