Deliciousness ensues.

Well, I’m trying to cook up some other kind of masterpiece, and here is my attempt at Easter dinner.

I’ve been trying to write this for a while, and I’ve been given more reason to now.  A few weeks ago, Amy had picked us up some of the Wazoo Sauce (good inside a burger) and  the near and dear to my heart, Bacon Brittle; a delightful concoction of smokey bacon in a sweet morsel of caramel colored amazingness.

Up until this afternoon, I could only rave about the Bacon Brittle that comes from Dr. Gonzo’s Emporium, located at 120 Main St. in Worcester, MA.  On a normal day like today, I’d be at work, constructing castles for the McMansionists of the area… but today I dropped off a computer monitor at Dr. Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiments Emporium.

I came to realize how special this place really is.  So when I got inside, Dr. Gonzo himself allowed me to test out his world famous Mastodon Jerky.  Claiming it came from a frozen Mastodon found enslaved in ice somewhere near Siberia, I was already intrigued.  It had a mellow, long lasting spice to which made me buy a few more pieces for the road.  With a little more tasting, from various reaches of the Gonzo-verse…I tried out the  Scotch Bonnet Stew, to which I got the intel on how it was actually created:

Scotch Bonnet Stew is a hot pepper relish that should not be trifled with. This mash is specially brewed for us by a clan of Single Malt sipping Scottish crossdressing Highlanders, wearing nothing but kilts and Easter bonnets (now there’s a visual that’s going to be hard to shake). Do not let the initial burst of flavor and patent pending 45 second heat delay lull you into a false sense of security, this condiment will take you for a ride. Great to cook with or straight from the jar. Enjoy but be careful, the “Good Doctor”

As advertised, quite good.  A few other tastings aside, I assure you, you want to try some of this stuff out, this gives cheese and crackers a whole new kick.  Check out his store, either online, or in person. You might even try the gummi bites (something I also bought) covered in cayenne pepper. Sounds weird, but its awfully tasty.

Dr. Gonzo has also created a Viral movie short, based on the failed creations of the ‘peppermash’…  it’s worth a watch.

Mixing foods can be quite treacherous, finding the right mash up between two things, that won’t contrast too much in flavor, but will make for an amazing food, or possibly just a good portmanteau. Seeing as I got out of work early today, and my friendship with the child in me, I tested today, a wonderful concoction, that was quite interesting.

So for my new absurd mash up, I attempted a peanut butter and fluffernutter french toast sandwich.  Not exactly the benchmark for a healthy diet, but once you get past that, I’ll show you how I made it.

First start with 2 slices of bread, one egg, milk, cinnamon, and a mixing container.

Crack the egg into the container, put a tablespoon of milk in, and dust that sucker with as much cinnamon as you want.  Should look similar to this:

whisk it with a fork

Heat up a frying pan, make sure to spray some oil on it, I use olive oil spray, it’s got a flavor, and it’s heart healthy, and with meals like this, you might as well, right?

Lay the bread into the egg milk cinnamon batter, then into your warm and toasty frying pan.  For use of testing, I only french toast battered one side of my bread, of course you are certainly free to batter the two sided bread slice any way you’d like.

Toast the side until it is golden brown, then brown the other side.  Looks tasty doesn’t it?

Repeat the steps for another slice of bread, and lie it on a plate for the final steps!

Knife some peanut butter on a slice, and marshmallow fluff on a slice.

Put the sandwich together and eat that tasty strangeness.  Nothing like warm peanut butter and fluff.

Feel free to dunk each piece in syrup for extra sugary sensations.

Enjoy.
