with a “Touch of Love”

Caught on Dispo 📸

light traffic road with Destin Conrad in the speakeeerr.. of a phone cause this 14 year-old radio been busted since August, of Last year. Slow whine of the window to let the sharp cold wind take over my finger tips; numbing the phalanges and freezing the forehead. Never thought to bring mits.18 years in the hot state so no way they could ever make a right fit.

Hrs & Hrs comes playing over n over in my head, but instead I wanna put years back in the place I belong. Where I was fed with everything I needed, the bad foods and the greatest.

Banana bread was the best though.

Crumb after crumb, tore that thang up like it was my last meal, every trip. 18 years… 18 years in the hot state so there’s no way I thought I could replace it.

I found the best spot; park, lock, strolling. sweater and sweatpants cause it’s been 40 degrees all morning. Man and his wife shivering and shaking, makin a living off of delectables I never seen glorified like this.

Sweet Potato Rum Cake, butter cream, with a “touch of love” in each bite. When you hear “love” in the recipe, I never really see a miss. This one is part of that collection, cause after 18 years of bread.. I’ve fallen in love with it. Crumb after crumb, I tore that thang up, this one is just.. just.. man needed this. Heart struck, mouth watering for so much more, listen. This one is a chef’s kiss.
