that one time I craved cake and had no eggs...

I tend to want to make things spur of the moment.
Which means I don't have all the ingredients.
So I have to find recipes with things I DO have.

I was craving cake like mad Friday night and NEEDED it.
I asked the hubs if I could go to the store quick and buy a cake.
His answer was no.
I don't need it, he said.
My eyes bulged and I said, "BUT I'M PREGNANT!"
That didn't seem to matter.

My mind starts working overload as I try and figure out how to get a cake.
Without eggs.
Because I just used the last two this morning.
Then I remember I think I pinned a vegan chocolate cake.
Vegans don't eat eggs, right?
Ok, but what other weird things will the recipe call for in place of eggs and because it's vegan?
So I start searching my board and find the recipe and grit my teeth in anticipation as I am reading the ingredients.

Flour.
Sugar.
Baking soda and powder.
etc…..
Nothing weird.
I HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS!!!

I start preparing right away.
At 6:45 p.m.
The hubs comes over to me and looks over my shoulder and says,
"Are you really making a cake?"
Me: "Um yes. And you can't have ANY because you told me I couldn't go and get one!'
Hubs: "But you are getting a cake anyways. So don't you win?"
Me: "Well yes but you were mean so you can't have any. OH! And I am making something new so that means I am doing one of my resolutions!!" (more on that later)
Hubs: "Um yeah ok? Right! So I get a piece."
Me: Silence

So long story short.
I made a cake.
All thanks to this woman.
And this recipe.
Without eggs.
Thankyouverymuch.
And her pictures are prettier than mine, so I didn't take any.

My husband would tell me to stop using Safari and use chrome.

Yeah, yeah.
