420

Yes, it's 420 Day . . the day to celebrate all things marijuana.

And it's legal now here in Red-turning-Purple Arizona.

Yes, recreational marijuana is an okay thing in the state that gave you Barry Goldwater.

Actually, Barry was a bit of a rebel and one can imagine him trying a bit of weed sometime in his day.

I sent a few friends who probably still "use" this meme last night.

For those of you who may not know, Willy along with being a legendary musician has long been very open about his reliance on pot to relax.

I'm not sure that he was making any deliveries last night but what the heck.

My smoking days are long in the past and I have never tried the "edibles".

Well that's not exactly true.

I have some tales about a fierce baked treat from one of my friends called Mari-Mari Balls.

And I did, indeed, get baked from their consumption.

But that's a story for another time.

You might have thought I was about to partake when you see what I conjured up in the Taylor Home Bakery today.

Just in time for "The Munchies"!

It's a Flourless Chocolate Cake, from a recipe by Genevieve Ko in the New York Times.

It's fresh from the oven so it's too hot to try yet but I got a taste from the toothpick I used to check it's doneness and I think it'll do.

I was assisted (nagged actually) by my sous chef keeping a close eye on me.

I think most, if not all, of you know that chocolate is taboo for cats.

But Miss Sweetie-Pie thinks any time anyone goes into the kitchen they are preparing something for her.

As people have said in a slightly different way about Judy and I, we can't understand why she's still such a little cat considering all she eats.

I wonder . . . does catnip have the same effect as Mary Jane?
