mo' mo' mocha.

coffee and chocolate are a good team.
i mean,
they're SO good they have their own name when they're combined.
that's something to be proud of.
i mean,
everything else just gets called 'chocolate-and___'.
besides,
chocolate and coffee separately are super rad anyway,
but, the tag team?
mmhmm.
it's mocha,
and mocha is all the way expert.
neighbors,
i wanted to have that hottness in my hands.
yup.
so,
i made something,
and it's pretty good.
check the coffee-chocolate-type teleport:

no joke mocha for you no-joke jerks!!!!!
mmmmmm.
ground coffee, and extracted coffee essence,
and instant coffee, too-
mixed in with butterish, and sugar, and salt, and applesauce-
tell you what-
just do this:
-
6oz of applesauce;
1.5 t vanilla;
.75 t coffee extract;
.5 cup butterish (one stick, if that's your thing)
1 cup sugar;
.75 t salt;
3T instant coffee;
2/3 cup coco;
2.5 cups of plain ol' flour;
very finely ground roasted coffee beans;
and half a bag of BIG chocolate chips.
-
that's the stuff.
generally, cookies get baked at 375F for 11-13 minutes.
these did, too.
haha.
i'm just sayin'....
i made sure memorial monday had a whole mess of mocha magic
just so i could charge up my batteries on burly chips and coffee hottness,
all packed into smooth, softy, rich circles of pure delight.
...but, again,
too much is the right amount,
so i also drizz'd on 'em with french vanilla espresso icing!!
WORD.
more often than not,
nobody is going to just hand you treats, guys.
therefore,
if you don't create the treats,
you can't eat the treats.
that's the little red hen rule,
and when it all settles down and seeps in,
the bottom line is: rules is rules.
....yeah.

today is the day-
memorial day,
and i'm packed full to the gills with tattoos on dudes.
honestly,
i'm not in love with any of that.
i'm glad for the work,
and i'm glad that dudes show up with worthwhile budgets,
but damn,
it might actually feel good to get into it with some good ideas on good girls,
or even bad ideas on bad b!tches,
or heck,
a few terrible tattzapps on a trashy ho or two.
hahahah.
oh, c'mon.
i'm only mildly serious.
anyway,
there's work to be done,
and that's what i do whenever that's the case.
it's all really happening,
and the big action is bound to be lucrative, if not intrinsically rewarding.
i am lucky,
and i know it,
and i've got the cookies to prove it;
never quiet, never soft.....
