yup.
because too much is the right amount,
and if you've already gotta use eighty-three different flours
to make what you want to make seem like it's what you'd rather be eating,
then why not go full-bore full-steam-ahead on all the exxxtras, too?
right?!
you know it,
check the brown-on-brown-type teleport:
THEY'RE PRETTY.
i'll say that for sure.
and honestly, i don't give a F*, because these jauns are still pretty damned good,
especially without a recipe and without a plan of attack.
ha.
you want a recipe?
i have one, kinda.
you might wanna tweak it to your own designs, since i made it up and crossed my fingers...
you can still have it, just keep in mind that i'm not a glutenless genius just yet.
you've been warned.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER ALMOND CIRCLES!
-
preheat your oven to 350
-
in a medium mixing bowl, combine:
1 cup sugar;
1/2 tsp salt;
1 stick vegan butts;
2 tsp vanilla;
2 tsp almond extract;
3 T cacao powder.
mix completely, then add:
1 cup almond flour;
1 cup rice-based tapioca-laced 1:1 gf flour;
1/4 cup tapioca;
1/2 cup peanut butter;
1 cup dark chocolate vegan chips;
1/2 tsp xantham gum;
1/4 cup chick pea flour;
1 tsp baking soda;
1 tsp baking pow-powder;
stir and squish and begin to combine,
then add almond milk, 1 T at a time, upwards of 4-5 T,
to form a cohesive and crumbly but still-sticks-together dough.
mmhmm.
roll that out onto a flat, clean surface, and cut yourself out alllllll of the 2" circles.
i got 40 or so from this one batch.
bake 'em for 13 minutes on baking sheets,
and transfer them to a wire rack to cool before icing....
here's the thing-
gluten free sh!t isn't as good as gluten-full sh!t.
unless it kills you to eat it, in which case, you get the not-as-goods.
and, i guess it's sort of a tradition to make it all really sweet,
in order to overcompensate for how not-as-expert they are.
i didn't know that, but now i do.
weirdly, i glazed 'em up without that inside info, and that was a pretty smart move.
-
2/3 cup kapowdered sugar;
3 T peanut butter;
1/2 tsp vanilla;
1 tsp almond exxxtract;
and splashes of non-dairy milk, added and stirred a lot, to reach a drizzlable consistency.
that's a thing.
i'm forever drizzlin', dudes.
that's just how it's done.

***********
the garage is leaking.
uh-huh.
it's been an ongoing struggle, for years, with the A*-hole deck on top of the garage.
and under the deck, there's a roof that isn't holding up it's end of the deal.
of course, i need the garage to be dry, because the back rooms of the house
are chock full to the brim with all the perishable art supplies and printed materials
that'll all quickly sh!t the bed and decompose to some great degree
in the levels of ambient moisture currently inside the garage.
oh, don't worry, it's been a deluge for days, so it's especially flooded.
....as is my basement.
huh?
well, no, that's from the water heater doing something terrible.
unrelated, except for all the water.
-
back to the back rooms and the garage-
the back rooms need clearing out to make room for actual inhabitants.
that's a priority, as time is of the essence at the moment.
but, where do i put everything if there's water everywhere?
i dunno, man.
so, progress is presently halted.
also, i need a plumber, and not just for the water heater-
i have three bathrooms, and something is effed up in every single one of 'em.
more inhabitants means more butts, and more butts need more bathrooms.
that's a thing.
-
how much stress is that?
eh.
it's sort of a lot.
but, at least it's all also underwater, right?
like,
who wouldn't want the added degree of difficulty
that several sorts of water hazard invite?
it's all happening, but this morning,
it just looks so much more grim for all the sunshine that's been hidden for days;
never quiet, never soft.....
