the remaking of a kitchen

my brother-in-law sent this crazy recipe so of course i had to try it!

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly..

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again..
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT ! This can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.

it was good and chocolaty, of course i added the chips too. the texture was a little strange...chewy and uneven as to being dense or runny. didn't keep us from eating it however! next time it may need some dried cherries. possibilities abound.

this tomato was a gift from across the street. it's a glorious golden yellow and they taste as good as they look. gary is smiling about his success in the garden as well he should!
