It was a tough week at work. We're barreling in on the busy season and I'm pretty sure that I don't know what I'm doing. This is extra, super, slap me in the face, frustrating because I am working more than 10 hours a day, I haven't had time for lunch or naughtymaids.com in weeks, yet I still can't get ahead of the curve. Anyway tomorrow I'll treat myself to a few cold adult beverages in downtown Haverhill. I'll try to kick back a little unless Pailes is running amuck( for those not in the know think tasmanian devil on crack cocaine). Maybe I'll even consider some of the big questions that haunt our waking hours.

Haverhill, you don't need to drink to live here, but it doesn't hurt. |
Seriously, if you hear "Rolling in the Deep" one more time aren't you going to punch the person next to you in the face? Which brings up the question is it a bigger sin to ruin a good song by playing it 5,000 times a week, or to play a song like "Afternoon Delight" once. If "Rock" is dead who gets the cool beer can coffee table from the living-room. If I like some rap songs but find most of rap repetitive and moronic does that make me a geezer? Would it change your answer if I said I feel the same way about country? Did they invent weed so you can listen to jazz, or did they invent jazz so you'd have a reason to smoke weed? Did Warner brothers ruin classical music by using the greats to score Bugs Bunny cartoons? What's opera Doc?
OK I'll bite, why isn't Sarah Palin's 15 minutes up yet? Why do she and McCain like hanging out with bikers? Do bikers even vote? What does it say about the Republicans that they think America is represented by biker gangs? Mitt Romney announced his run for the presidency today. Does anyone really think the Republican base will vote for a
heathen... cough, I mean a Mormon? Congressman Anthony Wiener is getting flack for allegedly texting a picture of his wiener to some woman. I don't think it's true because talk radio wasn't screeching about it today, but more importantly why would any man think a woman would want to see a photo of his naughty bits? Even if the woman is already sleeping with you wouldn't a penis photo be a bad idea? I don't know. I'm no woman expert as the people that know me can attest.
Still, I know a little. Like woman consider cake a delivery system for frosting. Mmmm frosting! Now I'm a bit partial to ganache, but we already made ganache. So how about some butter cream? Mmmm buttercream!

Eww! come on! Jelly in the cake? Really. |
Now for our buttercream, Mmm buttercream! we're going to keep it simple. The french make a buttercream, Mmm buttercream! that involves heating sugar to the soft ball stage then adding it to whipped egg yolks, then adding that to butter, Mmmm butter! Delicious, and tons of work. Instead we will go simple.
- Cream a stick of butter, Mmm butter! in a standing mixer.
- Slowly add confectioners sugar.
- Keep adding, keep adding, just a little more... stop! How much did you get in there? A pound? Good.
- Time to flavor. A little vanilla? some melted chocolate? How about finally crushed peppermint sticks. How about melted chocolate+an espresso shot? The possibilities are endless.
- Now you have to make is spreadable. Add a tablespoon of heavy cream, mix. Still too thick? Do it again. Slow though, if you add to much the frosting won't stay on the cake. No-one likes saggy cake.
Well no one likes saggy anything which pretty much explains my dating career.
