Random Weird Stuff - "Coffee and Cake"

Here’s a couple o’things you may or may not enjoy. Don’t really care. I like ‘em…

The first is my love song to coffee. I REALLY love coffee. All flavors, all kinds of sugar and/or creamers added. Whipped cream and sprinkles, if you have ‘em. The tune is mainly in my head, which is where it should stay, believe me. Use your own little tune to sing the song…

My Coffee and Me

My coffee and me, we got a thing going on

My coffee and me, it’s sweet and it’s strong

My coffee and me, don’t tell me it’s wrong

My coffee and me, my coffee and me

My coffee and me, we’re doin’ it right

My coffee and me, a constant delight

My coffee and me, awake every night

My coffee and me, my coffee and me

My coffee and me, the love has just grown

My coffee and me, the limit’s unknown

My coffee and me, it’s makin’ me moan

My coffee and me, my coffee and me

The second offering is my opinion of Emergency Birthday Cake. In the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, Stephanie almost always has an emergency birthday cake in her freezer. For the stressful times, you know. And Stephanie has a LOT of stress in her life. If things were fair, Stephanie would be 300 pounds by now, but noooooo…she can still wear slinky dresses. Even if she has to stop breathing to do so. But I digress…

As far as cake goes, I will eat just about any cake. Birthday cake is almost always wonderful. If someone puts a plate in front of me with a piece of cake on it, I will not reject it. BUT…I am pretty picky about my icing. If I were to actually BUY a cake to put in the freezer it MUST have real, thick, lard-based icing. The kind that makes your teeth cringe. I can nurse a piece of cake with the right icing for a half hour at least. Just savoring it. The cool whip icing is fine, but I will eat that fairly quickly. So…instead of cake, I propose Emergency Candy Bars. Nothing is so good as a frozen candy bar that you can’t gobble down without breaking your teeth. You are forced to linger over that baby. By the time it’s thawed enough and you’re at the end of the bar, the stress has lessened somewhat. Even better is Emergency Box of Chocolates. You can get away with less chocolate that way. At least I can. One or two chocolates usually do the trick. Once you open a bar, however, you are obligated to eat the entire bar.

And while you’re at it, have a cup of coffee too….
