Cook the Book: 'Fat'
Schmaltz and gribbins. Basically chicken skin and a little onion slowly rendered to tasty goodness. Strain the fat (the schmaltz) and chill for a tasty little spread for toast and eat the now golden deliciousness that is crisped chicken skin (the gribbins). This little concoction clogged the arteries of many a Jewish man. We miss you grandpa.

Dim sum sampling and steamed pork buns.
Best lunch kits (for grown-ups)
I wasn't aware of the Mr. Bento before and doing a quick search found on the manufacturer's website what looks to be a smaller version of the Mr. Bento as well as a Ms. Bento and a Mini Bento. Assuming that you had no other issues aside from sizing these other options may be options.

Nostalgia Via King Arthur Flour's Monkey Bread Mix
"Butter, sugar, and sweet dough: you can't get better than this." Actually, you may be able to. My mom's made monkey bread for years but just this past weekend I was introduced to monkey's bread yummy older brother, Gorilla Bread. Basically it's your standard monkey bread but inside of each bit of dough was wrapped around a gooey little chunk of cream cheese. After a simple web search I see that some people are skipping the regular cream cheese and using Philadelphia's ready-made cheesecake filling. Talk about calorie overload!!!

This season I'll be growing some tomatoes from the seeds I smuggled back from Italy with some heirloom seeds my mom sent me. I'll also be growing some peppers (bell, jalapeno and serrano) and of course the requisite herbs: basil, thyme, rosemary and mint. I can't wait!!

Hello - check this out

Savory plus 2 sweet styles, in a bag. Less expensive than going through Williams Sonoma. Plus you can call King Arthur anytime and a professional will help you through whatever issue you are having. They are a wonderful company in Vermont, it's worth the trip for the serious baker.
We have a savory bread here called "Pork Bread" made with bacon, ham and onions from the local Polish bakery.
Bacon makes anything better...

You can do a savory version with butter (or oil) and dried herbs or a seasoning mix of your choice. Powdered cheese is also nice. Or, you can tuck a little nugget of cheese inside each doughball with the spices on the outside.

What do you mean pick the pieces off? How about just shove the whole thing in your mouth? Sheez - amateurs, the lot of yaz.

I use the Cinna-Bon cinnamon rolls from a can, quartered, rolled, and with a brown sugar and butter mixture poured over it, then baked. It's sooo delicious!! It's called monkey bread because you pick it off to eat it like monkey's pick the little bugs off each other... of course it doesn't sound that great in writing... lmao!

@JerBear: I think it would take a very strong stomach to tolerate that amount of fat and sugar in a large dose–though you can't deny how unbelievably luscious that sounds. I'm imagining tiny danishes.

"biscuits from a can, quartered, dipped, and baked" -nightowl
That's how I make it. Not as good as from scratch, but it's so easy it can be done on a weekday morning!

Monkey bread? This is a new one for me. Why is it called Monkey bread?

I'd never heard of Monkey Bread until I got married. His mom makes the Pillsbury version except they call it "pull-a-parts". It's an often requested birthday breakfast item in their family.

Monkey bread monkey bread monkey bread ooooooooh.
Oh. My. Goodness. I haven't had this in at least 4 years. I used to make this with biscuits from a can, quartered, dipped, and baked. And it was amazing. I'll definitely have to try this recipe, once I come up with the time.
And hmm, how about being brought breakfast in bed: monkey bread in a bacon bowl? Could it be done? I think if you lined ramekins with a bacon bowl, then added the little balls of dough, at the end of the baking process you could turn out the result and place it on a plate.

I do not have a fat phobia. I love veggies flavored with bacon - especially green beans or squash, pork chops fried in bacon grease, pie crust made with lard, LOTS of gravy, full flavor and full fat mac 'n cheese or au gratin potatoes, all kinds of bread eaten with good old butter, potatoes and onions fried in bacon grease, and I could go on for days. Paula Deen's recipes do my tastebuds good and make my tummy happy!!!
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
