My July DB Challenge, Part2

Okay, I feel it's not really fair to just post that I made it and froze it, because even without pictures, I did make the cake, lol.. it's not decorated since it's all sitting in the freezer in hopes to be put together no later than next week.. here's what I made.

Since I have a very strong Dislike for hazelnuts I made my Genoise with almonds, raspberry glaze and made a white chocolate cream cheese almond buttercream (Oh, yea, I did go there, lol) I have a large cake in the freezer that most likely be cut into smaller mini cakes since I don't really want to bring it to work and I'm not planning any visiting until the end of the month.. and it's just safer that way, lol... Pictures will be posted as soon as I get a camera, then I'll glaze them with the ganache and decorate with the buttercream (which is hidden way way back in the fridge where P. will not find it, lol) I have the design on paper.. I can't wait to go and act on it

Is in the freezer because my camera is officially dead.. there is no bringing it back now.. i will post as soon as I can.

Today's useless fact

Beer is made by fermentation cause by bacteria feeding on yeast cells and then defecating. In other words, it's a nice tall glass of bacteria doo-doo.

Ok, ok.. Just one more..

Chocolate not only does not promote tooth decay, it might prevent it. According to the American Dental Association, milk chocolate contains ingredients, such as calcium and phosphate, that might modify acid production in the mouth that leads to cavities. Some oils in chocolate might also prevent tooth decay. Chocolate does contain sugar, of course, but these are simple sugars that are less harmful than the complex sugars contained in other foods.

The Foodie Quiz

Alright, so I'm tired, slightly bored, have a KILLER Headache and I'm just not cooking tonight, since I knew I wasn't going to be home all weekend I didn't bother to go grocery shopping last week, we just made do with what was in the fridge (and pretty dang good with that too) I was carrying a ton of crap home tonight so stopping on the way home was out of the question too, so we stopped and grabbed a sub at the deli and shared it.. sometimes you just can' t do it.. tonight is one of those nights.. it was a long weekend to say the least.

So tonight, I leave you all with this:

The foodie quiz
I found it just by chance and it's pretty fun... here's my score:

You scored 41
You, friend, are a gastro-warrior, a culinary thrill -seeker with a palate that knows no barriers, no shame – and no frozen potato waffles and mass produced condiments.

I want you all to comment too as to what your score was.. it was pretty fun :o)

No big foodie post today.. sad to say that we went to the big feast and it was a real disappointment this year, everything was so incredibly overpriced (I mean, come on $3 for Cotton candy? It just wasn't worth it) The Sausage & pepper hero was Slammin' from what I heard.. we were smart and ate at home. It rained most of the day here, so when we got there tonight it was pretty much a washout already and a lot of vendors had already closed up. Friday night it was a total mob scene though. I'm hoping next year is better.. here's to hoping
