Foood, glorious FOOOOOOD
Jun. 11th, 2008 10:46 pmMy fridge is currently full of pizza and cake. After waking up from horrible dreams about living in the dorms,* I got up today and dithered about what to eat for so long that it was, in fact, dinner time by the time I ate anything at all. I caved and ordered pizza, which was on special, so I ended up with roughly three times more than I needed. There's a good chance I may be eating it until next Wednesday.
And then, there's the cake I just baked. I admit that the cake part of it came from a box, but it was an off-brand, no-name box. (Srsly. The label is like "grandma's favorite.") but the frosting? That was handmade with love, by muah. It is a chocolate cream cheese buttercream, and it is the god of frostings. I picked up a basic recipe online and tweaked it to suit. For instance, I made only a quarter of the recipe...and it still covered my cake, 9x13 inches, with about a half inch of frosting.
mwuhuhahaha!
*in my dream, there were several types of dorm accomodations...there was even one that was "cult" style, which meant bamboo wall paneling, tatami floor mats, and really awesome hammocks for beds.
