Mama Hsu came back home from an excursion in Dubai and she brought back these delicious-effin’ candied dates, stuffed with pecans. They were ABSOLUTELY scrumptious. I don’t think I’ve tasted anything like it before. Unfortunately the little bag of delicacies didn’t last very long in my household. I was a little sad when I popped the last one in my mouth. Don’t worry I made sure to turn the experience into 5 exhilarating bites and savored every last moment. Thanks Mom!!
And now I feel bad (given all the times I came back home and didn’t bring the dates for my two favorite girls in the world) … If I can make it up to you and Em, I’ll be sure to make you some pistachio and goat-cheese filled dates wrapped in bacon. Let’s make a “date” sometime, dumplings!
I was gonna say, you ate these for 2-3 years and managed to keep them a secret?? 🙂 There should be a way to order them online, though, I would think. Feel free to send any of those secrets our way.
By the way … How was Mama Hsu’s cruise in the Persian Gulf?!?
It was great! She loved it. Lots of pretty pictures of some ridiculously amazing mosques. How was Mama Ram’s excursion to exotic DC?
Man, you been holding out on us, Crown Prince. Now I’m gonna hold you to the pistachio/goat cheese dates, snuggled in a layer of piggy fat. YUM.
