I can rationalize Cake

[primsong]

Spent yesterday and today packing and hauling and driving etc. to help in the end of year college-kids-come-home thing, very grateful to sit down for a few minutes... until memories of a slice of chocolate cake I saw at a cafe kept coming back to haunt me. A Ghost of Dessert that May Have Been.

Baked a chocolate cake. Rationalized it as being a 'sort of holiday' because there was moving boxes involved and after all, it was 'kind of healthy' (non-fat, with fructose to boot). With extra chocolate. Lots of it. Daaarrrk chocolate.

It is now dinner time and all I have cooked for my family is a large chocolate cake.

Um. Yeah. Heh.

Nature's perfect food

[elij_0650]

Wheat, eggs, milk, all good things yes? What more would they need?

I cooked enthusiastically 4 nights ago making many dishes at one time. All that food should have lasted longer than 3 days but all that is left in the fridge is a few meat balls. So much for planning ahead...

I know, right? And why is it when you need leftovers to be used up so they won't rot, they sit there for days and days BUT when you need them to last a while, they vanish?

They subsisted on tinned soup and salad mix - with cake, of course - so far everyone is still alive. The Nutrition Gods of my long ago Home Ec classes are frowning, though. :-D

But... but... It's chocolate! Ambrosia itself! That alone makes for a perfect dinner.

"Vitamin C" takes on a new meaning in this context, haha!
