My hair is gnarly today.
My hair is gnarly today only because I haven’t brushed it in four days. Classy, I know. You don’t have to tell me.
Classy versus not classy. Let’s discuss.
Classy: a floral summer sundress. Not classy: tight leather pants.
Classy: one glass of wine. Okay, maybe two. Not classy: being the only one drunk off an entire bottle of wine. No, I’ve never done this.
Classy: BBC and NPR as computer bookmarks. Not classy: E News and hour-by-hour updates on the Kardashians as computer bookmarks.
Classy: perfectly combed straight hair. Not classy: gnarly hair.
And what the heck do vegan fudge pops have to do with anything?
Let’s be a little bit classy. We’re using coconut milk today. Pairing coconut with dark chocolate is always a win win situation. That’s right. I said it. Add some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tid bit of cardamon and you’ve got yourselves a flavor boost that’s everyone’s business.
What happens next is a simple heat, stir, pour, and freeze. Let’s be easy here. After all, it is summer.
