90 degrees

This is ridiculous. I always console myself every fall with my mother-in-law's reassurance that my husband could never have a swimming party for his birthday when he was growing up because, no matter how warm it was through September, it always cooled by his birthday.

It's 90 degrees today. It was yesterday, too. The hubby could have had his swimming party this year.

Can I please have autumn now? Please?

Rest in peace -

Goodbye, Paul Newman - thank you for sharing your talents and for your philanthropic work. Godspeed to you.

A Fun Waste of Time...

The Movie Timeline

This is a timeline of events that have happened in movies - those events that can be determined to at least a particular year, if not date, by some means. Take a peek, and make sure you see the very very beginning of the timeline there on the home page (before clicking any of the years designated on the sidebar).

"People all over the country keep talking about legalizing gambling, and I thought we already had it. It's called election day."

(From the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast of Jimmy Stewart)

Lovely Listing

Beware - some photos are not for the faint of heart. Or for viewing while eating. Or before trying to sleep, for that matter (speaking of which, cripe, what am I doing awake? Apparently the site will also make hours slip by...).

CAKE!!

This is so dangerous, LOL! Chocolate cake in 5 minutes (prep and cook time), without buying the pre-made instant cake bowl things.

This is not my recipe - received in email, no idea of the original source.

CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

1 Coffee Mug (Make sure it is microwaveable)
4 Tablespoons flour (plain flour, not self-raising)
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
3 Tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla essence (vanilla extract)

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 essence, 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)

LOL!
