It is December 23 in my life. The most joyful day of the year!
Or it would be if some of the 5 star cookies did not decide to act like a special snowflake and yell
at me:” No cupcakes, we are 5 star cookies! No cupcakes! NO, NO, NO!”
I started to speak: “Well, we are open minded people and the blog. And we want to be open to all other sweet possibilities.”
My 5 star cookies started to yell: “No cupcakes. Just NO! ”
You are not my president-they continue to yell at me.
At that point my brain started to boil. Yes, my brain. The part that control my action says:-Go and get your powerful Abraham Lincoln suit and talk to them.
And so I did!
“Dear 5 star cookies,
I AM YOUR PRESIDENT! LIKE IT OR NOT. I AM YOUR PRESIDENT!
You will be with me. So be sure you get and repeat the message!
I am with her and I am your president! And we will make this blog great again….with cupcakes!
Even Fidel Castro would be proud of me if he was alive. Since he is not the Universe is my witness.
Now since I deliver the message,my cookies and I are baking the cupcakes. Together. In peace.

That’s when those blue memories start callin’
You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white
But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin’
That’s when those blue memories start callin’
You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white
But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
So,
Dear my cookies and cupcakes,
I hope you learn your lesson. Life is about sharing. Don’t be afraid of each other.
And be open minded!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
And president Lincoln thank you for your powerful suit! It did help. Say hi to Castro…and I really want to visit Cuba!
When they go low…. I go lower! In fact I go so low that I bump into my own vagina.
For a moment we are just staring into each other.
-Are you going to vote by me?
-Pardon me, I try to speak.
-Yes, I am asking you. Are you going to vote by me, your own vagina.
-I don’t understand – I try again.
-Do you know who Susan Sarandon is? She said she can’t vote based on gender because she does not vote with her vagina.
What about you?-she is asking me again.Who are you going to vote for? Trump or Hillary? Tell me, you are not voting for Trump!
-I can’t say that-I say to vagina. He loves you. He called you the “PUSSY”.
My vagina is shyly hiding behind bushes of dark hair and says:-He called me the pussy! Really! Nobody told me that.
I am thinking:-Look how easy is to convince people into your truth or your lies.
I try to inject a little more truth. Well, he said he likes to grab woman by pussy.
I am thinking, she will get it now.
But my vagina is in melting mood.
-He likes to grab woman by pussy. Can you believe the power I have. I am one of your most important erogenous zones.
Of course he likes to grab you by the pussy.
-You are not offended. I am screaming at my vagina now. You are not offended. All TV stations are reporting on it.
-O dear, my vagina say. Can you believe the media? You are smarter than that. Access Hollywood is the source. Do you get it?
Hollywood! Every day they create the story based on moral! Now my vagina is coughing and laughing in the same time.
-What is so funny? I am mad now.
-Well, you are. The story was created by Access Hollywood in the dark…You can’t see them, you just hear their voices. Do you get it?
-What the fuck am I supposed to get? I am so confused.
-You need to use your own brain-she says to me. And she keeps laughing…
-How can I do that?-I ask.
-Do you remember the movie “Monster’s ball” and Halle Berry the most famous sentence “Make me feel good”.
And then Billy Thornton fucks her from behind. Do you think that was OK and moral?-my vagina asks.
Did you have anybody questioning the language or the sex scene? Where was the moral then?
-But,that was the movie. It was an art- I inject.
-Really, my vagina says.That is your story or should I say that was the spin of the fucking story where the woman ask in a deep, disturbing voice “Make me feel good”
and then she gets “FUCKED”. Nobody said that was inappropriate. How come? Where was the moral then?
For a moment or two I am speechless. I don’t understand this world …never mind my vagina. She has mind of her own.
Then she says: – When they go low, we go high. Of course as long as you spread your legs apart…
What the F… ..How I am going to vote?
-Don’t vote for Killary – she says.
-You mean Hillary!- I say.
-No, I mean Killary Killton!
-But that is not her name!
-But it is her personality.
Oh God I am so confused, I don’t know what to do? By vagina I can’t vote for Killary and by fear I can’t vote for Trump.
What woman or any human should do? Make me feel good….Where is Billy when you need him?
Luckily…”O Canada” is playing in background…
-But MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IS MY BIGGEST WISH!-says my vagina.
And if God is listening “Please keep us all safe!”. Together we are stronger and we WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
LOVE AND PEACE TO AMERICA, RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN…THE WORLD!
And say “Hi” to your pussy when you get low…it is one of the most important erogenous zone….and listen to your body….your heart!
NOT THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD AND OTHER MARKETING MACHINES!
Do you ever have one of those days when everything seems to be perfect?
It is a sunny day outside, your soul is at the peace and your generous heart full of chocolate is asking for … let me pause for a moment….your heart is asking for fruit …Are you kidding me?
Of course, I am. To be exact the heart is asking for cherry strudel. Oh you greedy heart, how can I say no to you?
Of course I can’t and being the hard working person that I am I am moving my body towards my little kitchen and
I am going to create the magic called Cherry Strudel.
Like always, the project manager in me needs to create the ingredients list.
So, what do we need?
-flour, butter, sour cream, sugar,cornstarch, cherries…Easy, don’t you think?
Once you have all ingredients let me show you your destination in making…Cherry Strudel!
5 star cookies cherry strudel piece 1
Now, when you have the ingredients list and picture of destination let’s start baking.
First step – strudel dough. (You can use mixer, blender or your hands)
I use blender. Mix 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup butter.
Add 1/2 cup sour cream (14%) and keep mixing it until all ingredients are blended together.
Form a ball, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for at least one hour or up to overnight.
Now, you completed your first step.
Step 2 – Stretch dough
Sprinkle wax paper lightly with flour and place dough in center.
With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough into a rectangular shape 12 x 9. Dough should be thin as tissue paper.
Step 3 – make cherry filling and sugar mixture (the recipe is below)
Step 4 – Fill the dough with fruit mixture
Sprinkle the dough with 1/4 cup of sugar mixture, add 2 cups cherries and top with the rest of sugar mixture.
Fold dough over half of cherry mixture and then fold other half. Seal the edges. (very important, all of them)
Cherry Filling:
2 cups cherries
Sugar Mixture
1 cup sugar
1/8 cup flour
1/8 cup cornstarch
Mix sugar, flour and cornstarch.

“Manic Monday”
Six o’clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin’ Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can’t be late
‘Cause then I guess I just won’t get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already madeIt’s just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic MondayHave to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn’t make it on time
‘Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I’m gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already thereIt’s just another manic Monday
Wish it were Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic MondayAll of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn’t it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment’s down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
“C’mon honey, let’s go make some noise”
Time it goes so fast
(When you’re having fun)
