but this is too much!

Gotta love comment #2 on the site

This needs to be breaded afterward and then deep fried.

Behold: Chocolate Mug Cake

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

I’ve just about perfected this. Takes just 3 mins to cook…tasting good, but still needs some tweaking.

‘Chocolate Mug Cake’

Summer in Sydney = mangos

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Our neighbours have a mango tree which is absolutely loaded with new fruit. it’s not ripe yet but they said that when it last fruited (which it does every 2 years apparently) they had them coming out of their ears…they said they’d send some our way when they start coming ripe. which makes me very happy. I love mango!

Since I am impatient, I got some mango this week and used it in last night’s meal - this is more Nick’s territory i  know, but hey i’ll have an amateur crack at food blogging…modified from Cajun Lamb with Manjo & Avocado Salsa. The Salsa is the main game for me. I used basil instead of the recommended coriander and served it with Moroccan seasoned chicken breasts.

Mango & avocado salsa

1 just-ripe mango, cheeks removed, peeled, finely chopped
1 avocado, halved, stone removed, peeled, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 long fresh red chilli, halved, deseeded, finely chopped
2 tbs finely chopped fresh basil
1 tbs fresh lime juice

Just combine it, toss and serve. Great summer flavour!
