An Attempt Like None Other

I’ve long been wanting to write about my friend Amelia’s blog, Bon Appetempt , but have been waiting for the perfect moment. Well it occurred last night, when Amelia and her husband/cohort Matt arrived for dinner at my house with a plate full of

gold…dusted…organic…twinkies.

Casually tackling often absurd recipes like these here “Goldies” exemplifies the spirit of Amelia’s project. They were delicious, by the way. Dark ganache and chocolate cake pumped full of vanilla buttercream. Oh and coated in gold dust.

And while we’re on the topic of gold, we paired the fancy twinkies with some liquid gold, my favorite grappa of the moment, Marolo Grappa & Chamomile.

Great taste and a beautiful label…
