Nine, Ten...TEDDY'S IN YOUR DREAMS AGAIN
This is where things went horribly wrong. The third contestant, maimed and disfigured, Teddy Marowit, agreed to make dessert.
"I'm not sure where they found him. I'm not sure how he was chosen to appear on the show. He walked around singing nursery rhymes! Who does that?!?"
The tasters, the camera men, the producers, all ate the dessert Teddy made for them. It looked so good. By the time the crew figured out what had happened, it was too late...
This was the dessert. We don't have exact amounts but we were able to figure out what the ingredients should have been......
Raspberry Tiramisu
Mascarpone
Lime Curd
Raspberry Jam
Cake Flavored Vodka
Lady Fingers
Vanilla Ice Cream
Fresh Raspberries
Heavy Whipping Cream
Honey
It was served in individual jars.
He mixed about 2 tablespoons jam with the vodka.
In the bottom of the jar, he placed a few lady fingers.
Using a pastry brush, he coated the lady fingers with the raspberry vodka mixture.
He then mixed about a tablespoon of the lime curd together with a bout a half of a cup of mascarpone cheese. He did it to taste, so he may have used a little more than a tablespoon. He wanted his mascarpone a little tart to offset the sweetness of the vodka.
He may have been an insane, mutated character, but he knew a good dessert balances sweet and tart.
He set some vanilla ice cream out to soften a bit.
He then layered a couple raspberries over the lady fingers.
He put a little layer of lime curd mascarpone over the raspberries.
A small layer of ice cream went over the mascarpone.
He then repeated everything once again, but this time he placed the raspberries on top of the lime mascarpone.
He then put a blanket of vanilla ice cream over them.
He stared at the raspberries for a while.
They looked very peaceful; dreamy little raspberries in a blanket of cream.
With a mixer, he beat about a half of a cup of heavy whipping cream on high until it began to fluff up. He added just the slightest amount of honey and crushed a few raspberries into it.
He topped the dessert with his raspberry whipped cream.
*We are guessing Teddy added a nightcap (additional drink which has no bearing on this recipe) of some sort to go with his dessert. The details of this have been left out for obvious reasons. We do not want to be held liable for anything. We know the difference between fiction and a recipe. The recipe is above. The story surrounding it is fiction. We do not want to put anyone asleep. We want you to read our stories and eat and be happy. We also must add, before trying this recipe, we recommend you turn twenty one first. It contains alcohol which, in the US, you must be 21 to consume. Thank you...on with the story....."
He then handed out his dessert to the crew.
They all tasted the dessert, one by one....
and one by one came the yawns...
They smiled and dreamily settled back into their seats for a quick nap.
"As the snores came, Teddy grinned. It was an awful grin. The cameras highlighted the scarred and mutated face. He raised his arm; the blades in the gloves glistened under the lights of the cameras. OH GOD!"
My one and only survivor could barely contain himself as he continued his story. He cried and sobbed. I pleaded with him to finish.
"Edwin came out of nowhere. The shears were sharper than Teddy's and Teddy...OH GOD!"
It took a few minutes but he went on to finish.
"There was a struggle. The two were fighting as Teddy's glove and um, the rest of his arm ,was flying through the air. A loud yell came from the next room. 'MOSH PIT!!!' and Rent's head hit Teddy's flying glove, leaving his head like a hole.
The three lay there for a long time.
I called an ambulance for Rent, after gaining my composure. Teddy was the first to disappear (along with his arm) and I urged Edwin to go too. I knew he was destined for great things. Being a victim of Teddy's just wasn't in his cards."
The rest of the night, my witness explained, involved hiding all of the details and doing his best to destroy any evidence left behind. The tasters and producers awoke the next morning. Apparently none of them had any recollection of the horrors that occurred the night before. They all went on with their lives unharmed and a bit puzzled.

And there you have it, my friends: a lost TV show, a story, some great recipes and the end to another Halloween.....
Or is it?
*Disclaimer: The posts in this blog are fictional and do not depict any actual person or event. Any similarities to real or actual people exist only because there may have been a Halloween store going out of business and I tend to buy useless objects that pile up. Using them in a blog post helps to give them a purpose and me a reason to buy seemingly random objects. I hope you enjoyed the very fictional story not based upon anyone or anything.
I do not condone violence of any sort. Nor do I recommend being on TV. No blood was shed and no arms were actually severed in the making of this blog. No people were harmed. Dinner was good. We are all over 21 and dessert was good too.
If I wasn't already prone to nightmares, I'd try the tiramisu! Excellent story, very inventive, and the disclaimer is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI hope it was as much fun reading it as I had writing it. It's good to know that I amuse more than just myself with this blog!!!! lol
