This is an unusual venture for me, but a fellow sex blogger, Nilla, posted about a ‘recipe share‘  type thing being hosted by Jz at A Reluctant Bitch, I think it’s a fabulous idea.  ‘Tis the season to be eating…  And all that jazz.

Therefore, I submit to you (not really – submission is not my thing) in participation, my favorite chocolate cake recipe:

PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CAKE

2 cups sugar
1 and 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 and 1/12 tsp baking powder
1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup boiling water

Directions:  In a large mixing bowl, sift dry ingredients.  Beat in eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil at medium speed.  Stir in boiling water.  Bake in two 9-inch cake pans (greased and floured) at 350°F for 35 minutes.  When cool, frost with Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Frosting.

Contemplating My Navel

Dragon

I’m tired tonight.  Not the kind of tired that is bone deep, but the kind that is just deep enough.  Deep enough to drift but not dream, to gaze but not see.

And so gaze I do.

At my belly button.

Propped against my pillows, shoulders slightly elevated, I look down my torso and contemplate my navel.

Tracing my fingers over my dragon tattoo, I let my eyes trail where my fingers lead.  In slow sweeping motions, my fingertips follow the contour of my ink, and I watch as though from afar while the pad of my ring finger swirls around the edges of my belly button.

COOL SHIT TO GIVE PEOPLE FOR CHRISTMAS

Gift giving (and receiving!) is one of my all-time favorite things.  Finding *just* the right gift – for mother, lover, friend, colleague – especially for Christmas, is a treasure hunt I’ve always enjoyed.  As I’ve gotten older, the who/how/what of gifting has changed significantly for me, which has – in some ways – made things easier.  But as time passes, gifting has also – in other ways – gotten a lot more difficult.

This year I was particularly challenged by a few people on my list, but in my search for The Right Gift for them, I ran across some really awesome things to share with you.

Sharing the awesome.  That’s what it’s all about.

(The world would be a better place if we all did a little more of that, eh?)

So, without further ado:  Here is your Holiday Gift Guide Full Of Awesome for 2016.
