Red Velvet Crinkle Sandwiches - The Not So Creative Cook
Note: I will use these yummy treats to bribe everyone, especially the FF crowd – I have a favor to ask. What is it? Find out below. 😀 *** The last few days were really crazy – I have lost my appetite and I don’t know why. I thought that after Ramadan, I will be back to indulging my favorite sweet and savoury dishes. I was wrong… so wrong. For the first time in my existence and for more than five days straight, I did not feel hungry at all nor crave for anything. This is not me, right? I had a brain storming on what do I really want – maybe I’d like to eat something? I told myself: “I know what you want – sunny side up eggs.” Because, my dear friends, I know myself that if I want to eat something that I can’t figure out, I have three answers for that – sunny side up eggs, instant noodles and processed/canned corned beef – and eating sunny side up eggs even just one of those will absolutely make me feel okay and be back to normal. Nothing happened. During my dull days, my cousin came and we had this conversation: (After suggesting so many foods, she finally ended up with something not food related.) H: Maybe you’d like a KFC take out? Me: No, I don’t think so. Maybe I just need to bake something or cook, and then I’ll be back to normal. H: Don’t you like that? You don’t have an appetite – that means this is your chance to lose weight. Try taking smoothies and fruits. Me: I would love it if my stomach would accept anything, but I don’t crave… and worst, I don’t feel hungry. H: Well, maybe it’s not food that you’ve been looking for. Me: Not food? Then what? H: A book – maybe you left your soul in that bookstore when you decided to leave that book behind. Me: Maybe. Maybe. See how brilliant she is? Still, I have not returned to the bookstore. But I know that I will… soon. And let’s see. Fast forward to the baking and results: Over the weekend, I tried baking; hoping the light in me will come back. (The above part was written during my ‘abnormal’ days. I am my usual self now; thank you for all get-well messages and wishes.) Even without appetite, I still managed to eat a sandwich and two crinkles. 😛 Believe me, these sandwiches were amazing – the crinkles itself were not too sweet and the filling was really, really good. If only I had my appetite on the highest level during that day, I would have never given those to my friends and co-workers. 😀 These crinkle sandwiches made my co-worker’s kids very much happy.
