Sugarplums
December 23, 2025
“A perfect piece of pink cake
complicating perfection’s tendency to falter.
Who left it on the counter? Who walked through the room
as though through a composition?”

“There are marshmallows, gumdrops, and peppermint canes,
With stripings of scarlet or gold,
And you carry away of the treasure that rains,
As much as your apron can hold!”

“But then the first page is turned.
The doughnut scent of it all, knowledge,
The aroma of coffee being made
In all those books, something for everyone,
The deli offerings of civilization itself.”

And ice cream pressed in cake;
Peanuts parched fresh and hot,
And a lot of fine milk shakes.”

If the party is small a clever song is in order.”

For day 14, I finally made sugar plums! I’ve had the ingredients for a while, but I’ve been busy dealing with life. They aren’t as good as I think they could be. Maybe more spices? 🤔

And it’s immediate—no talk of potential
Regarding a pie. It’s good
Or it isn’t, but mostly it is—sweet, very sweet”

🍬✨ Visions of sugarplums…but what are they, really?
They're aren’t plums at all. In old times, they were a luxury treat, and they danced through Christmas history in more ways than one. 🎄 Hear all about it in this episode from 2016. Link in the Bio

No #Nutcracker allowed near these big boys, but my plums certainly smell like #SugarPlums at the moment.
