TRIP-CHIP TRIPS!!!

triple chips?!
yes, friends.
triple chips!
guys!!
shoutouts to the vegan chip spot, for supplying all the dairy-free kosherness
that's about to change the way i bake up my treats.
yuuuuuuuuuuuup.
it's ON, broski.
y'boi king david, a.k.a. the secret vegan sorcerer's supplier,
has got me feelin' a certain kind of way.
that's that new new hottness,
and when it's time to introduce a new batch of new hottness
featuring the expert utilization of those new new ingredients-
it seems only natural to apply the formula to the legendary
legacy of sweet treat supremacy that is the one and only rock bloxxx.
word.
check the teleport:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
triple chips, mutha'uckers!
chocolate jauns!
white chocolate jauns!!
caramel gargamel jauns!!!
AND a double drizzle to turn it up to eleven!
that's the only way to go, y'know?
mmhmmm.
they're oaty, they're coconutty, they're brown sugary,
they're buttery, they're chocolaty, and they're incredible with the cakelike nuances
of white choco-loco-lettes, and those caramelty mini bits, too.
daaaaamn.
it's a whole new realm of taste, friends.
also, i actually have a fourth chip, too.
i do!
it's butterscotch, and it wasn't invited to the cookie party,
but it will be making an appearance soon, so don't fret.
get after your main man king david, though, and get those radical vegan flavors.
caramel on the gargamel-tip, in chip form,
is something i have been missing without ever even knowing it.
now that i've got it, however, i can't go on without it.
that's the only problem with illuminating the darkness, right?
once you know what's out there, you cannot ever un-know it.
and i have seen the light of vegan chips,
and nothing will ever be the same.
hahaha.
***********
i had a wild pair of days, down in connecticut.
yeah.
i did.
maple star was in the school play,
'she stoops to conquer',
and it was pretty effin' good stuff.
so was the interactive food-stuffin' face-packin' vegan smorgasbord we had while
within the confines of new haven county.
for realsies,
there was emergency tofutti at sweet claude's;
there was frank pepe's pizzeria magnificence;
there was somebody's first time at chipotle;
there was lalibela's ethiopian food;
there was pastry hottness at the edge of the woods endlessly hippie crunchy grocery.
if you're unfamiliar with any of those,
i'd recommend you get yourself down there and see for yourself-
on the ones, it was all good,
and all really happening.
truly,
the food is the highlight of every trip.
to that end, you'd better believe that i brought three kinds of treats,
with a wide profile of flavor and texture and visual appeal.
why?
because too much is the right amount,
and when you're gonna bring the fire, you'd better bring ALL the fire.
yeah.
here's how to rock your bloxxx with chips on chips on chips-

TRIPCHIP ROCKBLOXXX!!!
-
preheat your oven to 375℉
-
in a large bowl,
thoroughly mix up:
1 stick (8T) vegan butter;
1/2 tsp salt;
2 tsp vanilla;
1 cup brown sugar;
-
add:
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and stir until it's all one muddy mess.
add;
1 cup oatflour;
2 cups flour;
1 tsp ea. bakey powpow and bakey soda;
1/2 cup fresh-ground coconut;
1/3+ cup each chocolate, white chocolate, and caramel chips.
mix well, and thoroughly,
and dollop golf-ball-sized blops onto baking sheets,
(i got 39 cookies from my batch)
and bake them for 13 minutes.
cool them on a wire rack,
and then hit 'em with that drizz!!!
it's just melted chips with a little non-dairy milk to emulsify the dissolution.
dudes,
that's how you make it special, though.
a double drizzle is better than a lame icing any day.
and in that pollocky pattern?
it's art, m'man.
and you like it.

so,
i'm back again, in the woodsly goodness,
and i'm back at it, today, at AMPERSAND TATTOO.
i missed my main milkyman, crabtree the crapper,
but he was in good hands with nate holding it down
at the helm of the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress.
i'm psyched on my team, friends.
it's a good one.
i'm grateful for the time i have been given,
and i know i'm damned lucky to have these people around
who are sharing this leg of the trip with me;
never quiet, never soft.....
