Try Try Again

I have a feeling this blog will never leave me alone. I love blogging, I love writing, I love web design, I have a codependent relationship with the internet. So I'm going to keep this up (probably) and use it to give me a bit of entertainment and self-fulfillment once in awhile. The less free time I have, the more of it I like to spend :)

So without further ado, I leave you a little bit of everything.

Misleading Chocolate Bundt Cake with Caramel Lime Glaze



You will need:

1 box of dark chocolate cake mix (and eggs and oil and whatever else the box tells you)

4 tbs butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream (or half and half if that's what you've got)

2 tsp lime juice

1. Bake the cake in a bundt pan. Remember to grease the pan with butter. It does make a difference.

2. Melt the butter over medium-low heat and add sugars.

3. Cook, stirring often, for two minutes.

4. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil.

5. Add the lime juice and cook, stirring without ceasing, for two more minutes.

6. Remove from heat.

7. Poke holes in your cooked and cooled bundt and pour glaze lovingly.

8. Engorge on faux gourmet deliciousness.

Great Design

I'm chomping at the bit for a blog redesign. Even better, a personal website to advertise my web design skillz with its own blog. Major inspiration:

Finding a good sewing pattern is tough. Especially since you don't know if it's good until you've spent twelve hours and stabbed eight fingers numerous times. After all the blood, sweat, and tears, it better be worth it. Look up reviews for sewing patterns first and save yourself some inevitable heartbreak.

Until next time. Don't sniff the fruit salad.
