Odd Bird, Good Duck...

As I said on Saturday in the chat, I made soup. I really should learn how to make smaller pots of soup, but I always figure since I make it how I like it, and I like soup so much, it works out.


I actually just put the whole pot in the fridge last night, since there was so much left in it. I heated it back up for dinner tonight, and added in some pre-done meatballs I had to give it some more meat.


This is what I mean about I only know how to make big pots of soup. I already had a 2 or 3 bowls, filled that bowl to put away, and had to get another bowl to finish emptying the pot so I could wash it. Lucky I like it, unlike moms big posts of chillu or pork&saurkraut that sit uneaten as leftovers....


Tonight I felt like cake.


You don't suppose I like chocolate much, do'ya?


I glazed it with a bottled glaze, cause I just wanted cake, not fancy schmancy XD.


And now I take my cake and go to enjoy it in all its chocolatey glory!



Oh wait, I already did that ;D

Monkey Cake.

one "serving" is worth about 5 cups of coffee..., yet it leads to a far faster and heavier crash than said 5 cups of coffee.

side effects include teeth that feel like they each have a little fur coat.

your chest aches from all the butter in it.

an inability to close your eyes for more than 2 seconds.

those jitters you get after too much coffee, just that one serving.....



and despite all this, I'm tempted to go have more.

I think I'll try and go de-fur my teeth though, mint kills food appeal long enough to have it cool off and not seem as appetizing, Monkey Cake is best right out of the oven.

*edit*

For those curious what Monkey Cake is, here's a picture of the remnants of today's.



little balls of dough, rolled in butter and sugar, and backed in a pan.
