this vegan chocolate cake is Amazing
Moosewood '6-min in the pan' Vegan Chocolate Cake
Serves 8 (or in my case 1-2)
Preparation time for cake: 6 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Preparation time for glaze: 15 minutes
Chilling time (if using glaze) 30 minutes
Equipment: 9-inch round or 8-inch square cake pan, 2-cup measuring cup, double boiler
Cake Ingredients
1 ½ cups unbleached white flour
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup cold water or coffee
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Chocolate Glaze
½ pound semi-sweet chocolate
¾ cup hot water
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 375º.
Sift together the flour, cocoa, soda, salt, and sugar directly into the cake pan. In the measuring cup, measure and mix together the oil, cold water or coffee, and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the baking pan and mix the batter with a fork or a small whisk. When the batter is smooth, add the vinegar and stir quickly. There will be pale swirls in the batter as the baking soda and vinegar react. Stir just until the vinegar is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes and set aside to cool.
To make the optional glaze, melt the chocolate in a double boiler, microwave oven, or reset the oven to 300º and melt the chocolate in the oven for about 15 minutes in a small ovenproof bowl or heavy skillet. Stir the hot water and vanilla into the melted chocolate until smooth. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake. Refrigerate the glazed cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.

la la la human steps amelia
This is the opening scene from Edouard Lock's Amelia, performed by Montreal based La La La Human Steps whom I saw perform live at the Granada theater in Santa Barbara in 2008. It was one of the most amazing acts on stage I've ever witnessed. Thank you mom!
* film description from DailyMotion.com: Edouard Lock's award-winning dance film featuring the La La La Human Steps dance company blends evocative music by David Lang, classic Lou Reed lyrics, and painstakingly designed choreography to create a uniquely minimalist piece. Avant-garde dance aficionados won't want to miss this tender and challenging work
