Breakfast =)

This morning for breakfast I ate chocolate cake and I feel great about that! Last night I realized that I had all of the ingredients that I needed to make a chocolate cake in my cupboard. So I whipped up the batter, poured it in a pan and prayed that I had the oven close to 350 degrees F. Cooking on our stove is very different from the cooking I have done on other stoves. For one, this stove is gas powered. I have cooked on a gas powered stove before, but the other ones I have cooked on had more than two settings for the flame like this one has. I also don't think I have used a gas powered oven to bake anything before. One of the trickiest things is that we can only light the bottom of our oven. This meant the top was the last thing to finish cooking. All I can say is the domestic goddesses must have been with me because my cake didn't burn! Ice cream on the side and strawberries on top finished the plate and made for a well-rounded meal in more ways than one. The first is that cake this delicious is very good for maintaining a well-rounded shape. The second is that every food group was represented. Sugar, of course, made up the fats section. Strawberries contributed for the fruit. The eggs in the cake were the protein. Ice cream is definitely dairy. Flour is a grain. And chocolate is a vegetable considering that it comes from cocoa beans. If that doesn't convince you, just google it and you'll see what I'm talking about. I know you are all jealous about my breakfast, so I won't tell you that it was also the main course last night – with a portion of chicken and rice on the side.
