Honey toast boxes – Who needs sliced bread?
No really. Who needs sliced bread when you can have unsliced bread boxes instead.
I originally found this via Crustabakes and this is how she described the “honey toasts” that are so popular as Asian desserts:
Basically, the interior of the bread is removed via a slit made at the bottom of the loaf. They are then buttered and given a light toasting before they are replaced back in the bread boxes with a drizzle of honey. They are usually topped with ice cream and (you) can imagine how wonderful it is when the ice cream melts and soaks up the underlying bread pieces.
That sounds even better than it looked, huh? And she made hers with rum pastry cream instead of the ice cream, so I’m sure it was quite delicious regardless.
It really made me want to know more about the bread boxes, though.
And googling that was obviously a mistake. Sooo many drool-worthy pictures.
Check out this one from Happy Homebaking:
Or these from Secret Eden:
So apparently you can fry watermelon…
I was having the discussion the other day about whether or not you could barbecue watermelon. Logically, it seems like something that is 92% water would essentially melt on a grill.
I was wrong.
Not only is grilled watermelon apparently fantastic, but they also deep-fried the same liquid-laden food without any issues.
I suppose that if they can deep fry whole butter sticks and Kool-Aid as fair food, then why not watermelon, too?
In fact, it almost seems way too healthy, hmm… Must be the dieter’s carnival food instead.
Fun Olympic foods – Work what ya holiday gave ya
The great thing about the Olympic rings is that there are tons of round foods to work with. Doughnuts, cupcakes, any food arranged in ring-shapes (think cucumbers or olives…not everything has to be color-specific even), plates, candies (lifesavers!)….don’t limit yourself!
And while the Olympic rings are iconic, of course, so is the torch, so don’t forget some ice cream cone fun, too:
And a cookie medal!
