Sleep evades me this morning at the bright time of 4:02am. I finished baking all of my whoopie last night - came home and began at 5:30 then baked straight through 10:30pm. 5 hours of whoopie! Tiring but quite energizing actually! Energizing, that is, I think because of the smell of chocolate that permeated every crevice in the house! I go downstairs to get more flour...I smell whoopie, I run out into the sun room to grab my computer so I can get some work done during the 11 minutes it takes to bake these delightful pleasures...I smell whoopie, I run out to the car and believe it or not I even smell whoopie out there! YUMMMO!!
One part of me wants to say that if I never see another whoopie pie it would be too soon! After about two seconds of that CRAZY thought, it gets beat out of my head with, you guessed it, a whoopie pie, by my whoopie-obsessed alter ego so that the great delight regains it's premium status in my thoughts :)
What's left for today? Make the three fillings (regular, peanut butter and peppermint), package, label and barcode 70 pies! That's alot of whoopie! And again, load in the car in preparation for tomorrow's 'whoopie kickoff'!
And I would be wrong to neglect the delivery I made to David's yesterday...Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache and Cranberry Orange Muffins. It's not ALL about whoopie here at HTG ya know. I mean afterall, one must have variety in life, don't you agree?? (Insert important comment here...whoopie is and will always be primary in my eyes) :)
So...while I'm writing this I'm listening to the morning news and they're talking about the Catonsville bomber. Who knew that my little hometown would make national news?!? While listening to the rants of this individual, I came to a hypothesis....I believe that whoopie can save the world and make it a more peaceful place! Really now...think about this...if you were having a bad day and you were given a delightful whoopie pie would it not put a smile on your face? Mind you, in no way am I suggesting that any of my readers would choose to drop a bomb anywhere during said 'bad day'! But...if I would have been in Catonsville that day, I do believe I would have given that 'bomber' a whoopie pie...dressed in my baking apron...of course, which makes it all the better :) I believe that he would have been so taken with surprise and excitement he would have taken his fake bomb and cut the fake wires so that it wouldn't fakely go off! I bet he would have even shared with the FBI. I can envision the peace and happiness that would have surrounded the area...kinda like the ooze that covered the town in Ghostbusters and made everyone in the town mad....my whoopie would be like that, but make everyone happy! And you know the ubiquitous saying "World Peace"...well I say "World Whoopie" leads to "World Peace"!
So...I have great visions for my whoopie. If it enriches my life so, it has to for others, right?!?
Make the world a better place...eat whoopie!
My unofficial 'official' second mantra of HTG!
