Sometimes chocolate is required

15 November 2008

I had a craving for Lauren’s Rocky Road and then Lori shared her recipe for Rocky Road cake, so it seemed meant to be. Time to melt some chocolate and stir in some marshmallows and chopped up brazil nuts. I decided to make a slab like Lauren did, so at the minute there’s a very questionable-looking lumpy brown pile on a baking tray in the kitchen.

My bros (I’m trying to resist writing “and their hos”) have been here this evening for another birthday tea and John and I have been playing Little Big Planet on his Playstation. My biggest challenge is sometimes getting my thumb onto the right buttons, so that I stop just changing my character’s expression into a grimace and actually move along the screen … often into deadly spikes or a pile of explosives.
