I came home from work jonesing for something sweet and chocolate, but we had nothing of that sort in the house. I ate a pear, but that didn't cut it. So then I decided, I'm not that tired, I'll make some brownies. All the ingredients are here, they don't take too much effort. I turned on the oven and pulled out the box of cocoa. On the back were some recipes for mousse and a cake and homemade frosting. Homemade frosting! I've never really made my own frosting. I'm going to make frosted brownies! I started pulling out a bowl and melted the butter and added the sugar, then realized, duh, I need to start the brownies themselves, and I looked at the clock....and turned off the oven. And made a batch of homemade chocolate frosting. And ate a few spoonfuls of it. And now I feel sick and overfull and also sated. Much like when I eat those few spoonfuls of ready-made frosting in a can from the grocery store.

Tomorrow morning I will open that fridge and see the big bowl of leftovers and shake my head at myself.

I love homemade chocolate frosting. I really can't stand the canned stuff.
You could heat it and have a hot fudge-esque topping.

stuff like that is the best part of being a grown-up

I think you made an awesome and sensible decision. I tend to make pudding in similar situations.

generally eating out of the frosting can is a case of the depression, so this felt like a slight step up since i was active enough to make it from scratch. ;)
