I realize I feel terrible. I realize that’s coloring how I post. So if you wanna just pass this on by without reading it, I won’t be offended, but I do have a gripe. I’m trying not to be affected by these commercials for animals that are out in the cold where they show me animals being snowed on or animals out in the heat with flies, crawling all over them And I wonder did I need to see that or did they need to just rescue those animals and tell me what kind of conditions they were found in because it’s just disgusting that they were used in a guilt campaign because what else is it? I know I’m supposed to send money because it’s the holiday and my plate is full and I’m surrounded by love and happiness and family and food and these poor animals don’t know where their next meal is coming from. I’ve been in rescue a long time. Sympathy adoptions don’t last. Let him throw a blanket over the cold ones let them shoo the flies and rescue the ones that are out in the heat, but I don’t need to see it before they do. Some of the ones I rescued were in homes and being treated pretty badly one cat in particular. OK, that’s it. I feel better.
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. 😅
