My bf bought these tea flowers with the cup and saucer set for me some time ago and I never got around to taking pictures. It's delicious tea from Adagio, and if you use that link, you'll get 5% off your purchase. I don't know how long the promotion is going though.

Since this is the third time within two weeks that I have made this cake, I decided to just post a pic of the Alton Brown double boiler method for melting the chocolate and butter. It's basically a glass mixing bowl over a sauce pan of hot water. Mr. Brown used a stainless steel mixing bowl, but I gave mine to my sister, so I just used what I have. The method works well and saves money and space that an actual double boiler would have taken.

Plus cake and ice cream, because I had a rough day


The following conversation I had with my bf and our friend cheered me up considerably.

me: Are you guys gonna have any more tacos? I can open the other box of shells.
RV: I don't think I'm gonna have another one...
bf: Oh, and there's dessert!
RV: Dessert? What dessert?
me: Cake
bf: You remember that cake I brought in [to work] that was almost like a brownie?
RV: You mean the anchovylove-is-amazing cake?

This was the last of my taco seasoning and I couldn't make more because I'm out of chili powder. I posted the cake recipe a couple days ago.

I woke up one day with a big craving for this, but I couldn't find the pan for it at any of the stores around here. So I ordered it online and waited.

For my brother. Recipe here.

He said he didn't want cake, but I had to fill that 4th bowl with something. ^_^

Not my favorite picture, but since the lighting was bad, it was the best I could do...

The last of my 99c cake mix.

This is leftover smoked salmon soba and chocolate cake. I'll definitely need some chocolate after my midterm tomorrow x_x

Also: I didn't cook dinner so my brother went out to eat. Now I feel guilty.

Straight from the box. I added chocolate chunks but I think they just melted. It's still really tasty, and no need for frosting ^_^

My baked goods never turn out pretty, but they are always tasty! ^_^

I needed something to make with the leftover oranges we had from the Phoenix Cinnamon Buns. This orange cake did the trick, but they finished it last night at the party. T_T
