*thwap*

A gentle smack from the universe has been given to me today. Kind of the older cat whacking the kitten thwap--no claws, no malice, just a "go away and leave me alone, kid".

First--that paper, that so many of you sent good vibes for? It's done, it's pretty good. However. It's Spring Break. Spring freaking Break. The paper is not due till NEXT Thursday.

I walked to class through the Noah-riffic weather to discover a dark, dark lecture hall...and my inabiity to read the syllabus.

Then the bus got a flat on the way home. A big-ass MBTA bus gets a flat! What did we do, run over a box of ice picks?

Neither of these things inspired any bitterness--just a sense of amusement and a light paranoia. Which are helpful for every day.

Slab. It does a body.

Slab

1 loaf pound cake
1 quart coffee ice cream
1 bottle your favorite liqueur (Bailey's and Kahlua are recommended)


Place saran wrap in loaf pan, covering sides and bottom. Cut cake into slices. Arrange some slices, covering bottom of pan. Drizzle booze on top. Spread coffee ice cream over cake. Arrange more slices into another layer. Drizzle booze. Spread ice cream. Continue until out of cake. Freeze for at least one day; booze takes a while.

Invert loaf pan over plate. Remove pan and saran wrap. Slice into slabs and serve as tasty frozen coffee sweet boozy snack.

Serves many.
