EARTH DAY!

do y'all even care about the earth?
you do?
well, i've got some good news for you then-
today is the day.
uh-huh.
earth day.
pick up some roadside garbage, or plant some flowers, or do whatever it is you do
when it's a whole day dedicated to the big blue marble we dwell on the surface of.
hmm?
man, i dunno what you're s'posed to do,
i just know it's earth day.
not for nothin', but when you're a vegan, every single day is earth day.
yeah!
oh, yeah, that IS a pretty pretentious and maybe even obnoxious claim-
but it's also quantifiably true.
so, earth it up, earthlings.
meanwhile,
i got myself into some planet-sized trouble with some treats.
what?
neighbors, when i make certain things, in quantity,
i can just tell right away that there's gonna be problems.
yeah, i said problems-
like, i'm gonna shark-glutton out and feeding-frenzy my face,
and devour MORE than one man should consume all day long....
damn.
dudes,
i made some new cookies, and they were so flippin' expert,
i HAD to keep eating them.
ok, i didn't HAVE to; ...you're right.
but, i still found myself munching them right up with alarming frequency-
wanna see what was causing all the problems?
yeah?
ok.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP BLOXXX!!
wooooooooooo!!!!!
guys,
i used raw cacao- y'know- the fancy stuff, and it really did a thing.
mmmmmm.
two dozen, plus two.
individual hunks of hottness, ready and willing to get chomped into oblivion.
here's how it got started:
-
*
DUBBACHOCORAZZLERS!
-
preheat your oven to 375℉
-
in a medium mixing bowl, using a pastry cutter, combine:
3/4 cup raw sugar;
1 tsp vanilla;
1 sick (8 T) vegan butter;
1/2 tsp salt;
3 heaping tablespoons cacao.
mix well, and stir in:
3 big spoonfuls non-dairy yogurt.
-
into that muddy black mess, sift:
2 1/4 cups flour;
1 tsp ea. baking soda and powder;
1/2 cup vegan white chocolate chips;
1 pkg ( 1.2 oz) freeze dried raspberries;
2 T agave/maple syrup...
mix it up, gently, and form golf-ball sized blops,
hand-flattening slightly whilst arranging them evenly spaced on two baking trays.
bake 'em up for 13 minutes.
now, you've got sexxxy double choco berry bombs-
crunchy on the surface, and succulent inside, ready for icing.
mhmm.
y'gotta ice 'em, man.
too much is the right amount,
and if you're about to dive into too much of a good thing,
which is to say- exxxactly the correct level of good thingy-ness,
why wouldn't you want icing on top?
right?
F* yes.
crushed dried raspberries and powdered sugar and vanilla and s'milk.
that's all.
and a few dried berry dusties over that-
rules is rules, and sprankles are very necessary, friends.
yep.
***********
i'm no fun,
but i'm no fool.
and i make investments of my time, and my money,
so i can make the most of both.
i'm not sayin' i'm a financial planner,
but i AM saying i make financial plans,
because if the way you spend your time doesn't positively affect your money,
and the way you spend your money doesn't positively affect the way you spend your time?
well,
then you're misspending both.
...and it costs a lot of either to replace the other...
then again, what do i know?
for starters, i know a grand don't come for free,
and i know that currency is mutable depending on the market.
i'm in the market for competent, capable, coherent communication at the moment,
and it's worth more than a moment of my time to find it.
i'm looking for that long-term high-interest yield, man;
never quiet, never soft.....
