Pumpecapple
This year I heard and learned more about turnduckins then I ever cared to.
BUT
A Pumpercapple Piecake?
That is a whole other story.
You might ask:
What is a Piecake? Well it is a pie that is baked inside a cake.
What is a Pumpecapple?
The Pumpecapple piecake consists of the following scratch pies, cake and icing from bottom to top (feel free to change the order):
Pumpkin Pie baked in a pumpkin spice cake
Filled with crème cheese icing
Pecan Pie (or chocolate pecan pie) baked in chocolate cake
Filled with crème cheese icing
Apple pie baked in our spice cake
Iced all over with our crème cheese icing
Garnished with pecan pieces And topped with a generous drizzle of carmel.
And it is calorie free! Well, not maybe not. A serving size is 2,000 calories...
Sadly this is not a local treat! Check out http://3brothersbakery.com/

Cherry Mistmas!
Tequila Christmas Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2 cups of dried fruit
Sample the tequila to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the tequila again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the tequila is still OK. Try another cup...just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the tequila to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the tequila. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the tequila and wipe counter with the cat.
CHERRY MISTMAS!!!

Running Shoes On
I have never understood running.
But, I do like shoes.
While on a recent flight I took the time to read the inflight magazine and came across some very cool running shoes that I thought were worth a second look.
SKORA Running shoes are made in such a way that the center of your foot does the work and not your heel. The goal is to give as close to a natural stride as possible.
Plus they are pretty cute.
So here are the reasons:
And here is some technical stuff about them.
I especially like the side laces, totally brilliant.
And here is a cuter picture of them.
And here is some more running stuff for the runners out there!

No Regrets
I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
