Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie
What's actually happening here?
The layers:
1. Graham crackers and butter
2. Cream cheese, sour cream, peanut butter and coconut sugar
3. Chocolate liqueur with butter and coconut sugar, plus magic (otherwise I can't explain how that turned into the amazing kind of chocolate drizzle that turns crispy when chilled-- every time I've ever TRIED to make it come out like that, it hasn't)
4. Blobs of whipped cream
5. More of 3)
There was no measuring and no cooking.
Whoooooa but it was amazing. Sometimes everything just comes together. What else can I say.
Checking in: 2019
Hey, that's quite an accomplishment! I've now missed an entire year. Why was that? I dunno, there's no fresh inspiration to report.
I've been working on organizing stuff on my hard drive, with the intention to go back and catch up on my posts. It's quite a mess. After my escape I used various old computers and the photos piled from one hasty, badly-organized backup to another. At this point, I'm thinking of giving up on 2018 and start fresh right now, posting the photos as I locate them! That causes a risk of overlapping-- posting the same old stuff twice-- but the other risk is of never catching up and never posting in my blog again.
Here's today's random inspiration. I went googling a phrase I heard long ago in the context of showjumping-- a rider said it. You can't admit the possibility of failure, or there's always that hesitation, and the fear causes the failure.
The quote is, "Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow."
And I found this lovely blog post--

Which addresses the worry, "But what if it doesn't work out?"
Right. But what if it does?

It's Beginning to Smell a Lot Like
Just because we are not doing Christmas doesn’t mean we can’t get fat on delicious spicy gingerbread cut into nondescript shapes!
Next next to the gingerbread there is homemade Mounds style candy made from coconut flakes mixed with honey and frozen, then dipped in chocolate.

Blue and white nighttime beauty
Walking in a winter wonderland!
Hasn’t snowed yet but we’ve got some blue and white right here in Olympia.

This Morning's Cozy Fire
Welcome to my home!
We have a lovely fire going today. It’s only raining and dreary out there, not exactly bitterly cold, but we couldn’t wait another minute for the first fire of the season.
Build it, and they will come. Next thing you know, everyone is cozied up near it with a book.
