The internet is evil...

[ellymae]

Did a little of this and that this weekend. A packer Brisket on Friday, 2 racks of spares and 96 MOINK balls on Saturday. Pizza tonight.

Saturday night - the in-laws came for dinner -
Brisket, Ribs, Baked potatos and corn on the cob.


Did some burnt ends too....





MOINK Balls




Tonights dinner....



And why is the internet evil you ask?

My sweet tooth is in overdrive, but there was nothing sweet in the house. In the back of my mind I recall a 5 minute chocolate mug cake - 2 minutes later I have the recipe, and 10 minutes later I have this...





Best cake I've ever eaten - No.
Best 5 minute cake I have ever eaten? Yes.
Great - access to chocolate cake any time I want - that is just NOT good.

Awesome looking food! And the brownie idea is great, I got up from the computer and went and made it, so easy. Mine didn't poof up like yours did though. I added mini choc chips. Ellie did you use the same recipe that cliffcarter posted?

Man oh Man I really know why you said that the internet is evil. I'm looking at one of the reasons. This whole website is full of great smoking and cooking ideas. Now this chocolate thingy you made Elly it low fat right........That's what I thought. Dang it. Everything looks awesome and the meat looks good too.

I was gonna try it, but I can't believe it, I don't have any flour in the house, but for some masa.

Thanks folks - I hadn't posted in a while so I figured I owed you some.

No - I used this one... next time I may add a little more milk - this one was a little dry.
