THE TURDUCKEN CAKE

 

For those not in the know a turducken is a chicken served inside a duck within a turkey. This is a popular dinner choice around holidays. I've never actually had one since I lean toward vegetarianism. For Thanksgiving I had a plant based turkey loaf stuffed with kale & cranberries. It was actually quite delicious plus I had enough left over for two extra meals.

As a child I raised ducklings to adulthood. I can tell you for fact they all have individual personalities just like people. I have never eaten a duck in my entire life and I never will!

The cake to which I am referring is three desserts in one. The bottom layer is a fudge pie, the middle a blue sponge cake, & the top cheese cake. The entire concoction is frosted with buttercream. I purchased this at Walmart same as the veggie turkey loaf.

Smacking my lips together with anticipation I sliced a normal size cake piece for myself.

To my surprise I liked the fudge pie layer best. I'm a cake lover and have never cared much for pie. The cake & frosting were too sweet and I'm someone who loves sweet too. I used to state that it was an utter impossibility for a dessert to be too sweet for me.

It appears someone took that as a challenge!

This cake was so gaggy sweet I had a difficult time finishing it. The buttercream frosting tasted more like whipped cane sugar.

I found the only way I could ever eat another piece was to slice it razor thin. This cake will probably still be in my garage freezer for years to come.

A HILL TOO MANY

 

Ah Valentine's month! Romantic scammers were all over Facebook in January! When it comes to technology, even unsavvy seniors like me know the internet is rife with them.

All are full of fawning, flattering blather such as: "I was scrolling when suddenly I found myself fascinated by your page and posts, then I noticed your photo and was captivated by your beauty and that gorgeous smile. Instantly I felt I had to know this amazing woman. Several times I've tried sending you a friendship request but was unable. Please send me one so we can chat."

The majority claim to be in the military which makes it more convenient for them to lie.

Others claim that sending me a request without my permission would be rude, so that's why I must send them one instead. I have a strong feeling they are incarcerated and that's the actual reason. Scamming women online is how they probably get money for cigarettes, smuggled dope, etc.

However any woman with a functioning brain will catch on and block these scamming low-life leeches immediately!

One in particular I have blocked numerous times is Eric Hill. -- This may not even be his real name; it may be one he's stolen along with the profile pic. I've lost count of the number of times I've blocked him, yet he always comes back like a bad case of acne.

Besides Eric Hill, he's shown up as Eric T. Hill, Eric Todd Hill, & General Eric Hill -- If he actually IS a general than I'm Brad Pitt in drag! In his next Facebook incarnation he might be Field Marshall Eric Hill of the British Army.

Just recently he was back as Eric Hills.

I've filed a complaint about him with Facebook, but obviously nothing was ever done. Perhaps nothing can be done. These guys always seem to be one step ahead!

Not to mention I'm being contacted and frequently by others I've blocked numerous times as well! All of these lying, low-life, scamming scum do not give up. And I will continue to BLOCK! BLOCK!! BLOCK and BLOCK!!!
