Sunday Confessional 4

December 18th 037

A week after I made a chocolate flourless cake, our guests brought over Godiva’s chocolate flourless cake. It was better than mine, and now I’m determined to bake a better one even if I clog all my arteries doing it.

I’ve never seen any of the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies. I don’t think this is a big deal but when I told my friends you’d have thought I told them I eat babies.

I did not realize peppermint patties were my mother’s favorite candies when I made them. To be fair, I’m pretty sure she’s said the same about peanut M&M’s, Reeses, Whoppers, and Junior Mints. And I have, too.

I’ve started running again. I’m convinced I look excellent in my runner’s tights and want to wear them around even when I’m not running.

December 31st 054

I burnt this pan during my 2 hours of cooking these dumplings. But wait, I burnt it boiling water. I even own the cookbook How To Boil Water. Apparently, I need to go back and reread it.

I really wish my high school friends would join Twitter because Facebook stalking is so 2010.

    I like your mom. She’s like most women…loves anything chocolate…no matter what form of candy it comes in. 🙂

    I have definitely been known to stretch my spandex wearing into the “inappropriate” zone. What can I say? Running has given me great legs!

      I like to think we’ve earned the right to look this good.

    Flourless chocolate cake = my favorite! The best recipe I use is made with garbanzo beans – no joke. It’s so good, and the flavors of the chocolate completely mask the beans. High-protein chocolate cake:)

    Mmm! Flourless chocolate cake – so good! Hope you do keep trying to perfect that recipe. When we were young, my parents wouldn’t let us go to the theater with our friends, so there’s over a decade in my life of movies missed. :-p

    This is funny! I really don’t get Twitter, but I have an account anyway.

    Flourless chocolate cake is pretty much heaven on a dessert plate. Although I have no doubt your original recipe was delicious, it’s so worth the artery-clogging to keep trying for improvements 🙂

    I’ve never seen any of the Pirates movies either.

    I’ve only seen the first Pirates movie! I confess I haven’t seen Lord of the Rings either – but I have read the books. That should count right?

    I was wondering what your thoughts are on sugar? I know you are GF and all-natural. But how do you feel about using a lot of sugar in recipes? Thanks!

      I have nothing bad to say about sugar. I try not to base my diet around it, but I don’t sweat adding it to desserts or anything since I think those should be eaten in moderation anyway. And I always add a little bit of sugar in everything savory I make because it brings out the flavors a lot like salt does.

    There is no way that the godiva cake is better than yours…seriously, yours looks AMAZING! I would be thrilled to do a side by side taste test for you 🙂

    I love the plate in the first photo! I need pretty dishes 🙂

    I’m all about having a wide variety of favorite candy too. 😉

    And people are always shocked when I tell them I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies. I have NO desire.

      The only one that’s really worth it is the 6th, or the 3rd, whichever you call the most recent movie. I know it’s sacrilege to think the recent ones are better than the original but at least the characters don’t look like sock puppets.

    If you decide to watch the Pirates movies, only watch the first one. You’ll end of a good note and save yourself hours of your life you can never get back… Think of all the flourless chocolate cakes you can make in those hours..mmmm!

    I would wear running tights everywhere if I could (actually I basically do!) Why would you want to be uncomfortable in jeans when you can be so comfortable wearing them?

    Lol…I like wearing runner’s tights as well, ’cause they are comfy!

    Oh yeah the burnt pan situation happens every now and then 🙂

    Hmm, perhaps you could design a pair of runner’s tights with “Wannabe Chef” on the buttocks, and then we could all buy them and look as cool as you? 😉

    Oh my, I have to try that cake!!! Hmmm, maybe today’s the day 😉

    I can’t believe I missed this Sunday’s confessional.

    I literally could only think of Ron Burgundy when you started mentioning your running tights. I feel like that’s how he’d talk!
