Starbucks Gossip: Here’s a cake recipe for the Chantico fans out there

Starbucks Gossip: Here’s a cake recipe for the Chantico fans out there
This recipe was posted in one of the STARBUCKS GOSSIP forums by “Chris.” Anyone care to guess the calories in one slice of this cake?

Chantico Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
* 1 box “Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Devil’s Food Cake” (you can use
other brands, as long as it’s Devil’s Food and says “moist” on the
box)
* 1 small box chocolate pudding
* 4 eggs
* 3/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1 cup sour cream (I use light)
* 6 oz of Chantico Drinking Chocolate from Starbucks
* butter or oil for greasing pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl. Pour into a greased, cake pans (same variety and baking options as you seen on the mix box) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with crumbs clinging to it, about 30-45 minutes depending upon size of your pan. Cool in pan or Remove from Pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar or frost as follows:

Chantico Chocolate Cake Frosting
* 1 stick of butter
* 2/3 cup Hershey%u2019s cocoa
* 3 � cups powdered sugar
* 3-4 oz Chantico Drinking Chocolate from Starbucks
* A bit of milk as needed to soften texture of frosting
* 1 tsp real vanilla extract
Melt Butter add to mixer bowl. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and Chantico beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add milk if needed. Stir in Vanilla. Frost the cake with this once it is cooled. Try not to eat all the frosting before you use it.

mimi smartypants

Excerpt from:
mimi smartypants
I have a bottle of cheap hand lotion in my bedroom, and it is not a gentleman. I know this because no matter how often I politely explain, “Listen, hand lotion? I don’t play that way,” the hand lotion insists on ejaculating all over me. I do not mind, and in fact I want and expect, a little spurt into the hand, but this hand lotion gets coverage and distance. I routinely end up with hand lotion on my clothing, on the other dresser-top items, and once even on the OPPOSITE WALL. My bottle of Suave Advanced Therapy is clearly a very advanced “heavy finisher,” and should consider being in porn films. And I would encourage such a career, I would even drive the bottle of hand lotion to auditions, because the hand lotion sucks as a bottle of hand lotion. One wants soft moisturized hands and fingers from a bottle of hand lotion, not big irregular splotches of creamy white goop all over shirts and pants and furniture.

Groupware Bad

18-Feb-2005 By Jim

Truer words (about software development) were never spoken. Typical of jwz to say something so profound and so utterly ignored by 99% of the sw-devs/sw-marketers in the world, to their peril.

Groupware Bad
If you want to do something that’s going to change the world, build software that people want to use instead of software that managers want to buy.

Swiss Memory USB

17-Feb-2005 By Jim

A post inspired by my friend Mary:

ThinkGeek has this Swiss Memory USB module/knife geek-thingy. Mary apparently saw it at some point and sends me this email saying she doesn’t know why it would remind her of me *wink*. Hmm… me either. (Not.)

Here’s what I said to her about the Swiss Memory USB geek-thingy:

I’ve seen this item before and it’s not quite geeky enough. I mean, really, what self-respecting geek walks around with less than a gigabyte of pocket-sized storage in a single device? ;->

Seriously though, I’ve been looking at these type toys for quite a while and can’t see anything less than 1GB being useful. Now that 1GB devices are available, I can’t think of anything I’d really care to use it for. That’s kinda like Willy Wonka being indifferent to chocolate and not knowing why, heh.
