The Little Black Dress of Chocolate Cakes

My mother rang me the other morning, after two or three minutes of talking she asked in a very motherly way "do you have a cold? You sound like you have a cold?" I told her no I was just a bit croaky. I felt fine. Later that night I realized I had been struck down with a head cold from hell. How do mothers do that?

Over the weekend my neighbour mentioned she'd been struggling with a UTI. I said with just a little too much pride that I was the queen of UTI's but hadn't had one for a year. Today as I sat watching the little travelers take part in swimming lessons a familiar feeling took hold. Six sachets of ural, two litres of water and a scheduled doctors appointment for tomorrow, and it's safe to say I'm back wearing my UTI crown.

I'm really hoping I don't meet anyone in the near future with hemorrhoids.

G has been a superstar this evening while I've sat in bed nursing a big glass of cranberry juice. The second little traveler, who is a BIG fan of chocolate cake arrived breathless at my beside asking for my phone to take a picture because "Dads made a cake that he thinks is definitely blog worthy!" The first little traveler took this shot (it's important that I tell you this).


Without a word of exaggeration. This was the best piece of chocolate cake I have EVER had in my life.

I love the way that it's explained as "the little black dress of chocolate cakes" in the clip below.




Do you have a little black dress recipe? Or a cure for UTI's?

    My husband, being Swiss and all, thinks he's the last word on chocolate. I'm having a go at getting his knickers off with this recipe.

    Have you tried taking a cranberry tablet each day? I endured 15 years of chronic UTI's until I read about that. I haven't had one since and no longer even need to take the tablets. I must have seen 50 GPs about it to get antibioatics, and even saw a specialist. I can't believe none of them mentioned that cranberry tablets can be taken as a preventative measure.

    Ughhh, UTI's are the worst :-( I hope you're over it quickly, I think many pieces of chocolate cake will help :-)
    That cake looks amazing and should be fine for a gluten free attempt this weekend! Non non non!

    Will try the cake recipe when I'm next back in the land of butter bounty-NZ.

    I had a ghastly UTI at work once. As I was sipping Ural my male boss appeared over my shoulder and said cheerfully, "ooh, what are YOU drinking?". As the words came out of his mouth the look of realization was apparent as he spied the empty Ural sachet next to the glass. He backed away with a "oh". The other girls in the office and I laughed about it for ages!

    Btw, can I just say yours is my favorite blog which I MUST check every day. Love it.
