Pastry Hearts

unknown-1

While I could go on indefinitely listing the people I would go nuts on, someday I might run for public office.  Everyone can agree on Justin Trudeau and Psy as grade A ass, so I’m safe there. But truly delving into my sexual psyche might be too grim for the average person  looking for a nice gluten-free pastry recipe.  And let’s be honest, that’s 45 percent of the voting base.

Okay.  Just two more.  Patrick Wilson, and a man in a mid 90’s National Geographic photo spread dressed like a viking.

Now, this pasty recipe is a dear one from my childhood.  When I was a little tot, I’d help my mom make the dough.  I felt like a big kid, rolling it out and using the cookie cutter to shape heart cookies for valentine’s day.  In a sweet stroke of luck, substituting rice flour for regular still tastes great.

Enjoy with your family and loved ones.  Make a new tradition.

And Michael Pollan and the Weasley twins.

  2. Or eat seven spoonfuls and lose sight in your right eye.

**Also, I’d do Hanson.  Even the wonky brother.  I’m talking modern times.  I’m not a monster.
