Cinco De May = Bad

 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 would have picked someone who had a birthday on one of the biggest drinking days of the year. (I'm not exactly sure why.... but.. whatever.. ) - I would also like to state that I have ZERO problems with the HOLIDAY or THOSE who CREATED and CELEBRATE it.

Anyway - This Blog is a reflection of myself, and my progress through this horribly long and distraught tunnel. So in the spirit of making progress I will see to it that nobody's birthday is getting messed up this year. There will be no cakes that say "Happy Birthday, I'm Sorry I'm A Fuck Up" in mini marshmallows, there will be no broken glass or pieces in which to pick up. Today is a day of medicine, reflection, SOBRIETY, sending out warm fuzzies, making amends, and letting my 100lb doggie, Jakers hog the entire couch. : )

ALSO - Now here's something you might actually want to read about... CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, OREOS, CAKE, OREOS, CAKE! I am making "Choco-Yo-Butt-Off" Triple Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake! But that is another blog post which I will be posting on sometime this evening. I do my best baking in the spoils of the night while other people are sleeping and dreaming of yesterdays peas and carrots.



And I Leave You With Some, Jakers. (the cute factor always works with people
 (it's time for me to make another glass of Unsweet-Soymilk Iced Tea and smoke...)

"Vanilla Heart-Attack Shaped Cake"

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... ...

"Ya Don't Have To Be From Tara" Collard Greens

My friend, Tara, and I had an interesting conversation about where her name came from, and she seemed genuinely fucking surprised that I had any knowledge of Tara (the majestic house from "Gone With The Wind"). And, I really don't blame her. Where we live you're more apt to see sand cranes, piers, and palm trees held up by sticks than you will see majestic southern homes with huge columns. That's where huge columns came from by the way...  Or America's obsession with putting columns up everywhere rather. The movie inspired people everywhere to embrace the south in their soul, throw up some columns, put on a bandanna, and make some collard greens. Now, I'm not even sure collard greens were even in "Gone With The Wind" but they are quintessentially southern none the less. I am from a super small town where if there weren't collard greens on my Granny's table at least three times a week then the world had probably gone to hell in a hand b...
