It was super cloudy this morning, and now it’s sunny like nothing ever happened. I think I’ve solved my dessert dilemma, it will be a caramel apple upside down cake. Although I just read that it’s not a good one to make ahead.
Argh.
So either I can make it tomorrow at my dad’s where I will be cooking, or…I have to make something else. Fist shake.
Dessert is not usually this difficult for me to pull together. Maybe I should go out in search of cranberries and circle back to my first plan. I swear I’ve never found making a dessert this ridiculously complicated.
And I certainly can’t give you any high-handed advice about going with the flow because I clearly am not even close to doing that. Baking is supposed to be fun, though.
Fun.
And perhaps, on some level, I feel like if I can produce a good enough dessert, a good enough meal, it will make the day into something different, something more than what it’s likely to be. I think what we have here is a conflict with what is.
There’s no dessert that good. And I’m a dessert person.
I’m leaning toward heading to the store. That might be a delusional act of near obsession at this point, though. I mean…the very day before.
Then again, given the suspicion is my dad got COVID from a grocery store…while masked…is today the day I want to go? Really?
Decisions, decisions. Maybe apples sinking into the cake won’t really matter. It’s only me and my dad, right?
It’s only me and my dad, and maybe that’s part of the problem.
Anyway, that’s it for me on this Wednesday, I’m going to go vacillate some more. Have a great day, and I hope you have all your ingredients, whatever ingredients they may be, and if not, your improvisation is even better than the original.
