National Fluffernutter Day






In honor of National Fluffernutter Day, and after reading several posts relevant to the topic, I resolved that I could no longer resist. Abandoned the pile of midterms being graded and rushed home to make this paean to pure kitsch.




NOT a fluffernutter, as you know I cannot abide rules. So this is a thin Finn crisp rye cracker with caraway. A layer of Skippy, creamy of course. A layer of Fluff. A layer of nutella. Absolute gorgeosity of deliciousness. Another cracker on top was an improvement. But next time I think some bacon. Seriously. But what to call it? Fluffonutellina con speck. Actually a thin slice of lardo would be great too. Got TO RUN. AND DO IT NOW!!!





So what you see first now is the reposte. A slice of homemade sourdough bread toasted. A layer of the best Lebanese Helwa. Chunks of Mo's Bacon Bar made by one of the most exquisite creatures on earth, Katrina M. Then REAL fluff. Crushed pistachios and a drizzle of local wildflower honey. (Perfect dessert after a halibut vindaloo.)

Well Nathan did this in response, so I think I might need to just take this challenge!

Both look uber-tasty! The Halwa on sourdough sounds wonderful with Halibut Vindaloo. Are you buying or making your Halwa? I may have to drive the hour North to Dearborn and get some at New Yasmeen. Oddly enough, I has Chicken Vindaloo and Lamb Biriyani for lunch today.

Oh yeah, baby. How's this for a midnight snack? http://notesfromthegreatblackswamp.blogspot.com/2010/10/punkinnutters.html

Damn. Fluffernutter. Not the prettiest girl at the party, but she sure puts out!

Heather, You always know exactly what to say. But she is SO fetching, no?
