https://thecosmiccupcake.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/when-the-words-wont-come-out
When the Words Won’t Come Out. I fear that this is a sign. Of a struggling brain. Oh so many thoughts,. But none will cooperate. With me, their thinker. I’m not a poet. Not even close: it’s all prose. With me, all the time. But the prose is stuck. Somewhere in the synapses. How to get it out? I’d try the image:. Wordless expression of thought. But no, i’m all thumbs. And a real poem? Forget it—nothing artsy,. But something must give,. For here i sit, blocked and stuck,. Staring at the screen. A compendiu...

We Have One Winner. . . . The Mystery Ingredient in yesterday’s cupcakes is, indeed, PRUNES. So your challenge now, Dear Reader, is to figure out what so perfectly and so beautifully complements prunes that I put it in the frosting.

And then the mail came. A nice big envelope with a grad school application in it. Jungian psychology. Vermont. Exciting. Daunting. No longer spectral and pie-in-the-sky, but real. Do I dare? Speaking of Jung (and aren’t I always? I had a synchronistic moment, after the bank and after the mail, as I sat down to catch up on my blog reading and Facebook fussing. One of my Facebook Friends just finished reading. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. 7 Healthy Habits I Already Have and Want to Keep. 5 Medi...

https://thecosmiccupcake.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/recipe-get-moving-cupcakes-with-fun-surprise-frosting
Recipe: “Get Moving” Cupcakes with “Fun Surprise” Frosting. I have lovingly and self-referentially applied “Get Moving” to this week’s experiment because “Get Moving” is something I need to do.

Then let’s begin. 2 sticks, melted in whatever fashion you’re accustomed to melting things.]. 4 It always seems to be 4.]. Like ...

Random Cupcake Goodie: Inner Child Entertainment. I was tickled pink when I saw this item featured in the magazine I just finished reading. So of course I had to do a little further investigation.

(Un)Traditional Chinese Medicine | The Cosmic Cupcake
https://thecosmiccupcake.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/untraditional-chinese-medicine
I would like to wish a very happy birthday to Scott Hamilton. 1984 Olympic Champion, and Todd Eldredge. 1996 World Champion. Of figure skating, of course! Todd was also champion of my heart between, oh, about 1995 and 1998—this Cupcake had a rather Cosmic crush on the cutie from Cape Cod:. But after the Nagano Olympics, and the sad dashing of a dream, Todd and I parted company, and I moved on to Ilia Kulik:. No longer is it only aging suburban hippies or ascetic yogis and yoginis who are interested in th...
