But no matter where you go it’s hard to break into that without published works. So in addition to my regular submittals, I need to start publishing recipes, restaurant reviews etc.

So where to begin.

Holidays are always fun and really an easy target to begin with. There is so much potential.

Not only because you get to cook, but think about the possibilities. You could possibly burn the meal or maybe if you are really daring burn down your house and let us now forget cause arguments, How about those over full stomachs, see it’s a good place to start.

Usually the first holiday that starts the argument season, is Thanksgiving. And yes we will call it the argument season because anytime you get the family together, guess what, arguments, yelling, fist fights, blood, fire or a combination of these is bound to ensue.

Lets look at what really happens. Your family is chosen for this years battle royal.

Everyone begins to arrive and it starts.

You get criticized for how you cook the family dinner, fist fights( cat fights too) can erupt, you fight with your mother in law, family members complain that they can’t eat what you have cooked, it may get burned, under done or the continued comment is "its not like I make" and the faces are made. And the gauntlet is thrown down.

You just want to hide in a closet with that expensive bottle of wine you bought or head out to Burger King for a quiet meal while the ice and snow pile up and you’re out of the house. Possibly stuck in town, yippie!

Maybe if your lucky the police and an ambulance might be called or a fire truck as the turkey deep fryer exploded and burned the siding off your house. Everyone has to go home now.

Perhaps you tried that stuff a quail inside a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey thing of ancient feasts. You do realize that is hard to get done in a home oven.

Some might be adventurous and have a pit dinner. Hiring a small backhoe and digging a pit in the backyard to roast a pig, cow side or even a few chickens or turkeys on an open spit they way the did it back then. Or maybe you have rescued the day by calling the local pizza parlor and getting a stack delivered. To which you will be the best ever in kid’s eyes! But your in-laws are having a hissy fit. And what memories have you made.

Was it the underdone salmonella turkey that you purposefully fed to your mother in law because she kept opening the oven and not letting it cook??

Was it the oyster stuffing that gave everyone the runs? Oh how about those hubby made beer batter blooming onion that also had vodka in it and everyone got plastered?

I know it’s the divided house football teams fisticuffs and your living room is now trashed and your cat is hiding upstairs in the bathroom.

Was it these that made the first family get together of the year so memorable.

Yes argument season is a colorful, mostly a red season.

And what if anything do you get out of all this?

That when it’s all over, the satisfaction knowing that next year you are not doing again, maybe.

　 Here my friends is the first recipe to celebrate that Argument season.

Quick chocolate Black Forest Cake This elegant dessert takes a short time to make and even shorter to eat. But it looks elegant. Maybe Chocolate has notes to sooth the savage beast…… your mom in law.

1 Box Duncan Hines devils food cake mix

1 can Cherry Pie filling

1 Container Cool Whip

Sprinkles Dragees

2 bottle Deep Chocolate magic Shell

Half and half

Extra eggs

Coca powder

2 quart saucepan (steel or aluminum)

Butter flavored Spray

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Prepare the cake mix with these exceptions:

Use half and half to replace 1/3 cup water and omit 1/3 cup water

Add an extra egg to replace that 1/3 cup water.

Add three tablespoons of coca to the cake mix to make it extra chocolaty.

Mix the batter in a deep bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. 　

Spray the 2-Quart saucepan/pot with butter spray. Pour the batter into the pot and shake out bubbles.

Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the cake cool near an open window

Once cool flip out onto a plate, Right side down to so the bottom is now on top. Using a long knife or cake cutter cut the cake in half.

Spoon the black cherry pie filling on the center of the bottom half of the cake and to with the other half.

Chill the cake slightly.

Shake up the bottle of magic shell very well.

Remove the cake from the fridge and drizzle the magic shell over the cake creating icing. You want to cover the entire cake. It will look like a giant petitfore.

Dollop whipped topping on top of cake. Then drizzle more magic shell and sprinkle with dragees and some left over cherries of you have any. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
