one of those fridge recipes

Came home early from school today because lecture was ultra boring because I was feeling under the weather, with the incessant coughs and threatening nausea. The initial plan was to simply lay in bed and whine away in my head. But since I was already feeling better, I decided to whip up something in the name of whetting my appetite. And one can never go wrong with chocolate chip cookies, can they?

The good thing about baking cookies is that they’re not cumbersome. Heck, even the ugliest-looking cookies may very well turn out to be one of the better tasting ones! But possibly the one thing I love most about baking cookies is the clean empty mixing bowl I’m left with after all the cookies are in the oven. It makes you feel like you’ve squeezed the bowl dry of all possible cookies in the works. And of course, the cleaning-up at the end of the day becomes such a breeze

lazy busy sunday afternoon

The procrastinating monster in me found itself suddenly bombarded with garbagetruckloads of work to be completed in record time. Amidst editing the short film project, doing the write-up for the cinematic project, and attempting to revise for the test tomorrow, I sought solace in a fuss-free recipe for me to munch away.

I thought of cupcakes. But I didn’t feel cake-y inside.
I thought of cookies. But I didn’t want to spend that much time away from work.
I thought of doughnuts. But I wanted something bite-sized and not so indulgent.

Then I thought no further, and came up with this.

boredom breeds escapism

And escapism breeds sinful indulgence.

Hence, it was brownies for an afterlunch treat. Coupled with scoops of ice-cream, no less. Too bad there was only coconut-yam ice-cream, and not chocolate. But waddahey, I’m not complaining!
