this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. The lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

These Dreams Go On When I Close My Eyes
Allegedly Townes Van Zandt wrote If I Needed You in his sleep while dreaming. I have occasionally come up with the best jokes that way but when I wake up they end up being utter nonsense. In my dream they're hysterical.
But last night I dreamt of this amazing baked apple slice. So I rushed home after work to roast up some lemon chicken and for the side I was to recreate this vision.
I first dunked the apple slices in orange juice, then dipped them in a combination of panko bread crumbs, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon zest. After they were coated, I dotted some butter on the tops and baked them for about 25 minutes.
These ended up being a really great side dish. Not too sweet. Such a refreshing taste to pick one up and have the warm crunch, the slight carmelization, the actual baked apple taste and guess what? Refrigerated and eaten as a snack the next day, Awesome! These will be invited back.
