Bake The Pain Away

Eat at Your own Risk! (lol) Yummo! I really can't stop gushing about this cake, ya'll. Literally... they had to keep it away from me so I wouldn't sleep eat it, and give myself a heart attack from eating it. And, by the way - every piece was worth every palpitation. (don't worry, I only got about two pieces of this cake - it was so good everyone else wanted some, haha) Alrighty - Let's get to it..  First, get your ingredients together and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Then whisk your dry ingredients together. This takes place of actually having to buy cake flour. It's a short cut I use, but you can purchase cake flour if you want to, it's your life - however this saves you a bundle of time without having to purchase the flour and gives you a discount plus an even texture throughout the cake.  Start getting the wet ingredients together. Eggs, Sugar, Butter, Vanilla, & Crisco... YES - another recipe with Crisco... ...

   Okay you guys - I'm going to be honest with you... I've been uber depressed, lethargic, and spotty on my meds which have been making me sleep a lot and be very unmotivated. Some cray-cray stuff is happening right now in my life and to tell you the truth a lot of my online business stuff has just been taking second place.    However, I am starting to really apply myself in other areas such as answering the freelance blogging ads, of course - LOVING the rejection in every single one, lol. One of my favorite teachers once told me that sometimes it takes seven hundred rejection letters to get the one that will change your life.. situation.. whatver. : )    So - I'm going to go ahead and POST this blog I have been keeping from you guys out of sheer laziness.. and it's for "Vanilla Shaped Heart-Attack Cake" which I by no means will ENCOURAGE you to eat... but you're an adult and you make your own decisions.. So now.. with this update.. I will get to work...

Wow, I haven't been this lethargic in a LONG time. Well, here's the deal you see - they switched my medicine up and the new isn't doing the trick so I switched back to my old which I have a few week supply... And while I was on the "other" I haven't wanted to do anything but sleep, which.. is promptly.. what I have been doing. I haven't done any baking because.. It's the middle of the month and baking supplies are running low. *insert - "It's Tha End Of Tha Month" -song here.*  I've just been plain ole depressed, and have felt like giving a shit about.. Yea.. You guessed it.. Nothing, haha! I have to move soon, so until $ comes in or I have a new house everything else is on hold.  I WILL Let you know if I cook anything or do anything constructive, but the best I'm getting right now is throwing noodles in a pot and opening a jar of sauce.... *eeeeeew, and not my style so you KNOW I'm feeling pretty down...* I mean, I w...

*Update.... "Nobody Gives A Shit About Big Foot" - Tourrette's Guy  - Anyway so I found this really uplifting Documentary to watch on Netflix which helped my mood and took this damned mosquito buzzing craving away.... * Still on Day 6 This is really my head today, lol.. Some of it's funny... Some of it's serious shit tho... So... a little music <3 here.... Aaron Lewis - What Hurts The Most (Plus a story) This is actually a song to myself. An apology of sorts. For everything I should have done before this mountain of shit. For all the poems I should have written when I was conscious enough to do it. For the ones I should write now. For not being in the right places when I should have. For being in the wrong ones way too many times.... Alyce I'd also like to add this quote. This one is for all of my readers who are just like myself, and have mental problems, sadness, whatever kind of problem... You're not by yourself. I kno...

Choco-Yo-Butt-On- Triple Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake I was gonna name this one - Choco-Yo-Butt-Off - but that would just be a fucking lie about this cheese cake. Each piece is like a million calories. Soon this is going to turn into a weight loss blog if I keep sleep eating cheesecake.. Oh, have I mentioned I sleep eat..? Sounds pretty weird, right.. ? Once a long time ago I was prescribed Ambien which made me sleepwalk, and sleep eat. Long after I stopped taking Ambien I have continued to sleep eat. It sounds hilarious... right.. ? Waking up covered in BBQ Sauce or covered in Kiwi residue... But it's not so fun when you're falling asleep eating a Philly Cheesesteak.... and falling asleep while chewing.. Lol... It's actually kind of dangerous... But since I mentioned cheese lets get on with it here... : )   ------------------CHEESECAKE--------------------- First (gather ingredients) - Let 1 Stick of Butter and 4 Packages of cream cheese become soft to room temp. N...

 I'm supposed to be blogging today about the wonderful, awesome, stupendous cheesecake I made.... : ( But I'm just not there right now. I've been day five on a sobriety cleanse and even with my meds I'm feeling in the dumps, anxious, deeply mournful... regretful, sorrowful.  However, my dear friends this IS too part of the process. Part of my journey... The RECOVERY part... is that I have to learn to feel. Because feeling is not something I am good at... I have a block of some sort, my heart is broken on a level that I can't even explain. I feel things on different days. Today it's the bottom of a very dark well. Re-Learning to feel things is a skill I must possess or something else will control me for the rest of my life. And I've been in the process of turning my life into a shithole for so long... it's gonna take a lot of time to put it back together. Put me back together, or more accurately... see what pieces are left, if they fit, or if they...

 And I will tell you why, kind readers. And share a little bit more about me and my story. Basically, mental recovery from the kind of issues that I have had and currently still battle unfortunately does not come with a handbook that says, "This Is How To Not Be A Fuckup At Life" - Man, in my wildest dreams I wish it did because I'd be an almost balanced person, I imagine. And my imagination is wild..... I'm sure you're asking yourself - "Why is it that our little pie making, Alyce here thinks Cinco De Mayo is bad?" I will answer this question to you with a story. A simple story about a girl who loved a man very much and supremely f-ed up his birthdays for many years. That girl was me, and I have been making up for BAD Cinco's for MANY years. I could take the next twenty years to make up for the bad ones and it wouldn't even come close to the damage and destruction I have caused on this poor person many a bad birthday. *sigh* Of course, I wou...

  "It Took Ya Momma Nine Months To Make It" Apple Sour Cream Pie Alright, man.. .   It's taken me forever and a day to get to this freaking scrumptious pie. I love this pie for a myriad of reasons, and my number one is that it's just plain f'in good. : )  Today however, has been a different story. It just seems ick.. it's taken me forever to get anything done. I've taken my meds... blech.. they make everything kind of grey but I'm not trying to kill myself or anything so I'm guessing this is an improvement, heh.  I've knocked over shit, spilled everything, stepped in it, stepped on it, broken it, dropped it... You fucking name it.. *sigh* I'm just going to hope for pretty pink and blue thoughts and bake a pie. My mother would smile in the Hereafter at a freshly made apple pie. So why not, instead of dwell on all the shit that makes me sad...I'll make a pie. And then give half of it away like I did with th...
