I Hate Everything, But I Can't Remember Why....


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..
  1. It's the middle of the month and baking supplies are running low. *insert - "It's Tha End Of Tha Month" -song here.* 
  2. I've just been plain ole depressed, and have felt like giving a shit about.. Yea.. You guessed it.. Nothing, haha!
  3. I have to move soon, so until $ comes in or I have a new house everything else is on hold. 
  4. 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 went to Le Cordon Bleu for f's sake... 
 HOWEVER, there's ALWAYS something good to say...
  1. The feed back on the Triple Choco Cheesecake has been phenomenal! 
Also - some of my other avenues in which I make income have been working a little too... So I figured I'd do some self promotion while I'm at it...

Sometimes this disease will try and trick you into thinking the couch is your only friend. DO NOT LISTEN. Just do something.... anything at all...

"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...
