This is totally away from my usual ramblings but I had to share my new taste treat and sinful addition.
It may not look like much but t is really very tasty and it’s chocolate. Need I say more?
I don’t want to bake a whole cake just for myself, if I buy a cake a end up throwing 1/2 of it away and it gets expensive so I have come up with a microwave mug cake that literally can be mixed in a matter of seconds and in 5 minutes you can have your cake and be eating it too.
You will need either a large coffee mug or cereal bowl that can go in the microwave.
3Tbsps flour
1Tbsp cocoa powder
2 Tbsps white sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp vegetable oil (I have used magarine even peanut butter and it worked)
1 egg
2 Tbsp water
4 large marshmallows
DIRECTIONS
Put all the dry ingredients in the mug/bowl, add liquids (oil, egg and water), mix with a fork, scraping sides of mug to get all the dried and wet ingredients mixed well.
When its all mixed put the marshmallows on top and gently push down into the batter.
Microwave on full power for one minute. No longer than a minute because it will dry out.
Let it cool for a few minutes. (I just blow on it and eat it hot)
By the time you finish it your chocolate craving is guaranteed to be satisfied.
There is life and light after the narcissist, I promise! Hugs Carrie

I think everyone at one time or another thinks, "If I only knew then what I know now." I share my life experiences in hopes a few less people have to look back and want a "do over". Through my Lady Witha Truck blog I have spent 8 years sharing my experiences while being in an abusive relationship with a man I consider to be a narcissist/psychopath and through my other blog, Reimer Reason I share lessons learned throughout the 60 years of my life. No experience is a waste as long as you learn from it and if I can save someone else making the same mistakes I made, then it makes it all worth while.
I am an expert on my life, not yours, my opinions are my own, not yours, and I enjoy open respectful communication on most topics. If I don't have an answer I will research it until I do.
I have a sweetheart of a dog named Stella, a 4 year old Pitbull, Mastiff cross. I am artistic, enjoy bringing new life to antiques, gardening, refurbishing and repurposing other people's "garbage", reading, writing and being outside in nature.
I have a 34 year old son who I am extremely proud of and a 7 yr old granddaughter I don't see near enough.
I live on welfare after a lifetime of working full time because I have heart failure. I have gone from being a home owner and landlord to being homeless and living in my car.
I continually strive to be the best me that I can be and look at life as a learning experience and an opportunity to learn about other people and myself. Never a dull moment!

Sounds great! Here’s another easy one…buy Angel Food Cake, and Chocolate cake mix, mix together in large baggie. Put some in a cup or bowl, and enough water to make batter. Microwave for a minute or two. Voila! Store the leftover baggie, make a cake anytime in one minute!
