Güd Stuff

Anthony comes home from work with many cartons of Gü (pronounced "goo"). One of his co-workers has, as far as he understands, just won a lifetime supply of the stuff and had it delivered -- all at once -- to the company break room. Because it will expire and is far too much for one person to consume, even over a lifetime, she has generously invited her co-workers to take as much home as they can carry. 



Gü is fattening and full of sugar, but I have no problem with that in a dessert. And they pass my test as "real food" because at least I recognize and myself would use virtually all the ingredients listed. They even come in real glass containers which, I suppose, is nice in that it saves on plastic, although now we can't figure out what to do with all the glass. Let's just say that, for the moment, all my beads are nicely separated and organized. 

Anthony brings home: 

Lime Tarte
Cherry
Trio Goürmand Chocolate Ganache
and Tiramigü.

Other flavors include Molten Chocolate, Cheesecake, Lemon Cheesecake, Blueberry Cheesecake, Molten Salted Caramel, Molten Chocolate Orange, Mango Passion Cheesecake, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate-Vanilla Cheesecake, and Banoffee.


The arrival of the free Gü causes a great deal of excitement in our house. The equivalent might be if somebody at your house came back with eight free pints of different Ben & Jerry's flavors. Or, I suppose, if you want to keep the gratuitous umlaut theme going: 
Häagen-Dazs.
