Chocolate Sheep Delivery



A surprise delivery today came from my sis-inlaw in BRRR cold Chewelah, WA. She found a funny knitting book by Franklin Habit as well as a chocolate sheep in Winthrop, WA and sent them to me as a surprise! Well I did taste the sheep over and over again,so...he is no more! He was a sweet ending to a long day. Thanks, Jean!

Three Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Sent to me by my friend, Joy, this is a dangerous cake recipe that can be made in three minutes!
In a mug, mix: 4 Tablespoons flour, 4 Tablespoons sugar (seemed like alot), 2 Tablespoons cocoa

Add 1 egg and stir it in well. Stir in 3 Tablespoons oil and 3 Tablespoons milk (don't forget the milk!) and a splash of vanilla.I added a square of Scharfen Berger chocolate at this point. You can add in 3 Tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)Microwave for 3 minutes on power level 8. Let cool a bit...

Since I was a doofus and forgot to add the milk, I had to get a knife to loosen it out of mug.
Served with ice cream and shared with hubby!
It came out really well even if I did forget to add the milk! It was drier than it would've been otherwise. Will do for fun with the office ladies tomorrow. THEN the diet begins!

Scharffen Berger Day

And it's not a bad name for a chocolate bar either...Maybe it should be called "Snarffen Berger"... This is the kind of afternoon we are having here. Can you see the rain pelting down in torrential downpour fashion? It is June, folks! Where's the sun? I bought a bar of my favorite dark chocolate (loaded with antioxidants, mind you!) Then the checker dude forgot to put it in my cart! Can you believe that?? What with the price of gas nowadays, do you think I wanted to drive ALL the way back to the store to get my chocolate bar? You bet your sweet dark 62 % cocao, I sure did!
It's a perfect evening for reading, scrapping or knitting! Take your pick... Definitely not barbequeing like friends in the warmer states! Oh yeah, this is the Evergreen State! I forgot. I think I will go console myself now with my "Snarffen Berger" chocolate!
