A Shaptowicz Year
Our first ever Oscar night party in 2006 was essentially a food gorging festival. Between my correct guessing of "Song of the Year" (that would be for "It's Hard Out There for a Pimp") and Cristin's win of the golden foiled chocolate bunny trophy, we filled up on Cristin's mom's yummy secret recipe Fiesta Twirls and Asparagus Rolls! Trying to guess the secret ingredient in the Asparagus Rolls was very hard and we didn't get even close!
This past summer, be apparently invented Third Desserts when he served Shaptowicz not one, not two, but THREE desserts after dinner at our house! Sadly, i missed the first two but "Third Desserts" is now part of the regularly used vocabulary here.
In the Fall, be and i were treated to two different kinds of Tim Tam cookies from Australia during Shaptowicz & Kim's high school reunion! They were really good chocolately covered cookies, filled with either latte or raspberry filling. The hardest part of eating them (besides the resultant empty bag) was correctly doing the "Tim Tam Slam" whereby you bite off each end of the cookie and slurp coffee through it like a straw, melting the filling and softening the cookie. Apparently we can buy Tim Tams renamed as "Arnott's Biscuits" at World Market in the States, but it doesn't seem like they carry all the flavors.
During our last two Shaptowicz visits, we ran out of time to sit down and make some Ro*Tel and Pepper Jack Velveeta. Shaptowicz swears by the deliciousness of this cheesy, tomatoey concoction - plus we have mega amounts of tortilla chips waiting! be and i have been really into good tortilla chips recently, namely from Garden of Eatin, so we can't wait to dip them into some Ro*Tel.
Lastly, the Pear Vanilla Ginger jam Shaptowicz left here is patiently awaiting with some brie cheese and crackers for the next Shaptowicz visit - hopefully this month!
