Chocolate Mug Cake
Soooooo easy and tasty!!!
Recipe
In a mug combine:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup white sugar
2 TBSP Cocoa
Mix well then add:
1 egg
mix thouroughly then add:
3 TBSP Milk
3 TBSP Oil
2-3 drops vanilla flavor
mix it all together really well, scrape the sides to make sure you get all the dry ingredients.
If you want a stronger chocolate flavor add 3 TBSP of Chocolate chips and mix them in too (if you REALLY want to live on the edge substitue peanut butter chips).
Cook in Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
You can eat it out of the mug OR scrape around the edges and dump it out onto a plate. If you want room for ice cream in the mug use a bigger/taller mug.

Sharkbait Barbie
Hehehehe...I had a little to much fun making this cake for Austins 14th birthday. He came up with the concept and I thought "Feed Barbie to the Sharks..What a GREAT idea!!" I may have some deep seeded Barbie issues...that witch... I digress..
The cake inside was a Red Velvet Cake, I had never made one before but I thought that a deep red cake was the only way to go for a shark feeding frenzy so I got a recipe off the internet (I just made the cake not the icing from this recipe) and was pleasantly surprised by the cake. For those of you, like me, who have never had it before it is a very rich moist slightly chocolaty VERY red cake, kinda a cross between a brownie and a cake for texture. Very yummy and a little slice will do ya because that sucker is RICH. The kids all thought it was great, and my goal in life is to make the kids in my life happy after all....lol.

Book Tag
Boy are you lucky I'm reading Nora Roberts right now=) Not intellectual, just good reading=)
Page 56, 5th , 6th and 7th sentences
The Pagan Stone
Nora Roberts
"Undead. We know now that it can take the form of someone who's died. What if it isn't ,as we thought a new trick, but an ability it had before Dent imprisoned it, and it is only now, as what we're told is the final Seven approaches, able to pull out of it's hat again?"
