Greetings internet! Welcome to Praying for Rain! This is my first blog entry, ever! Every sentence
For my first installment, I'm going to share an inspirational and touching story....about me trying to mix protein powder into my hot coffee! I know right, "why didn't I think of that " is what your saying out loud?! Two birds, one stone baby! Lets go back to that fateful day, last Sunday! So there i was, just home, fresh from a manly workout, standing babe faced in the kitchen! Those of you who lift on a regular basis, know how important protein is, not that i expect any of you pathetic loser to work out! I needed to make nasty protein powder shake, but i also wanted to get hyped up on some caffeine for protracted nerd out session online! When it struck me, ill mix the protein powder into the coffee pot! Eureka! So i put three scoops of the chocolate flavored powder in the coffee pot! You see, its quite a bitch to get the powder to dissolve in water or milk, so i figured in a hot liquid it would dissolve easier, like sugar and salt do! So this way, i could just turn on the coffee maker and it would dissolve the power in the pot as it filled, or so i thought! This is where things started to go downhill for me! So i turn the bad boy on and walked away, quite happy with myself for this seemingly brilliant plan! When i came back nit but five minutes later, to my dismay, i found a burnt mass of chocolatey goodness caked to the bottom of the coffee pot! I tried frantically to stir the mess into the coffee, thinking it would dissolve...wrong! Instead i managed to fracture the large cake into smaller fragments, which very much resembled, in texture, appearance and taste, to Taco Bell ground beef! It was as if someone had dumped three tacos worth of "beef" into my coffee pot! Oh the horror! By this time i started to get a little worried about the plan! The coffee seemed beyond repair at this point, and wreaked like burnt tootsie roll, and failure! What went wrong?!
Now being the good little empiricist that i am, i wasn't totally convinced, yet, that the plan was fundamentally flawed! Enter second attempt! So my first hypothesis was that the burner of the coffee maker had melted and burnt the protein powder before it had a chance to dissolve (because i had placed it in the empty pot, and turned it on), thus creating the fiesta of burnt disgustingness! This time i would avoid the burner all together, and mix the powder in after the coffee was done brewing! A clever solution to be sure! So i made another pot, my resolve restored, determined to make protein laced piping hot delicious coffee! But to my dismay, shortly after adding another fresh three scoops, the powder began to tacoify! Again i frantically stirred, vainly trying to save the sinking ship! But alas, it wasn't meant to be! At this point it was becoming pretty clear the the plan wasn't working! I was forced to revise my hypothesis, as it seemed the hot liquid, and not just the burner, had cooked the protein before it ever had a chance to dissolve, transforming it from into the curiously Taco Bell like substance! Not only was this outcome extremely emotionally taxing, it also casts suspicion on the integrity and quality of Taco Bell ground "beef"!
Now if I'm guilty of anything its being a
