    The Electric Lemonade Bundt

    • posted in Foodstuffs
    • / with 1 comments

    It was National Bundt Cake Day 2019.

    I had a dozen lemons from my tree going crazy.

    I had a bottle of blue curaçao from that time it was on sale when I was shopping for supplies for the Harvey Wallbanger Bundt.

    “Bolognacotti.”

    There have been times during our shelter-in-place adventure when I’ve been really good about staying on top of laundry and housework. Most of early May was not any of those times.

    Our shelter-in-place directive went into effect at midnight on March 16, 2020. Since I am all about the stress-bake, here is a list of the cakes I’ve made since then.

    Once upon a time it was last Tuesday and I had an Imperfect cabbage so instead of making tacos I made this plant-based version of a meat thing my mom used to make for us.

    One of the best things about being a dog mom is the amount of time and energy you get to spend monitoring poop. In case you ever worry that my life is getting too glamorous.

    I admit, I’m kind of a slob. My desk is a disaster. There are usually about 147 things on it, only 8 of which are strictly necessary to my workflow.

    In the interest of not going completely insane due to my dogs barking at every single thing that has the audacity to make any kind of a sound outside of our house, I play music via the iHeartRadio app through the living room TV so it’s audible throughout the house.

    Granted, it wasn’t great literature, but it was a post, and it was written before midnight, and it would have kept me on track for only being one post behind on Blogtober.

    And then it vanished.
