Mofo 2013 The GiGi Doppelganger and Gluten Free Cookies

Good morning everybody in Mofo Land. Larry, here. Did GiGi ever mention to you that we live in a destination spot? It's true, people come from far and wide to hangout on the famous Solano Avenue which is a mile and half row of restaurants, boutiques, an indie movie theatre etc. and just happens to be around the corner from us. Living here in this cool area makes up for our MRI sized dwelling. The cat kids and Jerry love it. Anyway, yesterday was the annual Solano Stroll. Since 1974 Solano Avenue and the twin-cities of Albany and Berkeley CA, have hosted the Solano Avenue Stroll, the east bay's largest street festival! They feature over five hundred vendors including entertainers, food booths, government and non-profit agencies, hand-crafters and more! Participants and the event guests visit from everywhere throughout California! (Some even from out of the state.)

Now I am well aware that I might be a suspect in the disappearance of GiGi, however I have decided to take the matter into my own piano playing hands. I decided to scour the streets of the stroll for GiGi and because there are not a lot of vegan options at the Stroll for GiGi, I figured she might be hungry. I brought some GF sugar free, oil free cookies she had frozen just before she... she, you know went missing from her blog. Maybe the cookies would entice her. First the cookies, then the footage and stills. Do you think this is GiGi or a GiGi doppelganger? 


Gingersnaps

3/4 C melted coconut oil

1/3 C unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp sea salt
3 T molasses
1 C agave
2 T non-alcoholic vanilla
2 1/4 C GF  "Perfect Blend" flour
1/4 C flax meal
1 tsp baking soda
jam optional

Preheat oven 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. In medium bowl combine the first 5 ingredients. In another medium bowl whisk the dry ingredients. With a spatula carefully add the dry to the wet ingredients until a grainy dough is formed. Using a small scoop scoop dough onto prepared baking pans, spacing 1 inch apart. Flatten with heel of your hand. Bake cookies 1 inch apart for 9 minutes, rotate pans and bake another 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on racks for ten minutes and then remove cookies from pan. Let cool and then spread one cookie with jam of your choice and top with another cookie. 




Is this GiGi?

  1. Looks like GiGi or the GiGi doppelganger doesn't want to be found! But I'll dress up like GiGi too if that's what it takes to get those cookies.

  5. I think someone is impersonating GiGi and trying to take over her blog — maybe her life. Beware.

    1. Wow do you think it's Geeger's old friend Susmithy impersonating her?
      If it is I think she would indeed enjoy these cookies.

      Delete
    2. Susmithy wouldn't need to impersonate Geegers because Larry is her good friend and would give those cookies to her anyways if she asked. :D

      Besides, since Geegers is in Bangalore with Susmithy, the cookies could be demanded as ransom if Larry wants Geegers back. :p

    3. ransom. hmmm. that is true.
      she might be in Bangladore. Larry will have to have proof.shipping cookies to Bangladore can be pricey.

    1. Is that big hairy guy ready to wax for GiGi. We will consider your tip, but GiGi is allergic to the cold.
