A few days ago I started getting into a rather NSFW webcomic called The Lounge. A few moments ago I hit my least favorite part of reading through the archives of a new addition to the evening lineup: finishing it and catching up to the end. It's just a bit frustrating to be cruising through something that good and then...THUD, no more until the next update. :[

...Ew. O_o
Anyway, yesterday I was in the mood to cook dinner, and wanted to try something new and somewhat gourmet. I ultimately decided on this oven-roasted chicken recipe...then, for no reason whatsoever, my brain just latched onto the idea of making it a truly restaurant-style experience by serving it at our oft-unused dinner table with napkin-wrapped silverware and everything, and I just went "Ahh what the hell?" and did it.
End result: ABSOLUTE SUCCESS. This stuff is freaking delicious. Definitely saving that recipe.
Today, I still had some baking inclination in me and nothing else to do, so I decided to tackle what I figured would be the most difficult task I'd faced yet...making a cake.
Turns out pouring water, oil, eggs, and a box of cake mix into a bowl, mixing it up for a few minutes, pouring it into a well-greased pan, and then tossing it in the oven for about an hour isn't as hard as I thought. :/
End result: CATASTROPHIC SUCCESS. This cake is too good. *urp*
Would try baking something again tomorrow, but work will get in the way of such plans. Oh well, maybe during the mid-day break..
