Midnight Cravings

It is the middle of the night and I am jonesing for some chocolate. I searched relentlessly through pages and pages of recipes on the internet, each one as unsuccessful as the last. Most of them take too long to satisfy my impatient appetite, but then I remembered this one, which my friend Joel sent me a few months back. It would be great except for the fact that I have no microwave and don't have a clue as to what temperature my oven is actually heating (not that the recipe says how to make it in the oven, but I'm open to a little experimentation). The reason why I have no microwave is due to a recent move, and I have been having a daily microwave vs. vacuum cleaner debate. I need both, but have only money enough for one, and I'm thinking that quick-midnight-chocolate-cake-recipe almost weighs out dead-bug-and-dog-hair-sucker-upper. Anyway. I then rummaged through the cabinets to check out all my ingredients, briefly debating making tapioca pudding before deciding that that is just the gross and desperate result of a tormented, snacky mind. After consuming a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips, I decided to make the chocolate cake recipe after all. Then I realized I have no idea where the dish I would bake it in has gotten to. So I ate another handful of chocolate chips and some coconut flakes, wrote this blog, and am now going to bed. Tasks for tomorrow include finding the baking dish and purchasing a microwave... maybe. I will probably just try the oven experiment.
