Thanks to Asian Clams...I am on the internet

I know I am already on the internet with this blog.....but this is different.......I am on the internet because of a NPR radio show!!! That is what is exciting :)

Plus it is semi-related to my work which makes it even more exciting :)

It is a recipe for cooking Asian clams.......Link



You have to scroll down almost to the bottom to see it....

Look for the title "Asian Clams invade Lake Tahoe" with a large clam picture and there it is....

Corbicula fluminea is the newest non-native species in Lake Tahoe. We are doing a lot of work to try to find out more about them. Here is a recent report about them if anyone is interested...Link

You can also hear all about it on the show :).....the link is with the recipe

Now lets start cooking Asian Clams :)

7 layers cookie bar aka Heart attack bar

I discovered this little yummy treat in Kensington Market........@ a place called Cora's kitchen

I also have a soft spot for chocolate (well i guess who doesn't) and coconut ..............and this bar has it all......................actually alot alot more!!!


The best way to enjoy this bar is to not look at the ingredients and how much calories are involved

JUST EAT and ENJOY!!!

1 stick butter

1 1/2C graham cracker crumbs

1 pkg chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet or bitter sweet, just cause all the other ingredients are sweet enough!!!)

1 pkg butterscotch chips

1 1/3C shredded coconut (unsweeten)

1 can condensed milk

1 C chopped pecans

1) Mix melted butter and graham cracker crumbs and then spread it out at the bottom of a 9 x 13 " pan

3) Drizzle condensed milk on top of that

4) Sprinkle chopped pecans on top

Make sure you go to the gym for 10 hours after you have a piece of this!!! I am telling you it might be hard work later but it is well worth it!!!
