The wind has been really cold the past couple of days, I think they said the temps would be similar to February's, there may even be some snow in some places...Yikes!Anyway, on a sunny day, while I was walking, I ran into this doggie in our neighborhood, I guess she (I'm assuming it is a she because of the ribbons) and her master were out for a "walk".
On another sunny day, I tried the 5 minute mug cake that Rowena and Laura posted about. I split the batter up between 2 mugs. I also added toasted macadamia nuts and one small handful of Ghiradelli 60% chocolate chips (these chips are larger than the usual chocolate chips).
I snapped the photo of them as soon as the 3 minutes were up. While putting my camera onto the table, they fell. While they were still warm, I turned them out onto some plates. The texture was dense probably like those English puddings. I say probably because I've never actually had an English pudding.
Eating it warm was delicious. The chocolate chips were oozy, and there was crunch from the mac nuts...Dividing the batter was a good thing. This "cake" was just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth, plus I have one for Satoshi to try.On my lanai, I took some close-ups of the lavender, strawberry flowers, and tulip.
Happy Wednesday!
Okay, might have to be next on the cake-in-a-mug list! Oozy chocolate chips and mac nuts - how can I not??

Oh you just had to make the 5 minute cake...now I want one too! It has been very windy the last few days and I have to wear my lightweight coat when taking the dogs for a walk. Come on just get warm and sunny for GOOD already!
ReplyDeleteBeauuuuutiful flowers. My lavender is dead. Mistah gave it too much "water", I think.
Thanks Rowena, I know, March is almost over and it is still fahreezing! What kind of lavender did you have?
ReplyDeleteTake care.

I love that doggie!Do the dogs have to be on a lead in your neighborhood or are they permitted to run alone?Looked like a perfect cake in a cup!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling they need to be on leashes, Jann, though I have seen some without. I've never seen strays though.
