Happy 4th Anniversary to Us!

On January 30, 2005, Candy and I started this here website, kicking off the hot pink castle of bitchin’ with an A- review. Now, four years later, a lot has changed. But the best parts have not: our readers are some of the coolest people we’ve ever met (most notably the lurkers. Hi lurkers!) and we are so pleased you stop by every now and again to talk romance with us.

So when it came time to figure out what to do to mark our fourth birthday, I took a look at what the traditional and modern anniversary gifts are for that year. The traditional gifts are flowers and fruit. And the modern gift…?

Appliances! Ha! So what better way to celebrate four years of Bitchery Goodness than to give away a whole slew of funky badass appliances. Here’s the deal: post a recipe and you’re entered to win. But wait, there’s more! The recipe should either be embellished with purple prose, or for something that is quivery, creamy, or spicy. Or all three! Post your recipe in the comments below, and you’re entered to win. We’ll pick the winners, and hand out the prizes. Comments will be open for 24 hours.

The prizes? See below! It’s like the Price is Right and the old-skool Wheel of Fortune (when you got to go shopping with your winnings right there, and someone always got a ceramic dog) had hot slappy sex and then ran off together with Ron Popeil in a hot, hot electric threesome.

And, in case you just can’t possibly get enough cooking, one lucky winner will take home the grand prize: one of the above appliances, AND a copy of Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes.

No. We’re not kidding.

One small note: many of the items can’t be shipped outside the U.S. So if you’re a swarthy and majestic international winner in our giveaway, we can send you a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com or the bookstore of your choice.

    Potatoes that Fan Your Desire

    Ingredients:
    •2 big and firm potatoes
    •Slippery olive oil
    •Seasonings to make one mad with lust (Basil, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper)
    •Mozzarella, shredded like the nightgown that was ripped off you last night (optional)

    Directions:

    First, excite your oven until it is hot and ready at 425?.

    Meanwhile, get your dirty, rugged potatoes wet and rub them down until they are as clean as a reformed rake.  Slice them as thin as the barrier that marks one a virgin.  Spread the quivering potato pieces onto a greased baking sheet, slightly overlapping one over the other like discarded lovers of a woman with a jaded past.

    Drizzle a light coating of olive oil over the potatoes, as you would your lover for a massage in all the right places.  Then sprinkle, to match your wanton tastes, the seasonings, giving the potatoes the look of a lover’s skin, speckled by sunlight coming through the shade of the tree you just made love under. 

    Additionally, if it is your want, sprinkle a similar amount of mozzarella for some added adventure.

    Place in the oven and wait in trembling anticipation for a half hour, or until cooked. 

    Relieve that built up tension by placing a small bite in your mouth, and reap the orgasmic rewards of your patience. 

    —-
    Well, there’s my attempt.  My mom requests these every time I cook, so hopefully I won’t feel dirty whenever making them from now on.

    🙂

    ginger

    Happy Anniversary!!! Thanks so much for all the fun posts, insightful reviews, and the classic in ur ass, saving ur life.

    Midknyt, lusting after those potatoes!

    Have you ever tried getting kinky with them and exchanging the spices for a BBQ mix? I quite like the taste, it sends shivers down my spine like the touch of an illicit lover. And if you serve it to your mother, she can go “OMGWTFBBQ!” *g*

    Spam word: john37. No, not going there. Not even thinking about it.

  6. Pierced by the lovebite of the can opener, the chili sighed with relief as she spun lazily in a haze of lust. Soon she would drip slowly into a bold microwave-safe container, where a pound of cheap yet inexorable American cheese slices would coat her tender beans, layer after layer, until the chili would not know where she stopped and her American lover began. Nine minutes of ecstasy on high power alone, until the threesome began, the crisp and spicy Cool Ranch Dorito probing, plunging and dipping in for his pleasure. The simplicity—-no, the rightness of it all—-the magic of processed food brought to dizzying new heights of decadence and depravity.

    A perfect party dip for your birthday! Congrats!

  7. Happy Anniversary! I’m in the middle of kid-mess, but I’ll try to post a recipe later.

    And the idea of seman-based food created an amazingly disgusting first-thing-in-the-morning hork. Man, I love this site.

    Happy Anniversary!  Here’s to 4 more fabulous Smart Bitches Years!

  9. I don’t cook, so I don’t need any appliances.  But I think that peppermint-striped thing has some attachment by it that looks like a marital aid, and I used to have that crock pot, but I let something fester in it so long that I was too afraid to clean it out, and too ashamed for the garbage man to see it, so I buried it under a pine tree in the backyard and told my husband that I broke it.

    Happy Fourth, Smart Bitches!

  10. JoanneL says:

    Well there’s an hour of my life I’ll never get back & an hour of work I happily avoided … I clicked on the the link and read your first SBTB blogs and couldn’t stop at just one.

    Congratulations & Happy Anniversary!!!

    /delurks to wish you a Very Happy Anniversary!

    I come here every day for insight, wisdom, giggles, and, I’ll admit it, the mantitty. Here’s to Four. Moar. Years!

  13. Wow, has it been four years already?  Hard (heh) to believe. 

    I’ll try and post a recipe later, but I just wanted to say Happy Anniversary Bitches!

    Black bean & corn enchiladas:

    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tbsp. olive oil
    1 small can chopped green chiles OR 1/4 cup diced jalepeno peppers
    1 can whole kernel corn, drained
    1 can black beans, drained
    1 cup ricotta cheese OR 1/2 cup ricotta cheese and 1/2 cup silken tofu OR 1 cup silken tofu
    2 cups pepper jack cheese
    1 cup sour cream
    20 whole wheat flour tortillas
    1 large can enchilada sauce

    Sautee garlic and olive oil in a saucepan, approximately 5 minutes. Add the chiles, corn, and black beans. Stir well and heat through. Add the ricotta/tofu or ricotta or tofu, sour cream, and 1 cup of pepper jack. Heat just long enough to melt the pepper jack. Spoon approximately 3 tbsp. of mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up. Place the enchiladas in a large glass casserole dish (it’s okay to squish them together). When the dish is full and all of the enchiladas are prepared, pour any excess filling on top of the enchiladas. Pour enchilada sauce over the tops of the enchiladas, making sure they are entirely covered. Sprinkle the other 1 cup of pepper jack on top. Bake at 425 degrees Farenheight for approximately 20 minutes.

    Happy Anniversary Bitches!!  The threat of a book filled with semen recipes promises no recipe from this bitch! However I am going to make Midkynt’s steaming hot potatoes this weekend! Serious yum factor!

    Chicken Bleu
    ! bottle chilled white wine
    1 pound, pound pound of chicken breasts
    1/3 pound Sliced, lean, glistening prosciutto
    1/3 pound of spicy, mouthwatering cappicola
    1/3 pound of firm, rock hard provolone cheese
    Hotsa Mozarella, bread crumbs, egg

    Gently take the chicken breast into your hands, feeling the smooth, soft surface give under you fingertips. Admire the creamy pink flesh as you slide the breast onto your glistening countertop. Sigh, then reach for a solid, masculine, rock-hard, chiselled mallet and begin to prod the chicken. Slowly, at first, raise and lower the weight as you search for a relaxation…the spreading that indicates cooperation. Harder, now thrust the mallet towards the meat, spreading it ever thinner and thinner until you fear it might explode, shattering into a thousand points of chickeny brilliance.

    Panting, take a moment to rest and recover. Pour a glass of wine and savor its heady sweetness as it rolls across your tongue.

    Carefully let your fingers explore the prosciutto, peeling off one slice of the dark, pink aromatic food. Lay the prosciutto over the chicken breast, using slice after slice. You want the chicken embraced, blanketed completely. Now, allow the cappicola to stumble upon the unspecting pair before it joins the embrace. Finally, use the provolone as a linen, white sheet pulled up to cover the dewy freshness of the mingling meats.

    Sip more wine, your pouting lips pausing on the edge of the glass.

    Sprinkle bread crumbs, like tiny rose petals, over a bowl.  Tweaking the smooth white egg between your fingertips, bounce it against a counter top until you breach it’s resistance. Drop the egg into a bowl and use a fork to pierce the ripe mound. Stir, round and round until it falls into a dizzy, shapeless form.

    Dim the lights and sip more wine.

    Carefully, reach for the edge of the chicken. With trembling fingers, roll the chicken into a long, firm cylinder. Bolder, now, grasp the firm meat in your hand and plunge it into the creamy, slick egg. Slide your hands over the firm flesh and grab the chicken once more. Heaving it upwards, lower the length into the breadcrumbs. Allow them to cling, tightly forming a gauzy veil over the delectable dish.  Artfully arrange the coiled pieces in a baking vessel. Rain down mozzarella, like sweat dripping from a fevered bow. Yes, yes it is getting warmer as the oven heats to 350. Open wide the oven door and slide home the tender morsels where they will wait, steaming in ripe juiciness for 45 minutes.

    I can’t cook for the life of me, but I can wish the SmartBitches blog a happy birthday!

  18. Jessica says:

    Spicy, no one wants to really cook dinner pad thai
    Feeds 2 hungry people

    1 box rice noodles (thin or thick)
    1 bottle Padang peanut sauce
    I package chicken breasts or tenders ( a little less than a pound)
    5-6 green onions
    1 large lime or two small, quartered
    2 eggs

    Start a large pot of boiling water for the noodles
    Heat a large pan (I use a 12” heavy skillet) with some olive oil in it, on medium
    When hot, add chicken pieces and cook, turning once until lightly browned and cooked through
    Remove chicken to cutting board and cut into bite size pieces
    As soon as water boils, add noodles, stir and turn off heat.  Let site for 3 to 5 minutes or according to package directions.  Thick noodles take longer, thin noodles go quick!
    Drain noodles and rinse in cool water.  Let sit on counter. 
    Add diced green onions to hot pan, cook 1-2 minutes, then add eggs, stirring immediately so they break up
    Add noodles, and toss with eggs and onions.  This is where having a big pan matters.  Starting pouring on the peanut sauce and add chicken. 
    Keep stirring.  Add about 1/2 to 2/3 of the bottle, to taste. 
    Serve with limes to squeeze over noodles. 
    If you want it spicier, dice a small red chili pepper and add with onions.  Otherwise its medium spicy.

    Puffy Pillows of Love Cheesecake (or Sopapilla Cheesecake)

    2 (8 oz.) can crescent rolls
    2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened (guaranteed to get hard later)
    2 cups sugar, divided
    2 tsp. vanilla, divided
    1/2 cup melted butter
    ground cinnamon to taste

    Spray a 13 x 9 baking pan with Pam or any other female oil as lubrication. 
    Open one can of crescent rolls and sensuously press the white mounds of she dough to the bottom of pan. Seal holes together to form a crust of pillowed cushion.
    Blend together the cream(y) cheese, 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla with mixer until slick and fluffy.
    Spread over dough but do not go all way. . . to the edges, unless you are wearing finger condoms .
    Stretch second can of dough over cream cheese filling, seal together with other crust by pressing the edges together.
    Melt butter in a saucepan and add sugar, stirring slowly with a swirling in and out stroke. When butter is melted, remove from heat and add vanilla.
    Brush or pour all of the butter mix over top crust, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
    Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
    Let cool, then refrigerate before cutting into squares.

    Happy Birthday, Bitches! May you have many O’s to come!

    Solstice

    Ingredients:

    Gin.  Something aloof and arrogant like Hendrick’s or Junipero.  (Sinfully expensive crystal decanter to be thrown in a fit of pique optional.)

    Lemonade.  Not that watered down, luke-warm stuff from Almack’s either.  (Recipe within a recipe: six lemons, squeezed; simple syrup, cold water.)

    Green tea, freshly brewed.

    Cucumber, one-inch sliced, peeled and cut into quarters.

    Strawberries, two to three.  Remove head and cut into quarters.

    Brooding Rake, one (optional)

    Measurements:  to taste.

    Instructions:

    In a high ball glass, muddle cucumber and strawberry chunks.  Cover with crushed ice.  Mannerisms should be forceful and clipped as if barely holding onto your temper.  Fill glass to half with gin while verbally sparring with hero.

    (“I have no intention of allowing you to plunder what has taken my family generations to grow!”

    “Your choice is simply, my dear:  marry me or lose everything.”

    “You greedy bastard!”  (It is appropriate to throw the decanter here.  You may want to toss your curls disdainfully.)

    “Save your passion for our honeymoon.”

    “You can’t mean—you repulse me!”

    “In that case, you may want to stop falling into my arms and trembling with desire from my punishing kisses.  Gives the wrong impression.”  And so forth…)

    Add lemonade and top with green tea.

    Remove to a verandah or patio.  Recline on chaise and stare out at the sunset while you sip and contemplate the bleak turn your life has taken.  Be sure to blush hotly as you remember the details of last night and the way Brooding Rake made your body…

  23. Popping on to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the coolest blog/website/bitches evah!!!!

    No recipe from me – I wouldn’t want to chance a win of that book.  Still can’t get over it.  Ewwwwwwwwwww.

    Verification word: “without68” LOL!  Good thing that didn’t say “without69” – Whatever would I do without some 69?! *snerk*

    Luscious Nutty Goodness

    This deliciously sweet and salty creation starts with melting nirvana.

    Ingredients:
    1 12oz bag of semi-sweet Nestles morsels
    2 12oz bags of white chocolate Nestles morsels
    1 15/16oz can of salted peanuts

    You will also need a spoon of awesome, a spatula, a microwavable bowl, and at least two cookie sheets/trays/pans.

    Directions:
    1. Melt the morsels into a creamy smooth mixture by microwaving in bursts of 40 seconds. Stir between each firing.
    2. When the chocolate mass is thoroughly melted like a heroine from a hero’s kiss, pour in the entire can of peanuts and stir until chocolate coats everything.
    3. Taking spoon and spatula scoop out bite-size pieces onto your cookie trays. Do this until you have run out of peanuts.
    4. Save the leftover salted chocolate for some mouthwatering indulgence while you wait for the candy to finish.
    5. Place trays of candy into your refrigerator to harden like a hero’s quivering manhood over the next twenty or so minutes.
    6. Go back to number four and lick the bowl clean.
    7. When the twenty minutes are up pull out the trays and pop the candy off and place into tupperware containers. Best left in fridge when not eating, but can be left out.

    For variations change the types of morsels or add raisins.

    Clean up is easy, less than five minutes, not counting how long it takes to lick the bowl clean.

    Flying Jacob

    1 roasted or grilled chicken (or 1 chicken that you fry after cutting it)
    1 package bacon
    2 bananas
    1-2 dl chili sauce (up to you how hot you wanna make it)
    2,5 dl cream
    2 tablespoons ketchup
    peanuts

    All this makes a creamy and spicy casserole type dish.

    Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Fry the bacon crispy, drain it and when cool, crumble it. Peel and slices the bananas. Place the chicken, bacon and bananas in an oven proof dish. Mix the cream, ketchup (for the sweetness) and the chili sauce (for the spice) and pour it over the chicken. Sprinkle with two handfuls of peanuts. Bake in 175 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes.

    If you don’t like bananas, use pineapple instead.

    Cook some rice and make a salad to go with the casserole.

  27. Tami Winbush says:

    Bachelor Chili

    1 pound of ground meat of choice (turkey, beef, venison, pork, chicken)
    1 can dark red kidney beans
    1 can light red kidney beans
    1 large can diced tomatoes
    1 jar of salsa (if you want hot chili, get hotter salsa, if you want milder chili, get mild salsa)

    Talk the man of your dreams (Sean Connery, he’s one hot old man!) to come in and cook this dish for you since it is Bachelor Chili.  Have him strip down and put on a cute little apron (we don’t want vital parts hurt in this process!).

    Have Sean (or man of your choice) brown the ground meat, in a large soup pot, until cooked.  Drain any residual fat and place back on the stove.  Have him open all of the cans and the jar.  Each of the next 4 ingredients should be thrown in randomly while you are making out with your hot man!  Have him stir, take you upstairs and make while passionate love.  By the time you are done (or if your man is like Sean, who forgot the Viagra, you can eat once you stir!) the chili is done too! 

    Enjoy!

    training66 – that’s good!  cause we have to train the men to cook the chili!

    Chocolate dipped Strawberries of Love

    Ingredients:
    1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (you can substitute all semi-sweet or all milk chocolate according to your own tastes)
    1 tbsp. shortening (do not use butter, margarine, or oil)
    2 pints fresh strawberries, rinsed and patted dry

    Directions:
    Spread fresh waxed paper over tray as though preparing your bed with fresh linens for your lover. Carefully place your deliciously decadent chocolate chips and the shortening in a medium microwave safe bowl. Melt at high for 1 minute. Gently stir as though testing the creaminess of a honey pot; if necessary, heat an additional 30 seconds or until chocolate is creamy and becomes smooth when vigorously agitated. Be ever so careful not to over-heat. One by one, dip each luscious, juicy strawberry into the chocolate until the bottom two-thirds is coated, much like a lover dipping his wick into his woman’s molten passage.  Shake gently to remove excess chocolate. Place on prepared tray.

    Cover and refrigerate approximately 1 hour, or until coating is as firm as you lover’s rampant manroot.

    For best results, share with someone you love within 24 hours.

    Congratulations to you on your 4th anniversay!  What a wonderful, informative fun place you have created here.  Here is to many more years of smart bitchery to come!

    Congratulations, Sarah and Candy! I thought SBTB had been around forever when I stumbled in here a few years ago, having no idea what was doing in the romance world. But look, thanks to the SBs, I’m smarter, I’m better informed and, gosh darn it, I read romance novels. Thanks for the awesomeness!

    Just a simple recipe and I’m not even going to try to compete with the truly sensuous ones above. With an absolute minimum of ingredients and effort, this appetizer is always a huge hit.

    Olive You (olive spread)
    1 small can chopped black olives
    1 jar green olives
    1 half jar roasted red peppers

    Chop green olives and roasted red peppers in a food processor. Combine with black olives in a serving bowl. Serve with crackers, bread, whatever. The spread lasts nearly forever so refrigerate any left over and enjoy.

  30. I’d enter but with my luck I’d win that cookbook. 

    Happy Anniversary!!

    Ridiculously Easy Potatoes

    This one’s a real no-brainer!

    Ingredients:
    Potatoes
    Whatever the hell you feel like
    Butter
    Salt

    Get a sheet of aluminum foil bout a foot long.  Fold in half.

    Wash and slice the potatoes as thin as you can (or feel like).  Less that a centimeter goes best.

    Pile the sliced potatoes onto one side of the folded foil.  Add hunks of butter and a god shake or three of salt.  This is all you really need for awesomeness, but don’t be afraid to add in some extra goodness, like a bit of cooking sherry or garlic pieces or maybe even bacon.  Really, go nuts.  It’s your food.

    After adding all ye desire, fold the foil over and tuck the edges in to make a little pouch.  throw them on a baking sheet (gently, now, you’re gonna wanna eat that later!) and put them in the oven at 375 for about forty minutes. 

    When removing, remember, these will be extremely hot and maybe a little melty if the butter has managed to leak.  They will also be super awesome, and depending on how thin you sliced them, maybe even a little crispy. 

    Enjoy!

    Happy anniversary, SBs! And in honour of your anniversary, I bring you this:

    The Hot-headed Impetuous Sauce of Tomato and The Quivering Eggs of His Desire

    1 can (14 ounces) thick, succulent tomato puree
    1 tablespoon slick, wet olive oil
    1 large turgid clove of garlic, worked by hand until it explodes into a fine mince
    Liberal shower of red pepper flake, crushed in the throes of passion
    Coarse salt and pepper, freshly ground on rock-hard abs
    Pinch of the mysterious herb of lusty Italians and Greek tycoons, oregano
    Splash of rich red wine, dark and deep as a virgin’s blood at her deflowering
    4 large eggs, pale and flawless orbs like the breasts of of one’s mistresses
    4 slices bread, toasted like the sun-browned skin of a salty pirate wench
    Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to cling to the eggs like the filmy gossamer strands of a negligee

    In a small cozy skillet, bring the slick and fragrant olive oil to heated desire by slow burning flames. Add the passionately spent clove of garlic and shower of red pepper flake to the pan, stirring them with a dexterous hand until fragrant and lightly coloured by yearning, about 1 minute. Gently tip can of tomato sauce until contents spill out like seed upon the skillet. Stir lightly until contents of pan heated to bubbling moans of wanton need. To heighten the anticipation, add the splash of red wine, stirring the skillet constantly until contents heated to gentle needy simmer. Season the luscious brew to taste with the salt, pepper, and oregano, and leave the sauce heated and unsatisfied for 20 minutes.

    Caress the eggs gently before thrusting against the rock hard surface of the kitchen counter, breaching their pure orbs with the force of your need and spread them (yolks still intact) onto the bed of bubbling tomato sauce. Leave the quivering eggs to intertwine with the tomato sauce until desired level of hardness is achieved.

    Spread wide on serving platters the slices of bread, toasted like the sun-bronzed shoulders of lusty pirate wenches. Rest gently onto each slice the quivering mound of an egg yolk and top with a thick salty spoonful of the spent tomato sauce. Dress each serving with the tattered remains of a grated Parmesan cheese nightgown ripped in the throes of passion and present to gentlemen (or ladies) of certain voracious appetites.

    Happy Anniversary!

    To celebrate, creamy stovetop mac and cheese, adapted from Alton Brown’s version.

    Jen C’s Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese That Will Totally Make Your Mouth Water

    Boil some water.  Do not watch it boil, but rather, squirm in anticipation just knowing that the water is boiling, and that soon, your mouth will be full of hot and sexy goodness.  While doing so, beat two eggs, half a can of evaporated milk, a dash of mustard powder, and just enough hot, hot sauce to get your blood flowing. 

    Once the water is boiling, throw in a box of rotini noodles.  Boil till firm, oh so firm, and drain.  Stir in half a stick of sinfully rich butter, and mix in your special sauce with an 8 oz bag of Sharp Cheddar over low heat for about as long as you can stand the wait, which is about three minutes.  Finish off with salt and pepper.  If you are feeling feisty, add some onion, broccoli, cauliflower, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or anything else that strikes your fancy. 

    Dish up and enjoy, lustily.  Put your mouth around that firm mac and cheese and experience a feeling previously unknown- bliss.

    My batterie de cuisine is stuffed to the gills, so I’ll cede the field to others, but I did want to wish the Smart Bitches a very happy anniversary!  I don’t know what I’d do without you and your hoydenish website.

  38. On the theory that there’s nothing more diabolically addictive than chocolatey goodness….

    Blissfully Luscious Romance-Lover’s Over-the-Top Chocolate-Squared Cookies

    2-1/2 cups classically versatile (aka all purpose) flour
    1 tsp. utterly pure baking soda
    1/2 tsp. blindingly white table salt

    2/3 cup fresh-from-the-dairy unsalted butter, softened to a delicate texture
    1 cup absolutely uniformly granulated snow-white sugar
    1/2 cup burnished bronze (aka brown) sugar, packed like your hero’s abs
    1 tsp. officially authenticated vanilla extract

    2 large, perfectly laid eggs

    1 12-ounce package piquantly accented (aka semi-sweet) chocolate chips
    1 10-12 ounce package of seasonally appropriate milk chocolate M&Ms;*

    Oven: A blazing 350 degrees   Makes:/b> about 6 dozen fiendishly tempting cookies

    Using the fires of romantic passion (or a conveniently available microwave oven), transform the chocolate chips from tiny bursts of solid flavor to a state of rich liquid goodness, stir until wonderfully smooth, and set them aside.

    Using the precision and care of a square-jawed yet supremely gifted surgeon, measure and combine the virginal white ingredients (that is, the flour, the baking soda, and the salt) in a suitably compact bowl.  Set those patiently aside as well.

    Using the energy of a feisty heroine hell-bent on achieving her ultimate goal (or, if necessary, the raw unbridled power of an electric mixer), combine the butter, the snow-white and bronze sugars, and the officially authenticated vanilla extract (none of this fly-by-night “imitation” nonsense) in a distinctly larger bowl.  Subject these ingredients to violent nonstop assault until they have lost all cohesion and joined in an unholy union of homogenous consistency (i.e. beat until smooth).  To this mass of buttery and highly sweetened goodness, add the rich liquid chocolate goodness and the eggs.  Resume your violent assault, further raining a severe beating on the newly combined ingredients, until these too have joined their fellows in glorious cookie-dough unity.  With the calculating patience of a lover delaying her partner’s gratification (that is, gradually), blend in the virginal white ingredients until complete unity is finally achieved.  Note that this last step may overtax the powers of a mere hand mixer, requiring the timely intervention of an old-fashioned but sturdy wooden spoon.

    Finally (and by hand, to avoid chopping them into painfully sharp shards of oblivion), expertly fold in the seasonally appropriate M&Ms;until they totally permeate the dough with their colorful candy-coated goodness.

    Stand back for a moment to strengthen your resolve, then pick up your handy chef-approved cookie teaspoon, suspend individual spoonfuls of the by-now-utterly-subservient dough (well, after all those beatings, it should be!) over cookie sheets uncorrupted by any hint of unnecessary lubrication,** and drop them into position.  Subject the globs of brutally raw dough to 8-9 minutes in the fires of your preheated furnace of love (the oven, of course; what did you think I meant?).  Once removed from the fiery furnace, wait an excruciating 2-3 minutes before transferring each batch of hot fresh-baked lusciousness to a wire rack to cool.

    *This recipe can be profitably varied depending on the time of year.  Right now, red-and-pink Valentine M&Ms;are appropriate, but at Halloween, you’ll want the orange-and black Halloween version, and at Christmas, look for packages of mint-chocolate M&Ms;for an extra touch of wintry wonder.

    **Yes, well, you did ask for purple.

  39. Also, happy anniversary!  Despite being a very recent arrival in these parts, I’ve been enjoying the reviews and appreciating the sensible genre-wisdom, and hope to be following this space for a long time to come.

    All right, I can’t believe I just typed that….
