WOOOOOOO!!!

so,
it's the first,
and that means a rabbit rabbit treat-
always,
because rules is rules.
but,
it's also sandwich week,
and that means it's gotta be a sandwich treat.
why?
for the exact same reason;
yeah.
rules is rules-
is that going to be a problem?
not for me, and not today-
WOOOOOOOOOOOO.
you'd better believe it,
it's right now that we're bakin' up some new hottness,
and putting it on both sides of some filling, too.
that's how sandwiched work,
and right now, the baked greats we've got going on are fantastic.
yeah.
we're making whoopie..........pies.
check the mayday-type-sandwich-week-startup-style teleport:

...bam.
decadent chocolate, made lighter, and tighter,
by the new egg replacement blend i've been working on.
hot water, and ground flax, and chia seeds,
soaked all in one small dippin' bowl for a few minutes.
it works the best of all the many many things i've tried,
for when what i need is binding that has albumental albumenesque traits.
for real.
-
i dripped a little pinky pink in the ludicrously luscious filling.
y'know,
just to  hotten it up a smidge on the pretty side of things.
half a tub of creamchee',
a stick of butterish,
3 cups of kapowdered sugar,
vanilla, and a few tablespoons of soy yogurt,
whipped into a frenzy,
and rolled in some kyooooot sprankles.
-
neighbors,
i have got it going ON right now-
the thing is, i've also got a bunch exxxtra.
too much is the right amount, after all.
i guess i'll just have to save it for another 'nother time.

(which i believe will be so much sooner than later, 

it won't have had a chance to change much at all)

...

chocolate cake, in pie format, is dope.

whoopie pies are molto dope.

cocoa powder is so strong, and being vegan right in the middle of all of 

it is kind of the best part.

i think i'm underselling it.

allow me to reiterate:

vegan whoopies, guys!!!

i mean, 

they're SO good.

i kind of can't stop eating them.

did i wake up and pickle some daikon and carrot?

yes, i most certainly did.

what about marinating some super firm drained and pressed tinily cubed tofu 

in white wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and oregano?

well,

it does need a few days to really activate, 

so i got it ready well in advance of the plans i've made for it.

i've got stacks of sauces marrying their flavors;

i've got both my veggie crispers packed to the top; 

the bread box overflowing down onto the counter in both directions;

and some pretty strong smells permeating the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress.

i sort of wish sandwich week was a more widespread thing,

but having a whole holiday that's all mine is pretty good too.

i'm thankful for and mindful of the time and energy, 

the cooperation and the companionship,

the spirit and memory,

the gratitude and generosity,

that make little things like a week of focus and enjoyment possible.

it's all a lot to take in, even for something that seems so simple on the surface.

i'm very lucky, to say the least;

never quiet, never soft.....
