Frugal Kitchen: When dinner isn't substantial make dessert!

Publix chocolate ganache cake
Dinners with 8 people are interesting to stay the least!  With kids coming and going to practices and games, a husband with trumpet playing gigs, and myself who tutors, sometimes dinner can be the last thing on my mind, even with a menu plan!

Tonight was one of those nights, especially since it is two days until payday.  In the refrigerator was leftover london broil from Monday's crockpot meal and some small sweet peas.  Not enough for a second meal for everyone, but perfect for making beef potpie.  Not everyone around here likes potpie so to ward off the naysayers I decided to make a chocolate cake for dessert.  Sneaky of me to start the cake first so that when they came home from where ever they were (practice, outside playing, over at a friend's) and they peeked into the oven the first thing they saw was the cake on the bottom rack while potpie cooked nicely on the top rack.

I have tried this strategy before and it works out nicely every once in awhile!  Not saying it's the healthiest of mom tricks but everyone needs some chocolate cake sometime.  And all the leftovers are gone!

'Master,' Patty told me, 'she's very sensitive there, touch it and see.' I smiled and wet my index fingertip and rubbed it slowly around the tip of Claudia's love bud.
Otherwise the office was left romantically dark for a smoke filled office.

?Rounding a sharp bend, Emma shouted, ?Look out, we have stupid cyclist ahead.? Her cry was not out of concern. [url=anyhav3870.t35.com/doc_330.php]michelle myspace riverbank california bisexual[/url] Fred moaned as he edged closer to his orgasm, and the woman's calling her husband a cocksucking pussy only made Fred more excited, while out of nowhere another woman dropped to her knees and began eating the woman's hot cunt as the whole oral scene became too much for Fred and he erupted down the throat of this eager cockhound!!! The woman also came in a smashing cum as she blew her own load into the mouth of her eager cuntlapper! The woman on the floor was still in need of relief, so the young wife lay on the floor and let the woman settle her cunt right over her mouth.
?Nisha, do you have a boy friend? Or any one that you like?? She said, ?No, I don?t have a boy friend but there is some one that I like since few days!? I said, ?Umm what is his name?? She goes, ?You know him ? you know him like you know your self!? I was little surprise. [url=anyhav3870.t35.com/1927-essex-speedabout.php]1927 essex speedabout[/url] Oberdyer nodded.

Proudly, Simon watched as my body bucked and churned in my attempt to cram her into my cunt. [url=anyhav3870.t35.com/page-11.php]sexpacker french[/url] He, along with millions of other sad folk, got so much emails.
