I made the cornbread last week. Definitely not good enough to completely satisfy my craving for the fattiest, most delicious cornbread ever made by my friend. Plus, there was no bacon in it.
The xiǎolóngbāo (small steaming basket dumpling) is from the freezer section of an Asian market. I know, it's really depressing.. but sometimes I just need that little extra push to get me through the arduous journey of a craving. At least I got to eat red vinegar! LOVE red vinegar.
Having a craving as a foodie is probably more challenging than having a craving as a pregnant woman. But I haven't been pregnant so I can't say. All I know is that Usher got it right: I got it, I got it bad... for the food.
LOLLLLL the secret is the bacon fat. :)
