i have a serious brain disease. please bring me a cat.
I finally dove into My Sweet Vegan and tried the Mexican Chocolate Tart. I haven’t actually cut into it yet, so can’t comment on how it is, but the parts were tasty as I was making it. The candied pecans would even be nice to have around as a munchie. And of course I cannot resist the chocolate chilie combination. Next time I might either use more cayenne in the filling or switch it to ground red chilies for a little more warmth.
Girl Kitty’s new favorite place. (Yeah, I know. She’s starting to recognize “girl kitty” as her name. I suck.) Seriously, who can sleep with that kind of bouncing around going on?
I had to pick up a few things at the grocery store and was seriously dreading it. Christmas Eve? What the hell was I thinking? So I bop up to the Publix at East Lake. I get the last cart. Oh no. That can’t be good. I grab my shit, head for a line, and they have all the lanes open. Walk right up, plop my stuff down, and head out. Home to back home in 20 minutes. If I had gone to Kroger I’d have probably been there half the day. Hell, that’s the case on a non-holiday.
Holy crap! I think I went into an instant sugar coma after biting into these. Mine ended up muffining out out over the top and sinking in the middle. But the eat up just fine. And the little dent was the perfect place to stick the frosting. The black cherry preserves and small bit of whiskey add a lot of dimension to the flavor of the cupcakes also. Crazy good. Oh yeah, they’re the Brooklyn Brownie Cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.
