I know I'm giving you the run over on the mug cakes this week but I figured you'd want to get this made ASAP because it's just too good to not make!

Boy, I didn't imagine in todays day and age that some people just don't own microwaves. They're so convenient but I do understand that the nutrients are pretty much sucked out of the joyous life of everything by those microwave radiation waves. Either way, I ...
