Some stuff for you guys, because I'm in a giving mood and you're all pretty cool
Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 5:37AM Remember the online game, Faunasphere, that I posted about a while ago? Well I'm still playing it. Because it's still totally addictive. Really, what other game gives you goals like "Breed an all-white 'Hugger'"?
Okay, so the one I bred had 7 eyeballs and homicidal tendencies. Whatever, it met the criteria.
Because I like to push my addictions on other people, Jenny from Big Fish Games has given me 10 beta accounts to give to you guys! She even pre-made them with cute and cool screen names. Which, trust me, is preferable to having ME choose your screen name. You just wouldn't get any respect with a label floating over your head that said "Flaccidophalus" or "Princess Pherschnoogenfailure".
Trust me on that one.
So let me know if you want to play via comment or email, and I'll hook you up!
And, because so many of you asked (well, there was that one person, shut up), the recipe for 5 Minute Microwave Chocolate Cake in a Mug:
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)*.
Let me know how that goes, since I am microwave-free myself. And that is all I have for you today. I think next week there's a book giveaway, or something. I don't know, I'll have to check with my people.**
*You're making chocolate cake in five minutes in your microwave. Just go for broke, yo.
**I'm just fucking with you. I don't have people. I used to, but I didn't feed them and they died.

Wait, so you really don't have a microwave? How else do you plan on giving yourself cancer, cell phones? Psh. That is so 1997.
I want to play! It looks so much fun! My email is aranarose@gmail.com :)
Oh, and showing chocolate cake to a girl on a diet is probably illegal somewhere...
Now I'm craving sweet...
Girl, if I wanted to really live virtuously, I would just lick the screen. I'm gonna make some mug cake, yo.
Glad you're enjoying the game, you addict. :-)
I don't need another addiction right now but thanks. I do think my DIL might like it. So if I get picked can I give it to her?
Uhm yes. My sister & I will be making this ASAP. And I would play the game, but I can't handle another online addiction. Blogging and a certain MMORPG that my hubs forces me to play with him take up enough of my time. Oh, and school. That too.
that cake is not hasay friendly. and it looks like a giant turd. and it is probably delicious.
I am so about to do this.
Ooh I've been looking for a new game. I'd love to be considered!! (my email address is melanie@rethinkreal.com)
I want to play that game. I'm a total nerd and i have nothing better to do at work.
i am SO making that! and going back to see what that game is about...
Thanks for the recipe - that is going to be the perfect bribery mode for the Princess Nagger...or hubby...or both. Excellent!
So if we play this game, can we virtually hunt you down and annoy you? If that's the case, count me in. ;)
I so fail as a homemaker...I don't even have all the ingredients to make cake in a coffee mug in the microwave. *sob* which is really very extra sad because I want to eat that now.
I now know what I am doing when I get home from work.. :)
MMMMM Cake... way to tempting for a pregnant girl. I think I'll have to make this when I get home.
Cake. Mmmmm. Who cares about on-line gaming when there's cake? And how the hell do you have time to play games with a toddler around? I can barely check e-mail before I have someone in my lap, pounding at keys...

okay, that game totally looks like something I would get into...not that I really need another addiction but who can resist. Hehe. Not sure if you've reached the limit yet or not.
So I think if I'm selected as one of the lucky ones who gets to check out this game I'll have to celebrate with some of that chocolate cake. Mmmm.

Sure, the cake looks like an overturned can of Campbell's Chocolate Chunk soup but I will probably have to try it.
I say that as if my discerning tastes would hesitate to eat a chocolate cake that resembled a cat litter box.
So, are you any closer to renting some valuable counter space to a microwave? I mean, hell, look at that mug o' cake!!
I would love to play, can I wait until the girls go back to school? Now I have to go teach my microwave to make chocolate cake.
Wahoo! Cake ina cup. Wonder if my mil will mind if I use her Longenberger mugs for that...
Dude, you have to feed your people? Well, crap, I didn't know that.
oooo yummy chocolate cake...seriously having a craving now. Doh!
okay my girls and i are gonna make this cake as soon as we get home from school clothes shopping-thanks for the recipe
I tried this cake and it was "de-custive" as my grandson says.
So you aren't missing anything.
Microwave cake?
That just sounds dangerous... and a little fabulous.
LMAO at your poor peeps.
