There are date plantations in Death Valley, and a trip there brought us in close contact with one of the rarest things in the entire United States: a reasonably priced date. We bought a few pounds and devoured most of them. But when we got home, they went uneaten for several months. The reason is not that we don't like dates. It's that we had stored them behind the chocolate. In our house, nothing behind the chocolate ever gets eaten.
The recipe we used was from the King Arthur Flour Baking Companion. It is low fat and surprisingly healthy. Here you see it served with cream cheese and a happy cat. The cat recipe follows.
Happy Black Cat
1 stray, neglected cat (black)
Tons of affection
Parmesan cheese (Reggiano, of course)
1. Find cat, or let it find you
2. Shower it with the affection
3. Give it the parmesan
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3
