Ok, I disappeared again. It's getting to be a bad habit, but when I become worried or stressed the blog is the first thing to suffer. And I've had a number of strange and unexplained things wrong with me and it left me rather stressed. And of course in the face of stress I turned from straight up chocolate to pastries again leaning heavily on sugar cookies for my sweet fix. The past week I've felt pretty good, but when I haven't posted in like three weeks it is hard to get started again. Kind of stupid that I don't post because I feel guilty for not posting, but if everything we did made sense this would be a really strange world. Stranger, at least.

Anyway, this past week I've tucked into the new M&M's Premiums (so far I'm pleasantly surprised) and also found an unexpected bit of magic in the 100 Calorie York Peppermint Wafer Bars (reviews of both forthcoming). I normally sneer pretty hard at the 100 calorie products. They're usually just small servings of familiar products. And I haven't done the math or anything, but I'll bet you pay a stiff premium for those slimmer portions. But these York critters are (can't say magic - I used that a couple of lines ago) fabulous stuff. And they were on sale, too!

So at some point this week I'll try to post something of substance (most likely involving York Wafer Bars and maybe a trip to the Suisse Shop which I had no idea is only five minutes away from me). In the meantime I had a great article by Kate Shatzkin float into my inbox that I felt I should share. It's from the Baltimore Sun and it's about the Wacky Cake. I had no idea what it was until she referred to it as the Three-Hole Cake. I knew immediately what that was. I know I've made this recipe before, but I just can't get remember when or with who (so I was probably little). Anyway, it's a magic little recipe that is great for kids, easy to whip up with stuff you have around the kitchen already, and vegan to boot. And there are variant and complement recipes, too! Check it out.
