Bit packing.
At the risk of over-exposure for this old chestnut, I give you doing too many things at once too early in the morning - one of my ultimate brainless moments
That's awesome!
Unfortunately, it happens to me all the time now. I won't be able to think of a particular word, so i have to act out what i mean. It sucks.

oh hai. I can haz decaf?
Ah, like charades? Cool...it must be interesting to see how something like "Morning cawfee spew" could be mimed.
LOL do you always think that negatively?Sadly, the first thing I saw in the word Krapfen was...well, you can see it.
I feel even more brainless because I can't even understand your brainless moment. . .I just had a brainless moment.
I spent 2 whole hours looking over my program code to find a bug, only to realize the problem was that I was comparing a boolean variable to an integer value, instead of true/false! Boy does my face look red! Of course it would have been nice if the compiler picked up on it. If I can't use 0/1 interchangeably with true/false, then what possible purpose is their for the compiler letting that one slide?
Yep, typical brainless moment that we can all relate to.
Thank god i'm not alone!

Yes, yes, I can see how that could be a simple brainless moment.

Oh man...guess right now just had another brainless moment...a forgetful one. Wanted to cook apple puree.... and cut the apples and all, put it on the cooker, turned the heat on...and forgot about it. First remembered it when the fire alarm started, because of the smoke coming from my now coal like apples.
Couldn´t get the sound off so I practically had to tear it of the ceiling in a desperate attempt not to be deaf till the end of my days and getting the batteries out of it to silence it.
Now I have a smoky, smelling apartement, a destroyed fire alarm, a hole in the ceiling, a pot to scrub for ages as it looks like and NO apple puree, which I actually wanted to eat hot and with vanilla sauce and was already looking forward too. Now I am in a bad mood! Stupid me!

Well, take two deep breaths, go out and buy some apple puree to heat up and then you can at least salvage part of your planned evening!
When I don't know what to have for dessert, I sometimes make a sponge pudding. They only take 10 minutes to make, and you can eat it with your vanilla sauce.
I can tell you how to make it if you like

First, you'll need a basin that's about 10-12cm across and has fairly straight sides about 8cm deep or deeper. A breakfast dish is not a good choice, because it's tapered, and the pudding won't cook right in a tapered dish. If the basin is too shallow, the pudding will erupt over the sides and fail in a spectacular mess. A small measuring jug will work if you don't have a suitable basin.
Put in the basin:
4 heaped teaspoons of sugar
A similar weight of margarine. I normally use 1 very heaped teaspoonful, and call it good.
Using your teaspoon, mash these together into a paste.
Next add one heaped teaspoonful of self raising flour and one teaspoon of water, and continue mashing. This should help things to mash easier.
Then add three more very heaped teaspoons of flour.
Continue adding water a little at a time and mix in until you get it to the right consistency.
The consistency you're aiming for is smooth but not sloppy. If you can stir it and see the bottom of the basin then it's too thick. If you tip the basin, it should flow slowly similar to syrup or ketchup. If it easily swishes, then it's too wet and it won't work you should add more flour.
Final ingredient : 1/3 teaspoon of baking powder. If you don't have any baking powder, then you can use 1/8 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (bicarbonate is much stronger and too much of it will easily spoil the taste of your pudding).
Microwave the mixture for 3 minutes. You should see it rise dramatically in the first 90 seconds, then deflate slightly, and then appear to do nothing. Don't interrupt the cooking or it will fail.
Serve with icecream and syrup or vanilla sauce.
Self raising flour is normal flour with some baking powder added. Plain flour will work in this recipe too if you add double baking powder.
If you've never used bicarbonate before, and are unfamiliar with it's strength and flavour, then I'd recommend avoiding it and choosing baking powder instead.
You can also add a couple of spoons of cocoa at the end to make an 11 minute chocolate sponge pudding (which goes very very well with icecream and syrup).

Quiet, you, you're interrupting my conversation with Benjamin Franklin!
I've did something on MySpace that I had completely forgot about doing, and when I saw it, I was genuinely pleased to see it as, I liked what I saw, also when I saw it, it was a complete reminder that, I had actually done that.

That was weird... But cool... *Sips on his Coca Cola, eyes red like the label.
Hehe.

It did NOT rise. And I suppose a sponge cake is supposed to be soft? I could kill someone with my 2 cm high sponge cake, when throwing it at someones head. Edit: Tried it a second time. Cake two had now 2.5 spoons of baking powder. It also did not rise, though its soft...but it tastes...bitter and sour to the same time.
The hard sponge cake at least had a sweet smell to it.
