limelit.

the lime is key, kids.
for real.
and when there's already key limes being all tart an' that,
and you put them in with some coconut?
oh, MAN!
that's when things start to happen.
neighbors-
they made a song about it,
so it's got to be a thing.
uh-huh.
i made a thing, and it's definitely real.
and really good.
and fairly good-looking as well.
check the teleport:

coconut key lime tart!!
so tart!
literally, two ways in a row.
ha.
coconut flakes and coconut milk, tarted up, and citrus'd out,
in a thickened sweetened pastry creme,
whipped together in the blender and the boiling pot in my kitchen.
damn.
there's zest, and juice, and vanilla, and a little lemon extract, (just a little),
and so much coconut interspersed through that creamy blarpity center-
it goes great with the coconut oatmeal crust.
coconut oil, and oats, and coconut, and coconut sugar, and more lime zest,
in a shallow tart pan, making a substantial foundation to create upon.
i doo-doo that thematic overlap-type sh!t.
for serious.
could i leave it at that?
c'mon.
don't be dumb.
you know i'm not about to drop off on my activation any time soon.
i HAD to feed my compulsion,
and freak it off with toasted coconut and lime zest sprankles,
and then really get motivated about futuristic new hottness,
and also activate that coconut key lime frosting!
yeah.
pulverized coconut, pow-powdered sugar, vanilla, lime juice,
coconut milk, butteish, and more lime shavin' zest for life!!!
i took it to eleven, again.
i can't say i'm sorry about it, either
listen, duders-
i rarely need to cut off an extra giant slice for myself,
but,
after the first big 'un i munched,
i carved off a whole other 'nother one,
so i could enjoy it again in the comfortable castle i call home.
yup.
the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress goes great with a slice of pie.
even if you call it a tart;
even if it's more of a massive wedge than a slice;
that's the truth.
you want that filling?
i got you-
a cup of sweet key lime juice,
a cup of coconut milk (the carton style, not the can type)
half a cup of coconut flakes.
the zest and juice of half a lime.
half a cup of powdered sugar.
two big tablespoons of flour.
1/3 cup tapioca
two tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch,
vanilla, and lemon extracts.
all the dry stuff, and the half the lime and coconut wetness go in the blender,
and gets thoroughly mixed;
the other half goes in a pot, heating up exxxtra quick-
when the liquid is all the way hot,
pour half of THAT in the blender, mix it al up,
and pour all of it back in the hot pot,
stirring like a cyclone, to keep it all from blopping up into clumps.
when it starts bubbling, and being generally thick as thieves,
it's done.
don't pour it right away. tho-
it's too hot.
wait a little minute,
and don't refrigerate it until it's cooled a bit,
or else you're just heating up your refrigerator,
and that's countproductive.
duh.

so, how 'bout that good friday?
it was more like stoopidhead tricker friday!
teleport;

awwwwwwwww, man!
cold and wet and icy all over...
today promises warm sunny sweetness,
but i'll be tattvblastin' all dang day,
and i've actually been up alllllllll night;
like,
since 1:30 this morning,
sitting with crabtree,
who has contracted an itchy welt situation
that has his whole entire self,
and therefore my whole entire self,
totally entrenched in total discomfort, unrest,
and unhappy wide-awakeness.
bummer.
anyway,
go out and make something great-
you need it;
never quiet, never soft.....
