So, I set up this blog with the initial plan to never be too political, or too radical, or too outspoken. So I blow it all on one post, and end up with 100 different hits on it. That's some crazy stuff dude. But I'm not letting my head get to big about it. Only 3 of the people who read it made any kind of comment, so I'm assuming 97 people found it accidentally. And that it's really just the same old same old... But comments are nice, just, by the way.
Today is a lovely Sunday, if you're sitting by a giant window looking outside, like I am, in the comfort of artificially cooled air. Because it's hot outside. Like Satan's ballsac hot. (It's the lest warm of his extremities, so i'm not being too overly dramatic.)
This afternoon, I whipped up some tart cherry scones. I'm sure they are delicious. I haven't eaten one yet, but they smell fantastic. I didn't make it from scratch, because it's hot. And i'm enjoying the look of the wind in the trees. Even if it's like nuclear blast wave hot (not for the faint of heart, btw), in temperature. So I purchased sticky fingers brand. And it smells perfect.
Also cooling? a pink lemonade cake. Which I will use to make cake bites. In fact... it should have cooled sufficiently to begin. I shall return, "'tis but the work of a moment."
Wow. Well, first of all, the cherry scones are delicious smelling. The cherries inside are good, but the scone is rather like... a flavorless biscuit. I know, I know, it's a scone, but I figured the cherrishness would run through it. I figured wrong.
I also figured wrong when it came to the cake bites. Cake bites. I read all about these in one of the books from the "hello, cupcakes" people. They are little cut outs from jelly roll cakes, dipped in warmed over frosting. If you warm store frosting just a little to a creamy dipping texture, it dries really pretty, they said. They put these little cake bites on forks, so you can just eat a bite and move on. I thought "I can do that, like petits fours." So I got stuff to make it.
Here is a picture of one of the "emotipops" from "cupcakes, cookies, and pies, oh my!"

Here are the only four surviving cake bites I managed to walk away with:
First of all, dipping a piece of cake you've cut is effing hard. Second of all, my super smart idea to use appetizer forks? It was a super STUPID idea. Also, yeah, it was just Epic Fail. Here's the ones that didn't fall onto the floor or counter whilst dipping:
And I left it for family to eat it.
These are the scones, by the way.
in other news, I feel like I've sung the word "Forever" until it's lost all meaning. That is all.
