Comfort baking and a return to Tumblr?

It’s been years since I updated this blog. I always enjoyed having it as a creative outlet, posting whatever popped into my head and re-blogging allllll the thirsty gifs, and then one day, I stopped. I have no real reason to start again, except that we’re all locked indoors now and for likely months to come, which means I may be seeking a return to the flexing of certain creative muscles. Writing, in whatever way it comes to me.

Regardless, here I am with a recipe. It’s a long-standing family favourite and one I took to IG Stories to document last night as I whipped it up. And as it solicited so many requests for the recipe, I figured it’s the least I can share with the world at large. Bon app tous le monde!

Preheat oven to 350F. Melt together:

1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate

2 TBSP butter (or margarine)

In a separate bowl, mix together:

3/4 cups white sugar

1 cup sifted flour

2 TSP baking powder

1/8 TSP salt

Add the chocolate and butter to the dry ingredients above, as well as:

1/2 cup milk

1/2 TSP vanilla

Spread batter into a greased pyrex dish. In a new small bowl, mix together:

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa

Sprinkle sugar mixture over the batter, making sure the whole thing is covered. Then carefully pour 1 cup cold water over the whole dish.

Bake for 40 minutes. Let rest out of the oven for at least 10 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

“It’s a classic example of the narcissism of small differences,” Ms. Borel said. “We are like these uppity little Hobbits taking pride in being a little better, a little more moral, a little more socially conscious than Americans. But when you look at both of us, you can’t see the difference, really. Even on the holiday that you associate with tryptophan comas and drawing hand turkeys, we still need to assert our subtle moral superiority over Americans.”

It’s the question mark that makes it exquisite. The future is not an exact science.

The elaborate designs demonstrate the creative talents of employees, as well as a rather impressive ability to put off doing actual work.

Daisy Ridley is not here for your body shaming. Pair this with John Boyega’s recent feminist badassery and we’re starting to see a Star Wars trend.
