Visit your local library! I had to get some stuff for school, and as I was walking through the library lobby I saw the boxes by the door just chock-full of magazines they had weeded out. I got a bunch of Martha Stewart ones, an Oprah one, and a Rachel Ray one. I’m set for my Wealthy Life Coaches collection. I got them for free! (If it’s free – it’s me!) The only drawback to these are that somebody has gone through them before and cut out a bunch of stuff, so I can’t get too invested in an article. It might not end.Â
Well, it just so happens that the other night I had a strange hankering for something chocolatey. In the Rachel Ray magazine there was a recipe for a cup-of-chocolate-death kind of thing. I decided to try to make it.Â
It required two tablespoons of double-strength coffee (done), one teaspoon of brandy (which I don’t have, so I used wine), three ounces of melted chocolate (but I have the squeezy tubes, so that’s easier), and then knocking the bowl over with your hand while you squeeze out the last tube.Â
I think it turned out pretty well, don’t you?

Wine as a substitue for brandy?!? Silly Lauren. But I think you have that “knock the bowl over” technique down really well. Congratulations!

Those ingredients sound awesome -- I would have licked it right off the counter. Did you?

That is one AWESOME looking design! I’d like to see a new category … Spilled Food Art!
It looks to me like Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge … Mmmmm!!
(if you hadn’t spilled it, what would you have done with it? I mean how would you have cooked it, or ???? to complete it.)
Lauren says
It had to do with whipping eggs and stuff -- some sort of souffle’ thing. I might try it again sometime, so I’ll save it for then.
