Blog Carnival Tutorial: How to Make Wedge Treats

So you adopted a Wedge and now you wonder what you should feed your wedge!

Wedges like treats! Lots of treats! but not just any treats!!!

Wedges like Tahini Cookies (or any nut butter cookies)

To satisfy your wedges cravings, here is how to make these delicious and wedge satisfying Tahini Cookies.

What you need:

• 1 cup tahini (can be replaced with peanut butter and any other nut butter)
• 3/4 cup cane sugar (brown or really any sugar)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup black or white, or both sesame seeds (optional, as this is for decoration)
  

How to:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Mix all the ingredients together well.
   
3. Dampen your hands with water to prevent sticking, and roll tablespoons of dough into balls.
   
4. Roll each dough ball in the sesame seeds (this is optional)
   
5. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet
6. Flatten balls slightly, perhaps with a fork, or hands. (At this time, if you did not roll your dough balls in the sesame seeds, you can sprinkle a few on top)
   
7. Bake the cookies until golden on bottom but still soft in the center. This will take about 12 minutes give or take, depending on your oven. (For convection ovens, try 10 minutes)
   
8. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
9. Feed to Wedges (Or yourself)

ENJOY!

East End Nights

East End Nights had it's first party last night, and the Wedges were there! A new monthly music series, East End Nights is a new monthly(?) music series in Scarborough. The show took place at a venue called Rockgarden, a rather strange venue in the back of a semi-derelict recording studio near the Coffee Time corporate headquarters. Awesome!

Scarborough! We support this! Music events in the 'burbs are hard to come by, and they sure beat going to the Rain Forest Cafe, again. Turnout was quite good, we hope to see more of these nights in the future!

From eastendnights.com:

East End Nights is a brand new music series devoted to bringing young independent music to Toronto's East End. The first show is made up of bands that all contain members from the east side.

Thanks to the Diableros, Pink Dead Whale, Styrofoam Ones, and of course The Twin Brothers (actual twin brothers with whammy-tastic metal songs)!!!
