baking in the electric glow.

creating christmas treats in an foreign kitchen?
i doo-doo that holiday sh!t, neighbors.
on the real?
i do it the most, and i do it the way i'd do it anywhere else-
off the cuff, on the fly, with no firm direction at first,
and the available ingredients determining the dopeness that
i'll be baking from batter to bread an' that.
yeah!!!
just because i was in connecticut doesn't mean the treats should stop.
y'know?
yessir.
so, i got myself down to the overcrowded and overloud gross grocery store,
and i got all the goods i'd need to make something great.
that's the way it is,
and that's the thing i'm gonna do wherever i am.
uh-huh.
so,
with chocolate chips, and fresh dark red cherries,
and some almond oil, and a whole lot of cocoa,
i got it poppin', people,
and i made it work.
check the cakey-nutty-holiday-sweets-type teleport:

ka-BOOM!
chocolate chocolate-chip cherry amaretto christmas cake,
for your malcolm-xmas A*.
wordimus prime, i keep it expert whenever wherever.
and the chocolate almond cherry flavor had fruit, and candy, and preserves
all over the place, in it, around, it, on it, and throughout all the elemental activation.
F*ing right.
and that's cherry amaretto ganache oozing all over the top, too.
with halved black cherries doubling down as sprankles.
that's what's up.
duders,
i had to get my cake game going.
rules is rules,
even on holidays,
and that deep, dense, rich, righteous fudge-style barbarian brownie ring
was precisely the right course of action for keeping it molto real.

the kids might've been impressed, too-
if they weren't all too busy playing with their phones and sh!t.

maple star, surprised that she could hear me through her beats.
yeah.
and she wasn't alone in her electronic absorption:

harvest, and my niece ca$h,
tippity-typing the whole dang day away as well.
there was plenty of food,
and plenty of less-strained family togetherness,
and all kinds of cake.......
that helps any situation along.
cake.
mmmmmm.
it didn't feel like christmas, being sixty degrees, and sunny.
but,
it felt pretty good,
and that's about all i could ask for.
we bounced in the afternoon,
while it was still light outside,
and got home to the woodsly goodness before too long, too.
we're here,
and that's the best part.
fun vacation family times until the new year, and then some;
never quiet, never soft.....
