My Lovely Little Humps


"Get you love drunk off my hump. My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump. My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps (check it out)."
 - Black  Eyed Peas (2005). 


Seriously people...you need to check out my lovely little humps, the humps on my lemon madeleines that is. But first check out my ingredients:





When we baked the weekend cake I saved the scrapped out vanilla bean and made vanilla salt with it which I used to bake the little love humps (aka the madeleines). I also took the lemon that I scrapped the zest off of and squeezed the juice out of and tossed it in a pot with water, with a little vanilla and some rosemary that I clipped from the garden and simmered it on the stove. I then proceeded to cut out and assemble nomenclature cards of the human skeleton for my son to use. I then realized that I had been way too productive and if anyone in my family caught wind of this they would expect this level of achievement on a daily basis so I immediately laid down on the couch and took a nap just to help keep expectations low (like I like them). 

This morning (after dropping my little shorty off at kindergarten) I came home and baked the little love humps. And just like with pizza I can not resist eating one right away....memories of having a burnt mouth and sizzled fingers does nothing to stop this. Also I felt I had to eat one right away so that I could scientifically compare the unglazed to the glazed cookie. I did it for science!

 And let me just say...glazed wins! Sorry unglazed love humps you are delicious but your cousin (the glazed love humps) are outstanding! Lemony glazie, lovey humpy deliciousness.



And luckily the recipe says they are best eaten they day they are made so I now need to work eating 10 more little lemon love humps in my schedule for today.

  1. ha ha! I do love your Madeleine connection with the Black Eyed Peas! Nicely done :0)
    And yes, now I need to go and make the glaze, of which I ran out of time yesterday while in the making. Headed back to the kitchen...

  4. Rosemary, an intriguing addition! You are right about the glaze, it made a huge difference.

  5. Rosemary -- what a great idea! How did you like the rosemary taste? And I TOTALLY thought of that song too! I wrote about it in my post as well! I will never hear that song again without thinking of madeleines. Mmm...yummy little humps!

  8. This is the second post I have come across that referenced that song! Never occurred to me, but form this point on, I will always think of it when I see a madeleine. :) I agree, the glaze wins.

  9. Ha! Love the BEP reference. I agree, the glad added a nice little extra feature. We went through some serious testing in my house too:)
