So life is fine. I love weekends and I love when the weather makes it bareable to sit outside and drink a good beer (or few).
My mom sent me this in email today and so I tried it:
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (micro Safe)
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 extract, 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.
Then EAT!
(This can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
It's good, it needs a few tweeks. I need to cook it less and somehow find a way to make the chocolate chips dispurse throughout, rather than just stay in the bottom. I just love the fact that I can make chocolate cake in the microwave in mug.
I've taken to reading the author Douglas Coupland. I started reading "All families are Psychotic" at Trevor's last weekend. Today I just took out "The Gum Theif". I enjoy how he analyzes the regular and makes it seem so interesting...
I would say more about work, but I'd rather not. I've decided that this is the place of my own interests and my professional ones can stay at school. I am enjoying teaching, but am looking forwards to two months off.
Life is good. I've been sitting on the deck all day, drinking beer, and reading. I've also been bike riding. I like the spring/summer.
