Left brain pudding
Posted by: Liz | From: February 23, 2007
The cookies were a hit!
It turned out there were green bean candies from Vietnam and some other Japanese things, so my worries about offending anyone were unfounded and lame. The next cooking challenge is a weird one. We've all been assigned body parts and have to cook something inspired by or resembling that part. Then, we'll assemble a "body" on the table by placing all the dishes in the correct anatomical positions. (Look, it could have been weirder.) So if anyone out there has a genius idea for "left brain and side of face" you just let me know.
All my whining about a vacation bore fruit! While I am not going anywhere, Krista is bringing the vacation to me and coming for a visit in a couple weeks (coinciding with J's birthday). She is also my March blog challenge giver, and she's stepping up the game by making me actually talk to people and do stuff. There will be pictures and a game element for you, too; she really worked her challenge-giving power. More on this next week after my final game is posted.
Also: happy ANTM premiere week eve! I have very low expectations for this season's girls (unlike past season's, who have skyrocketed to fame and fortune, er, VH1 commenter status). But low expectations can be the mother of giddy surprises, so I'm strapping in for the ride.
The cookies look delish!! What's in the center?
Left brain's creativity, no? What about something that has lots of different colors, all artistic like? Or something that looks like/represents the different arts?
Damn you, delicious food so far away. Damnnnn you. (You'd think I'd have gotten over this by now, wouldn't you? Don't worry, Liz, I miss you more than your baked goods.)

The center is white chocolate ganache. Yummy, but maybe not worth the effort. In the future, maybe I'd just dip a corner of the cookie in white chocolate, or drizzle some across the top.

I always thought cauliflower looked a bit brain-like. You could just make an hors d'oeuvre with raw cauliflower and a dip layered to look like half a face.
