Around Chicago: Chocolate Cake {Portillo's}
May 22, 2012
Unless you have major objections,
I am considering a slight modification to the blog.
Thinking the site could be devoted
solely to chocolate cake.
Who gets tired of it?
I mean, I just know I can bring
hellolovely sexy and funkyfresh
panache to chocolate cake.
panache to chocolate cake.
Chocolate cake is a hero.
Say you're nervous about making
dinner for someone, you serve it for dessert
and they feel indebted to you for like ever.
This slice from Portillo's was
SO DELICIOUS, MADE ME WANNA SLAP YO MAMA
(I refuse to explain) and is one of my top picks.
Guessing it is mayonaise-based.
MORE RESEARCH REQUIRED.
MORE RESEARCH REQUIRED.
Portillo's is better known for crazygood dogs and beef in Chicago.
Think about the tastings I can
attend and host and how easy
attend and host and how easy
it will be to avoid religion and politics...
ya know?
I love you for breakfast, chocolate cake.
I love you for the other meals too.
A blog devoted to chocolate cake?
p.s.
That was the day I painted my nails.
Bad call. I am allergic to polish and
lost an entire day of work.
Peace to you right where you are.

Wow! The choclatecace looks awsome! -Husfruas Memoarer-
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you woofed down that whole big piece of chocolate cake? I say yes to half a blog about chocolate since I like your other postings as well. It wouldn't hurt on those other postings to shove in at the bottom a little chocolate something just to get me salivating!
ReplyDelete;)
Wow... what a great start to visit your blog for the first time... I love chocolate cake :-) You have a new follower :-)
ReplyDeleteYou won't get a protest from me if you want to only talk about chocolate cake...we could be great friends, i do not ever limit my intake of chocolate to certain hours of the day, fat chance. I have it for breakfast if I really want it and if its really gooey and sticky and choclately (the dried out chocolate cake is a waste of calories) and in the middle of the night if i wake up craving it. Hey, the way i see it...lifes too short, and I absolutely cannot imagine my life without chocolate cake!
ReplyDeleteoh honey, i ate it all.
ReplyDeletechocolate cravings are legendary over here!!!!
:)
Have you had the chocolate cake shake there?! A-Mazing!
ReplyDeleteohhhhh yes. i love the shake too. with an italian beef dipped in da juice and stacked with sweet peppers.
ReplyDeletealso the cheese fries. this is confession time!
:)
HELLO CHOCOLATE CAKE. Yep, I would be all for a blog totally devoted to this confectionary marvel. However, I may be sending you bills from having to get all of my clothing altered after eating my body weight in chocolate cake after visiting your blog daily.
ReplyDeleteI assure you, it would be totally worth it.
Nom nom nom! xxx
That chocolate cake looks wonderful! The nails are great too (too bad about that), and your commentary with your pics... I'd say this is a winner as far as a topic for a blog! I love everything chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI just "googled" the recipe...yup, mayo! Looks like it's breakfast for me! franki
ReplyDeleteI am on board with you here!! Love, love chocolate cake and I agree, who doesn't love a good chocolate cake. Now I need some chocolate.
ReplyDeletePosted some of my jewelry organizing tips on my blog. You will see some of the pretties I got on your Etsy shop displayed.

From one chocolate lover to another ... I say let them eat (chocolate) cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! :) and I absolutely think chocolate posts should be done on the regular basis. When it comes to ingredients ... Butter, mayo, anything laddened with fat should work :) and isn't a little chocolate supposed to have health benefits? :)
ReplyDeleteLeslie
Oh yes that chocolate cake is legendary! I do hear there is mayo in it...
ReplyDeleteI definitely would have cake for breakfast...and then I would have cheese fries for lunch!
Yes! I think you should do that right away and it'll be my refuge from the big bat diet world.
ReplyDeleteAlso, have a new button in my blog, you can replace the old one with the new :) Have included the code. But why do your button say the image has been removed? I grabbed it on my side bar and it doesnt show! Am I the only one facing this?
Love, rukmini
Yeah, babeeeee... Chocolate cake is a hero!!! :-) Love that!
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate cakes.. I love anything sweet, really... but this... this seems to be so rich. Yummoooo! :-)

Wishing you a wonderful day, sweetie.
