Baking is a good substitute for studying

[heywilma]

Dear whoever I need to pray to to make my brownies awesome,

Please ensure the awesomeness of this choc-filled awesome baked good. It is my first time. Go easy on me. I even offer up my Marie Antoinette icon, she is arguably the best connoisseur (and possibly by now a hellish archduke) of cakes, biscuits and other such sugary snacks.

Love,

Jenni

Yesterday's drabble will be up here soonish, after I find out whether I total fail as a baker. Watch this space.

ETA. Operation Brownie ended up more Operation Cake. Less flour next time, I think? Or what should be done to make it more dense, o flist who is more experienced than I?

Drabble time! This is yesterday's. Today's will come sometime. Eventually.

Fandom: Fables. Kind of.
Characters: Prince Charming. My Charming.
Word count: 240
Note: A present for elagnithgins, there is backstory on this, but an explanation would be longer than the actual drabble.

Charming had become used to the idea of living with a monkey now, scarily enough. It used to be children and animals that he couldn't stand (except for the bigger dogs that didn't shed all over his suits; they were okay), but now it seemed only applied to children, and even then his resolve was slipping.

What next, then? Ditch this dream existence, the womanising bachelordom? Commit to a single person? He did that before, three times, and look where it got him. Charming never did get the hang of this monogamy thing, but then again, he wasn't called "Prince Faithful".

Who'd ever want to look for their own Prince Faithful?

... Lots of people, actually, but Faithful was someone you settled for when you couldn't bag a Charming. And right now Charming was bagged. He was stuffed and tied and trapped in this unbreakable bag that Marisa Belacqua brought with her, as soon as she made the phone call to Charming, and sought a place to stay.

The metaphors were all mixed now, but Charming was back on the original issue of this monkey. This monkey shed on everything and was only well behaved when Marisa was looking, but he was tolerating it. For Marisa Belacqua. He was starting to cook, for Marisa Belacqua. He was staying in at night, for Marisa Belacqua. He was changing for Marisa Belacqua, and this was not going to end well for anybody.

My favourite brownie recipe. I wish you luck in further baking endeavours. Baking is the best form of procrastination ever - fun and you get food!

That brownie looks so delicious. I may have to try out the recipe next week.

It has 350 grams of dark chocolate and half a stick of butter. How could it not be fantastic!

It's also good with chocolate chips and/or nuts in. I usually use macadamias. Yum.
