Oh, to be 13 again

This video brought up many thoughts/questions for me...

Who gets THAT into American Idol?

Those girls are really obnoxious.

Do they know that they're being filmed?

I'm sure glad I was never like that.

Wait, was I like that?

Hope you enjoy.

In order to help out the folks on my favorite radio show TBTL, and because I have an obsession compulsion to come up with new and creative ways to best myself in the kitchen, I have put together a little recipe for single serving (although I think it should actually serve 2) chocolate cake in a mug.

1. Spray your mug. Large mugs work best.

2 Add the following:

4 T self-rising flour
4 T sugar
1 T plus a bit of cocoa powder (not hot chocolate mix--I'm sure this is what made us sick, 9 T was a lot of powder)

3. Stir very well with a fork.

4. Add:

1 egg
2 T water
2 T oil

5. Microwave for 3 minutes.

6. Get it out of the mug quick, then get water in the mug, or you'll regret it.

I really suggest sharing this delightful confection with a friend, it's really too much for one.
