Happiness is a man of maximum practical application

 

... His father, Ed Gelvin, was more diversified. Over the years, he had become, it seems safe to say, as much as anyone in Alaska an example of what Steve Ulvi has in mind when he speaks so admiringly of "the man of maximum practical application". Mining, as it happened, was what first drew Ed and his wife, Ginny, into the country. ... Trapper, sawyer, pilot, plumber, licensed big-game guide, welder, ironworker, mechanic, carpenter, builder of boats and sleds, he suffered no lack of occupation. ...

Happiness is a truly gluten-free chocolate cake that you would swear is a real chocolate cake

 

I saw this on @emmymade.

The recipe belongs to The Pancake Princess. 

I mixed everything in a food processor. I used melted butter, beans I cooked myself, and plain old Hershey's Cocoa. I baked it in a 24cm Pyrex pie plate oiled with avocado oil. Just let it cool right in there. You can haul it that way to a party. The frosting isn't necessary. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar right before serving as you like. Or not. It's plenty sweet just the way it is.

Eat it for breakfast. You will not be hungry all morning, and you will be happy.
