The modern thinking of the miserable mind believes that dividing your time between your duties to our families, our work, our communities, our God, and getting our own lives presentable is morally wrong - emblematic of selfishness and privilege.
But what happens to all those hours that were once devoted to that? How do you fill up that time when all those elements which make for a challenging but satisfying life are considered anathema?
Once you remove those priorities, you're left with "you." And that "you" is a relentless chaos of anxiety, fear, self-pity and perhaps worst of all: envy. An envy directed at all those who still believe in those duties you have abandoned.
it's not the simplest equation to reverse, but it's our responsibility to help that reversal take place.
Mark requested a yule log cake so I reached out to my gutter family. 90% of you responded with “buy one“….Which I appreciate. However, a few Gutter souls delivered. Congratulations to @Kimmiesee for her Yule Log salted caramel filling recipe.. so good so good(I used Cook’s Illustrated sponge cake recipe but used Kim’s filling). Also, congratulations to @jennybadger2 for her jellyrole recipe. Mark asked me to do one with jam and here it is. I will be making this one for Mark‘s 64th birthday on February 10- because LOVE.
Thank you everyone else for sending me their recipes. I will be definitely using @MarkLawson buttercream frosting and if I ever find white chocolate pudding mix, I will try @Mmmril Sandra Lee recipe.
Please keep an eye out for an email from a Gutter team member @Kimmiesee and @jennybadger2.
Mark has officially put in a request for a Yule log.
Calling all bakers—does anyone have a TRULY foolproof recipe? And I mean foolproof-foolproof. 😅
I’ll ...
