A Recipe For Success

I am pretty sure that I am a genius, and I think I have proof. First of all, last weekend Sketchy and I drove from the Baltimore-Washington Metroplex to Key West for, basically, a beer and then took in a Spring Training game (see Kickin’ Back). Second, I’ve make the bold lifestyle choice of being a Pretend Millionaire . But that’s all really beside the point. Here’s why I am a genius. I have invented the ultimate culinary delight: Candy Bar Juice.

That’s right. Candy Bar Juice. I can just hear you now slapping your forehead exclaiming, "why the fuck didn’t I think of that?! It’s so obvious!". Well, duh. Think about it- it puts the joy of candy bars into the easy to consume and most pleasurable format of juice. It is obvious.

Yes, obvious it is. But, it might be just a little more nuanced than one might think. Let’s explore it just a tad, shall we? Just what is the recipe for Candy Bar Juice? Charleston Chews and OJ? No dummy. Stop being so stupid. If you’re not going to take this seriously, don’t know why I’m sharing this with you. It’s a masterstroke and you are just sitting there mocking it. Knock it off.

Alright. Candy Bar Juice. Here’s my recipe:

Ingredients:
A Bunch of Candy Bars
Hershey’s Syrup

Instructions:
Put ingredients in blender. Sleuce it up good. Enjoy.

See, it’s so easy! Why did nobody think of this earlier? You might be thinking- well that’s just chunky chocolate sauce. Well, you are so wrong, buster. It’s way more than that. It’s Candy Bar Juice! See, the wonderful thing about it is that you can vary the ingredients to suit your taste. You can go with Mounds, or Almond Joy, or even Heath Bars if you are insane. You can also vary the amount of syrup to suit the desired viscosity of the concoction- runny to thick and sludgy.

I mentioned this brilliant recipe to Dr, Sketchy in a meeting not to long ago and he thought it was rather disgusting. He obviously lack vision. I think it’s obvious why I’m CEO and he’s not (I can breathe fire and smash cities to smithereens). Anyhow, he found this concoction to be rather revolting. I was considering punching him out, but then he proposed a rather subtle recipe change. He suggested that the candy bars be compresses, much like making olive oil. There is merit to this idea, since it eliminates the need for the Hershey’s Syrup, which was quite frankly the weak point of the recipe. But nuts to that I say. It would take too much time! I want my Candy Bar Juice now! Forget Fresh squeeze when you can get it a million times faster from concentrate. It’s too much work, anyhow.

Now I haven’t actually made myself a nice brimming pitcher of Candy Bar Juice yet. I haven’t been in the "right mood" lately, if you know what I mean. And I think you do. Right. Anyhow, with Spring quickly approaching I’m sure I’ll feel the need to fall into an immediate and overpowering sugar comma. I always do.

So, you can clearly see that I am a genius. There is no doubt. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go practice wearing my sombrero. It’s almost spring and it’s not going to wear itself.
