But I'm not. I skipped lunch today and just can't seem to get my head straight. So, while I'm waiting for my dinner of leftover pizza to reheat I think to myself "hey, why don't I check in on my friend Heidi's blog and see what she's been up to."
Big mistake. This is not a site you want to visit when you're hungry. Especially when you're hungry, have a terrible sweet tooth, need to be cleaning (not making baking-related messes when you have no dishwasher and parents coming), and there's no bacon in the fridge.
What? Sweet tooth and bacon?
Yes. Sweet tooth and bacon.
Heidi and her sister, Cynthia, have been coming to Open Knit most Thursdays for a few months now. While they know they don't have to bring goodies, Heidi is a wonderful baker and knows she has a highly appreciative audience.
Here's the spread they laid out for us last Thursday:
And that's not all! In addition to the scones and peaches and marmalade and rose petal jam, there were cookies. Special cookies. Bacon cookies. Peanut butter and bacon cookies, to be exact.
When I talked to my boys that evening, I told them about the cookies and they made me promise to get the recipe so they could make them as a surprise for their dad. I did accidentally let the cat out of the bag over the weekend, though, so now we have to make them or my husband will never forgive me for having a bacon cookie and not bringing it home for him instead!
I will make those cookies very soon. Then, the bacon toffee.
