Me and My Chocolates
As far as I can remember, I have been an avid chocolate eater. I use the word avid and not addicted for a reason. There have been chocolate droughts in my life through time. But let us get to the main point here, chocolate is my life. This may sound dramatic, but this is true. No matter what I have tried over the years, to not be the cliched girl, who can not miss out on chocolate, I have not been able to succeed.
I have never had a bad break up, so there is no reason other than the pure joy of eating chocolate. It has been found out that chocolates create alot of happy feeling chemicals in our brains!!!!! But with consequences with eating chocolates are huge. To my horror, chocolates are not as innocent as they look.
As we move forward, different types of chocolates come to light. But there is no beating the regular and classic chocolates, which have been around for ages. Who am I to deny my body the pleasure of eating chocolates.
As I grew older, I learned to control the urge of eating chocolates. However, I managed to compensate eating chocolates with baking chocolate goodies. It has been ingrained in my mind, that there should be something sweet and chocolatey in the house at all times.
So the forray into baking began. It is said that baking should be done with the precise measurements. But I always fail to do so. Who can measure things to the last pint? It requires a lot of discipline. This quality I sorely lack. This posting is about the time when I tried to make chocolate lava cakes.
I found this great recipe online of how to make chocolate lava cakes. I tried the recipe two times, and both times there was no lava to be found. However, my family having a sweet tooth did not mind as long as it was edible.
I now am planning on making Red Velvet Cake. However, there are no recipes which I find understandable for a layman like me to understand and execute. Also I have no idea how I will be able to eat a cake which consists of two bottles of red food color!!!!!!
People might not agree with me, but baking is the best form of letting off steam. I tend to lose myself in the whole process of measuring and mixing the different ingredients into the bowl.
