I'm a very unconventional person. My whole life everyone has told me that I march to the beat of my own drum. I don't deny it - as a matter of fact I embrace it because it's what makes me, me! Or I just blame it on my self-diagnosis of ADD. Whatever it may be, I have never been so conflicted about something as sinful and magical as chocolate.
Husband: When are you going to create a fudgy chocolate cake?
Me: I don't know...I don't feel like honoring chocolate in such a majestic form.
Husband: It's chocolate! Get some eggs and milk and make a moist cake woman!
Me: It's just not right...
The same conversation has echoed through our hallway and kitchen repeatedly for the past four months. What is stopping me from creating a simple cake? After all it's been scientifically proven that 9 out of 10 people crave chocolate in one form or another. A decadent chocolate cake will only add to a growing number of products our company can offer buyers. So it only makes sense to give the people what they want!
I figured it out this afternoon (just in time for a blog post no doubt):
Everybody likes chocolate. (Yes, in my world, 90% means everybody).
But of course! Kelley simply can't make something that everybody already LOVES! It's a travesty! It goes against all her beliefs and rule breaking ways! She can't possibly conform to society in such a manner!
And I haven't...If I get enough requests out there for the ultimate chocolate cake - which I know I can create - then I may change my mind. For now - let them eat cake!!!
