chocolate chocolate chocolate cake

Sometimes I need a little reminder that this tiny little space of mine exists. Sometimes all it takes is a lazy (very lazy) Sunday morning, filled with career-doubting what-am-I-doing-with-myself-internet-searching to remember that it just takes a little initiative to do the things I would like to do. 

It always seemed a little self-indulgent to me to have a blog. I like it, but I can't shake the feeling that the minutiae of my life and my opinions on food-related (or most) matters aren't really all that important enough to warrant one. I like having it for myself, though, and I like that I can have a tiny space all to myself, where the choices and decisions are totally mine. I have the control over what I make, what I share, and how I share it. And that's precisely what I need and what I am craving in my life right now. 

It's not entirely related, but it wouldn't be too kind to share the picture and not a recipe. And I suppose chocolate cake is what we all really need when the going gets iffy. I know I certainly needed it.
