lemongrabs

life doesn't even hand me lemons.
that's word.
in fact,
life's hands seem to be greedy grabbers,
and they're holding onto the giveaway citrus pretty damned tight.
uh-huh.
they aren't handing out even one damned pithy piece of zest....
so i've gotta buy those bitter b!tches myself,
and bend them to my will.
there's no time for optimism,
there's too much work to do.
that's no joke.
so,
when it's lemons we've got,
and the backhanded mack-hand of real life
is looming large and in charge like a stern disciplinarian,
we forgo the forgettable 'ade,
and activate the memorable-for-all-time-immemorial chee'.
ha.
yuuuuup.
lemon chee'cake is in F*ing full effect at the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress,
and harvest and maple and i are enjoying a whole new level
of cakey density, with that lemon curdish bite that comes from being expert.
check the teleport:

am i right, or what?
that chee'-chee' jauns is molto fresh.
crumbly cookie crumb crust, with the babiest bit of loco-coconut flake shredded in,
and two types of lemon cakiness,
y'know-
just to be sure that we're really getting our money's worth out of life's lemons.
custardy curds for lemony turds is the way we doo-doo that freaky sh!t, kids.
yum.
but, honestly,
it's the abundance of zest, oil, extract, and juice all together in one big ol' mixture
that really give it it's fully-developed and clearly-defined character.
too much is the right amount.
and that's the only way we want it.
straight up chee' cake with the zest,
and exxxtra-yellow full bodies high-juice-content custard business are great,
but without the lemon frosting,
it wouldn't be anywhere near the perfect eleven we're enjoying.

family togetherness.
when it's happening,
it's definitely the best.
and right now,
it's happening at a breakneck velocity.
the kids have plans during the day today,
and i've got a whole buttload of tattblasting business to perform as well.
tonight, however,
it's 'puppy culture' behavior-shaping videos,
and popcorn,
and blanket parties,
and great times with my favorite people.
this is what i've been waiting months for;
never quiet, never soft.....
