REVENGE IS BEST SERVED WARM
Dumped by your oh-so significant other? BFF steal your one-and-only? Lab partner a more-than-periodic no-show?
Don’t take these battles online, people. (Seriously, don’t do that, ok?) Instead, take all that frustration, jealousy, and I-want-to-rip-your-heart-out-and-feed-it-to-my-freaking-Pekingese murderous anger into the kitchen.
Because despite what you’ve heard, revenge is best served warm.
That’s right, all you Burned and Beaten Down, get out your heaviest rolling pins, sharpest cleavers, and most blistering torches, and kill your enemies & exes… with kindness. Or at least bake them some killer cakes.
And no, I’m not talking about baking a Mr. Yuk-face-approved, Come on, have a bite, Snow White,
poisonous apple pie. I’m talking about the real deal: 100% delicious AF cakes, cookies, and candies. (Oh my!) I’m talking about consciously choosing to be generous and to make fat, happy things, even for the worst of the worst.
Why? Because kindness is rare, folks. It’s radical. Like baking, kindness takes time, energy, and effort, and those efforts are wholeheartedly returned. Trust me, they are. Somehow, they always are. For me, those returns have been absolute happiness, in all its dippy, dumb, lovely, joyful glory.
I hope the same for you.
So, come on. Stop your bitchin’ and get in that kitchen. Bake that loser ex a half dozen D-Bagels or a pan of Go Fudge Yourself. Gift your former friend a You’re the Devil Food Cake or a What a Piece of Sheet Cake. And give that waste of O2 a scoop of When I Think of Us, Ice Cream. Let them taste your post-them happiness, and see what comes next…
Now that’s some SWEET REVENGE.
Kindly,
GRAB LIFE BY THE MILK BALLS
aka: How to Use This Book
aka: WTF is Sweet Revenge?
Fyi:
Before we go any further, full disclosure: this is a cookbook. Like, for real. For real-real even. Let’s just get that straight from the get-go, ok?
This isn’t, for example, some kind of Dr. Love’s Guide to Discovering Your Whole Delicious Self (which you most certainly should). Nor is this the Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Your Teenage Life (#messy4lyfe) or the Ultimate Path to Finding Your True Soul Mate (unless your true soul mate
just happens to be chocolate cake, then yeah, maybe…).
This book is not your therapist. Or your friend. Or even a *SHRIEK!* parent. This book should never — I mean, NEVER-EVER — be considered a substitute for IRL relationship advice and/or counseling.
Because, all together now: THIS. IS. A. COOKBOOK.
* * And that concludes today’s public service announcement * *
That said, here’s some advice: You can’t hate-tweet your ex when you’re knuckles-deep in molasses. (Okay sure, technically, you could. But your 140-character declaration of
always-and-forever, one-and-only love will most certainly get you in an even stickier mess — and/or cost you a new iPhone.)
I mean, think about it, baking is the perfect outlet for all that pent-up, stood-up-in-a-McDonald’s-parking-lot-on-prom-night-in-an-overpriced-backless-dress RAAAGGE.
Baking takes thought, exactitude, and above all else… patience. (Ever try waiting for lava cake to cool? That’s a serious Jedi mind trick right there.)
Some people even call baking a science. But maybe we should think of it as taste-bud meditation, Pilates for your papillae, or — better yet — kitchen kickboxing! Where else can you BEAT, WHIP, POUND, and CREAM something without risking serious OITNB (but in a way-less-funny way) jail time?
Seriously, if you consider yourself a glutton for punishment in relationships, then consider baking the glutton’s reward.
You can’t hate-tweet your ex when you’re knuckles-deep in molasses.
Yeah, yeah… blah, blah, blah… You didn’t crack the spine of this book for some keep-your-hands-in-the-cookie-dough,stay-busy-and-stay-happy type of sage advice. You came here to, well, crack some spines, right? You came here for one thing and one thing only: R-E-V-E-N-G-E.
And that’s exactly what you’re gonna get.
You see, there are two types of SWEET REVENGE — and, not coincidentally, two ways to use this book.
Option #1: Instead of the high road, take the pie road.
These two things are basically one and the same. It’s a best-foot-forward, lemon-squares-out-of-lemons, gray-skies-are-gonna-clear-up-so-put-on-a-happy-face way of thinking. A smile-to-their-face and then stab-’em-in-the back mentality.
Now some people might say this type of passive-aggressive nature isn’t healthy. That if you keep bottling up, swallowing all your emotions, they’ll eventually — KA-BOOM!! — explode like a two-ton atom bomb, rippling through through your Twitter feed and singeing the filtered dog-nose whiskers off your Snapchat followers.
SWEET REVENGE isn’t about bottling up your feelings. The opposite, in
