one ingredient, so hard.

so,
i've got this guy who helps me out.
and in return,
i hook him up with some of my many delicious baked greats.
the thing is,
i haven't seen him in a little minute,
and in that little minute he had a berfday, which i missed.
and yes,
for sure, i well-wished and all of that,
but he didn't get any treats, y'heard?
yeah!
i know, neighbors...
i can't miss out on a chance to display gratitude and generosity,
and express my professional appreciation for all this homeboy has
done to help me be better than ever for these last few years.....
that's no joke-
which is precisely why i made his favorite flavor into a thing.
uh-huh.
coconut.
i used home-ground coconut flour,
and oats and wheats and coconut oil and pseudo-butters,
and i made cookie dough, yo.
check the teleport:

wu-TANG.
but, i mean, how expert do those look?
yup.
and did i get straight loc'd out on the overkill?
you know i did.
how?
c'mon.
by rollin' 'em in coconut before i baked 'em,
i made sure they had that extra activated hottness for our faces.
mmhmm.
that's real.
and then, i used coconut milk and powdered coconut and chocolate,
and melted it all into a drizzly glue.
glue?
yeah.
glue.
and when i drippity-dropped that hot chocolate down on half of every cookie,
it held ALLLL the toasted coconut sprankles in place.
too much is the right amount.
...and that's the bottom line.
i may not have been there on the big day,
but i still brought the belated big action to bear anyway.
so much coconut,
these jauns were like coconut sandies,
except,
i can't hang out with dry cookies,
so they had the crisp outer shell, but the soft and buttery crumb.
friends,
if you aren't reppin' that overdoo-dooin'-it dopeness?
sorry.
when that becomes the case,
you may no longer consider yourself invited to the party anymore.
***********
the weather, guys.
it can't decide if it wants to be terrible,
or just awful.
one thing is for sure, though-
it isn't warm out.
and that's great news once i leave the frigid frostcave i call home.
really.
the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress never gets very warm in any season,
and it's downright gelid once the temps plummet below fifty fahrenheit.
outside, however,
it's just the right atmosphere for sweaters.
and sweaters are good.
especially when they match your shirt and socks and kerchief.....
...which they always should, anyway.
the thing of it is,
i look much better with more clothes on than with less,
and therefore,
today is the day.
shirts and sweaters, and maybe even a light scarf?!
yup.
the object is to conceal more of what's old and busted,
with some knit-up wool blends or whatever,
and make it all look better for the effort.
this is it, and for that, you're welcome;
never quiet, never soft.....
