Duck Fat Brioche, Oreo Fudge and Chicken Livers

[a_boleyn]

Work is slow in January, after the return from the Christmas break, and as teachers gear up for the last few weeks before the end of the fall semester. So, when I was at home on the first day back, I decided to make another batch of the duck fat brioche dough that I've posted already. In the meantime, I've eaten several of the rolls I made and

Everything looks delicious, but I am cooking challenged. Still will be trying the Oreo fudge.

I prefer the texture of the original creamy fudge without the cookies to be honest. You can use other cookies if you like ie gingersnaps. I've now made all the variations I wanted to, and finished the package of Oreo cookies, so I'm going to take a break from making fudge.

The plain vanilla fudge recipe makes 1 pound. The one with the cookies was almost 1 1/2 pounds.

I have to be in a special mood for chicken livers, but that does look good. Hell, everything you make looks good.

Thank you. I get periodic cravings for chicken livers ... it's comfort food I think. Or it may be a need for more iron in my diet. (I was surprised to learn that chicken livers have more iron per serving than beef liver.)

From the net:
Why are chicken livers good for me?

Chicken livers are high in protein and a rich store of folate, which is important for fertility and helps prevent certain birth defects. (Food Standards Authority advises pregnant women not to eat liver because too much vitamin A can harm the baby.) Livers are also loaded with iron to give you energy and a treasure trove of certain B vitamins, most notably B12. This nutritional profile makes them a good choice for anyone prone to anaemia. Chicken livers are also one of the top sources of vitamin A, which helps eye health.

I haven't craved it in a long time, but I'm on regular iron supplements. That might be why.

I've been neglecting to take my one a day vitamins so that's probably why in my case.
