MorningStar Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Apparently I'm suffering a fit of compassion:MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE 1 Coffee Mug4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising)4 tablespoons sugar2 tablespoons baking cocoa1 egg3 tablespoons milk3 tablespoons oil3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)Small splash of vanilla Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well . Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!) (If you want the molten cake variety, you can swirl in a long drizzle of Hershey's chocolate syrup before baking). I have all of those ingredients right now. Not sure how to microwave at 1000 watts. Would that be on high? Quote
selek Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Mmmm.......fudge brownies warm out of the oven with french vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Breakfast of champions.... Quote
MorningStar Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Yes, microwave on high. Good, it won't let me change the power to medium. Quote
MorningStar Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Who changed my thread title? Quote
MorningStar Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 I just had some homemade hot chocolate with candycane whipped cream and a little drizzle of chocolate syrup on top of that. Quote
Guest Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Who changed my thread title?I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. Quote
MorningStar Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. You cannot confirm or deny that it was you? Quote
Guest Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 You cannot confirm or deny that it was you?That depends on what your definition of "is" is. Quote
selek Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Just to demonstrate how ugly this could get, I attended a shindig with a hundred or so friends- and helped cater the desserts. We had a cheesecake bar: key lime, New York-style, plain, and Peanut Butter cheesecake. For toppings we had hot fudge, caramel, strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry sauces. I have recipes on hand for Coconut Cream, Banana Crean, Cream-Cheese Pecan, Pumpkin, Dutch Apple, and Strawberry Chiffon Pie. This won't be Mutual Assured Destruction- this will be full caloric annihilation. Quote
Guest Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 This orange is awesome! I'm doing a 55-minute Turbo Fire workout tonight. That should be awesome, too. Quote
Wingnut Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I just had some homemade hot chocolate with candycane whipped cream and a little drizzle of chocolate syrup on top of that.My four-year-old likes hot chocolate, but she doesn't do well with the heat, so she usually asks for "tepid chocolate" (which is really funny to hear her say). A few weeks ago, I made her some regular hot chocolate and dropped a scoop of peppermint ice cream in it to help cool it off. It was good. :) Quote
MorningStar Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 That depends on what your definition of "is" is. Bill Clinton quote caused loss of appetite. Chocolate craving cured. Quote
selek Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Okay....apparently the Bugs Bunny link was a mistake.I can't say I'm now fatally distracted......but my afternoon just got a lot less productive. Quote
Guest Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I have many happy memories of watching Bugs Bunny with my dad on Saturday mornings. The best part was his laugh. I don't think I'll let myself get sucked in to that youtube abyss. Edited January 30, 2013 by Eowyn Quote
Smudge Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 why am I torturing myself reading this thread???? I love chocolate but I am trying to loose weight and therefore have totally cut down my chocolate consumption (not given it up completely) but today when I was out shopping it seemed like everywhere I looked there was chocolate and I struggled so hard not buy it all and to be good and buy fruit instead - and I am volunarily torturing myself by reading all your talk of chocolate! I think it would be easier if I lived in the USA because I don't really like american chocolate. Quote
Vort Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 I think it would be easier if I lived in the USA because I don't really like american chocolate.Why? Are you paraffin-intolerant? Quote
Smudge Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Parraffin intolerant? I have just spent alot of time in the USA and have discovered that other than really expensive chocolates I am don't like many american chocolate types - there are a few I like but in comparisson to how many British types of chocolate it is almost none - and because of that I didn't crave chocolate as much while I was working in the USA and going out shopping, as it just didn't have the same temptation!

classylady Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Last night, I found a bag of Lindor chocolate truffles that I had purchased awhile back and forgotten about. I had just shoveled 18 inches of snow from our driveway and sidewalks. It was the perfect treat! Edited February 1, 2013 by classylady Quote
applepansy Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Caramels Recipe - Allrecipes.comThis is the recipe we used to make caramels for Christmas in December. Easy and really good recipe. Can't mess it up unless burn it. Quote
rameumptom Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 I could work chocolate into any lesson. Pretty sure. But would you have shared? Quote
MorningStar Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Posted January 31, 2013 But would you have shared? NO!Well, maybe I would if the lesson were on charity. Unless I did an object lesson where I don't share the chocolate to show how annoying it is when people aren't charitable. "LET THAT BE A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU!" Quote
dahlia Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Surely I am going to Outer Darkness - I ate the valentine's candy I was going to send to my elder. Now I will have to buy some more. Quote
Bini Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 "Life is a box of chocolates, and my name is Forrest Gump!" That's a lyrical line from The Lonely Island's spoof on Jack Sparrow with Michael Bolton. This thread reminded me of that song. Ha ha. Quote
