The video quality isn’t the best, but someone was able to capture our lover’s quarrel.
This was a fun choreography made for a Swashbuckling themed party. How could I not attend?

I’m just nuts about these amaretto almond cookies. Filled with an orange zest to make them the best!
Then they are glazed with an amaretto drizzle and topped with some almond slivers!
Did I forget anything?

It’s maintenance day! Time to de-burr, polish, and snug up my gear.
I have a few swords that I don’t like the blades, and a few I don’t like the hilts. There may be some kit bashing in the near future!
Do you have a kit-bashed sword? Show me your favorite gear!

The other day I asked what your messiest kitchen experience was. I just inadvertently created a new one.
I can laugh about it now, but what a mess! Pro-tip: secure your shaker bottle. Can you top this?
I give you some humble pie:

I was so excited to share my cheesy garlic rolls that I forgot to share this photo.
Check out the cheese pull on this sexy beast! Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano. The more the merrier!
What did I miss? What would you do differently?

Easy, cheesy, beautiful, garlic roll.
I recently made some garlic knots, but something was missing. What was missing, you ask? MORE CHEESE!
These are my upgraded mozzarella filled garlic rolls.
Pure cheesy, buttery, garlicky bliss!
Who wants one??

I use orange zest! If I’m feeling extra frisky, I’ll add a touch of orange extract for even more flavor. And if you really want that orange to pop, massage the zest into the sugar before combining with the other ingredients 🍊+ 🍫 = ❤️

For those of you who were curious about what got my hands so messy and chocolatey, here is a sample of my bake:
Chocolate crinkle cookies with a hint of orange.
I would rather have chocolatey palms the rest of my life rather than never have another one of these cookies.

A question for my bakers, cooks, chefs, hobbyists, and people who love delicious treats:
I am workshopping “Thanksgiving Macarons” for a party. I’m thinking pumpkin pie and apple pie macarons using apple/pumpkin butter fillings.
What flavors/fillings do you think would be a hit?

Another honorable mention dessert was found at the food and wine festival of Alma do Vinho in Alenquer, Portugal.
This is a Kit-Kat and Nutella stuffed churro.
