Vice Box

by Vince Taplin

Recipe: Add 2 married people. Mix 1 tbsp cheating and 8 cups of murder. Add 6 grams of drugs, a sploosh of vanilla, and snarky, unlikable characters. Whip in 4 teaspoons of jealousy. Blend until spouses turn from passive aggressive to a slurry of spying and distrust. Bake at 375 degrees until sexual frustration, odd infatuation, lowbrow humor, and Vella becomes firm. Serve chilled with sarcasm and mimosas.
