Sometimes in life, strange opportunities will come your way. My philosophy is to always embrace them, no matter how bizarre. This strategy is the only possible explanation for why I will appear on a cooking show this weekend and was featured in the “Taste” section of the March 27 Duluth News-Tribune.
A couple weeks ago I recorded a segment where I share the late Beatty Zimmerman’s fudge bar recipe with the viewing audience of the WDSE “Cooks” program (PBS, Channel 8 in northern Minnesota). The segment is entitled “C is for Comfort Food.” Who is Beatty Zimmerman? None other than the mother of one Robert Zimmerman, known to the world as Bob Dylan.
I’ll share more about this experience in a future post, but read today’s article by Candace Renalls for a “taste” of why I was there.
Check out this quote, where I show how out of touch with cooking I am:
For Aaron Brown of Bovey, comfort food is Kraft macaroni and cheese, just like he had with hot dogs as a boy. “Not the good homemade stuff,” he said of his preferred macaroni and cheese, “but the cheap stuff from the store.”
I talked to a real cook today, someone who tries hard to achieve glory in the kitchen, and she practically wept that I was profiled in “Taste.”
Ha! I’m a fraud and I’m getting away with it!
PS: I’ve already gotten one comment on this blog from someone who said they liked the “Bob Dylan fudge bars.” Let me know if anyone else tried it. As inept as I am in the kitchen, these bars are pretty simple and good.
