Leave me alone!
About this Cook
I'm a college student that has been learning how to cook for the past couple years. I love to cook for other people, especially my lovely boyfriend Drew. I would cook for my crazy gato Aphro, but as all other crazy cats are, she's content just being crazy.
My favorite things to cook
Practically everything! I started out baking, but have progressed to pastas, ethnic/cultural foods, meatloaf, I love trying new things! I do have a mild obsession with pasta though now that I think of it =)
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom doesn't cook by recipes. She makes wonderful, healthy chinese food that I would like to someday replicate.
My cooking triumphs
Everytime something I make isn't burnt, gooey.. just kidding! Any time someone comments on how delicious my food is =) I've recently conquered yeast breads! They used to be in the category below (Tragedies), but I've finally been able to make delicious bread!
My cooking tragedies
When I was little, I undercooked an egg, so I threw it in the microwave...SPLAT! Poured steaming hot caramel on wax paper.. ick. Can't do cake, it's either burnt or sinks in the middle. I also can't decorate sugar cookies for the life of me.. why? Oh there's more...

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III
I upped the cocoa powder to 1 cup as suggested by other reviewers and that's the only change I made--delicious! Yum, yum, yum! This was perfect! Not too sweet, moist, and super easy! I will definitely make this over and over again. Thank you!

Rich Chocolate Frosting
I cut this recipe in half and it was plenty to frost a two layer 9" cake. The frosting was really, really rich--duh, as indicated by the title. Next time, I may use this to just use in between layers, but to frost an entire cake with it was just a bit much. Also, it didn't seem to pipe very well, but I could have added to much milk. Still very, very good!
