This is what happens when I have extra time
I don't bake. Until recently, Shabbos dessert at my house was either (1) brought by guests or (2) bought. When I "retired"-- and my budget shrank-- store bought was no longer an option. I discovered that Duncan Hines could turn into almost ANYTHING. Usually, I just make brownies or cupcakes or pistachio chocolate chip cake.
But tonight? Well, I have all this extra time since everything came out of my freezer. I should have set the table. I should have gone to bed early. I should have done anything else. What did I do? I turned into the Swedish Chef and BAKED A CAKE! Cherry chocolate cake, to be exact. If this works, I am going to be a chatzos convert forever-- it will be evidence that chatzos really does work miracles! And if it doesn't work? Well, I guess I will just set the table next time.
I am afraid to cut into it. It may yell at me.

Yeah, I never bake. It's just not in my genes. I don't have the patience. Even those Duncan Hines mixes fool me. I can make the most complicated savory dishes but when it comes to deserts, it's always fruit and bought in cakes or cookies ;)
