Never, ever the C-Word
Occasionally, I link back to my blog, which contains the worst writing on the internet.™
I tend to be profane in my writing, but for 11 months a year, I will use various symbol characters to obscure the expletives that I use so as to protect the f%$#ing sensibilities of my reader(s) and sh%$ like that.
But not in January.
January is for me, “Say F%$# January,” though obviously it is not here, because writing that way here would make me an even bigger jerk than I already am.
I started doing Say F%$# January 4 years ago, specifically on January 6, 2001.
The reason for starting this is obvious for anyone who has a modicum of awareness of recent history. If you don't, well, your medication is TOO STRONG.
So, please understand that if I link back to a relatively recent blog post in the next 31 days, the possibility of encountering non-expurgated profanities is statistically significant. (I will warn you)
As an aside, as I am writing this, I have been sampling a cordial that I made based on the oldest European recorded recipe for chocolate, which is why I am probably writing this. (Project Gutenberg link to the first English translation of the Spanish original is at the like as well)
Recipe (without any profanity) is at the link, and it uses cacao nibs, anatto, anise seed, (If you have to substitute star anise, use it sparingly, it is far stronger and harsher) capsicum peppers, sugar, almonds, hazel nuts, vanilla, and rum.
According to the original recipe, this chocolate drink, “Vehemently Incites to Venus, and causeth Conception in women, hastens and facilitates their Delivery.” (Chocolate is funny that way)
My redaction of the recipe is after the break: (How the heck did I start writing about profanity and end up sharing a recipe for chocolate?)
