First dog watch, 3 bells (5:54 pm)
Lorien and I went out to lunch the other day at the Hot Rod Cafe. They have a dessert that is a giant chocolate taco with ice cream and whipping cream surrounded by giant brownies with macadamia nuts. I'm not a huge macadamia nut fan, but how could you say no to a chocolate taco??
Upon returning home, I immediately looked up a recipe on the 'Net and found the following:
Chocolate Tortillas
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients, chill. Cook a thin layer of batter over medium high heat 2 minutes or so, until edges are dry. Turn over and cook about 2 more minutes.
Forenoon watch, 1 bell (8:31 am)
I'm still out of commission today, my back is feeling better but just not quite enough to let me sit in a chair for several hours. Since I have over a month of vacation time, I may as well use it.
