I wish I lived high in the mountains so that I could be pleasantly surprised to discover that despite the altitude I don’t have to adjust the recipe for my Bisquick pancakes.

Five-Minute Chocolate Cake
This recipe for a five-minute chocolate “cup” cake that you cook in a microwave works, and it works well. I mean, if I can make it, then it must be idiot-proof.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. cake flour
- 4 tbsp. sugar
- 2 tbsp. cocoa
- 1 Egg
- 3 tbsp. milk
- 3 tbsp. oil
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Mug
Instructions
- Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa.
- Spoon in one egg.
- Pour in milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Put in microwave for 3 minutes.
- Let it sit before flipping over the mug to release your cake.
This would serve at least two people. I cut it into fourths, and topped it with ice cream.

Joy got her stitches and that nose support out today. Look how cute she is!
Bless her heart. The girl taking my order at El Pollo Loco spelled my name, “Cley,” on the the check.
The price is a little steep, but the service at Taco Hut on Grove in Ontario is beyond compare. I highly recommend it. Plus the staff is cute.
My biggest convenience purchase is McD’s near where I’m getting an oil change.
Guh. Diet Pepsi is nasty. But I still drank it. I’m a sucker for punishment.
I made myself some Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup today on the stove. There was enough for two bowls. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off the stove after I served myself the first bowl, and I took my sweet time getting back to the pot for the second bowl— CSI: New York was wrapping up a case. When I went back for seconds, I discovered that I had created a Chicken Noodle reduction. It wasn’t that bad, but the chicken/noodle to broth ratio was definitely off

Appropriate for hot dates,
