"Life..."

"Life..."

 

Sometimes Chocolate cake is less confusing than Devil's Food .  I mean it.  Just go shred some Macadamia nuts, mix in some Dove dark chocolate bits, Hershey's Cocoa, some Land o'Lakes butter, sweet cream milk, Pillsbury's Best, a touch of Crisco, a couple of farmer's market fresh eggs, a dash of real vanilla (go figure?).  Hand stir with a FORK - no mixer bull - for a coupla minutes.  Pour into a Bundt pan and bake for 47 minutes... my oven doesn't do 45.

When its done - A lil powdered sugar mixed with butter... glaze the top.  And voila` - sit there and listen to all those voices inside telling you "NO!...NO!... " as you slowly and with full malice of forethought chew your way through a SLAB of "Goodness" and afterward stare with longing at that lil ice-chiped full glass of milk awaiting your pleasure. 

See - its so not confusing at all when you take life that way...

Thanks for the recipe for cake, very clever view, now where's the instructions on how to go through life in this regard, always a treasure in your words my friend...

[Diana]

Yes, chocolate cake is simple and uncomplicated. No need for Devil's Food, too many complications there... Laughs. There is something impetuous about this piece; i like it.

Laughing...oh hon...you are such a sweet soul...and give so many moments of pleasure and solace...never forget you are loved yourself though, also xx

There are times we just have to let go and indulge..It seems wickedly more satisfying then. How our conscious deals with the indulgance is what makes us who we are.

well I would not be confused when my favorite blue jeans don't fit*)
taking life in this way with layers of yummy goodness would cause a chuckle
and ice chips in a glass of milk are a must
creative fun thoughts
I love digging in the past*)*)*)

pure poetry to consume with pleasure diets are lonely

I love this (and not only because I have chocolate for breakfast), but I think it takes true elegance to express a big idea with cheek and humor. What remains in time with grandeur starts with a simple drop streaming through us

[Chris]

There is a "price" of admission...how and when we pay it - forward or back - marks us.

[Marri]

and how we translate what marks us decides whether the price was worth it or not....

[Chris]

you have a grasp of the thought as well as the language...

[Marri]

thank you. I think you can replace 'grasp' with 'love'

[Chris]

think not... even with NATIVE speakers - many can Love- but few can grasp the gestault of a thought.

a most delicious poem Chris. I like the way you think. Life is for living!

[Chris]

Life as we live it.

[Chris]

"Decadence..." such a 'lovely' tone to that one...
