Quick Update and Why I Hate Stick Shifts

This won't be a long post; I just wanted to touch base with you guys.

1.) I'll be posting a dessert recipe tonight!  

I've had a hankering to make something awesome with all the icing, cake mix, melting chocolate, fruit, and various other goodies in my pantry.  

BUT.

I'm going to take on the challenge of making a healthier alternative to a great dessert, in honor of national eat-without-feeling-guilty day.  (As declared by me)

So expect to hear from me later on tonight!  Feel free to comment suggestions for what I make!

2.) ALSO, I'm working on expanding my audience.

One of the things I plan on doing is making some short Youtube videos talking about food and the various trials and tribulations that go along with making it.  Nothing too long, maybe 5-6 minutes a pop.  I'm also considering creating a Twitter account and a Facebook page (I hate Twitter, but I really REALLY want #FeedYourInnerSpartan to be a thing), just to get The Spartan's Kitchen on the map.

In other news, I found out that I suck at stick shifting!

As an incredibly generous gift from one of my great-uncles, I've gotten my very first car!!  Just a little '95 Volkswagen Passat.  It's got a few minor kinks, but it runs really well and I already love the thing.

Except the fact that she has a manual transmission.  I'm not too great at it.

SO, until I get back on later tonight, feel free to pass the time by letting me know your opinion in the comments:

1.) What kind of delicious dessert should I tackle making healthier tonight?

2.) How do you feel about trends in the social media, like hashtags?

3.) What's your preference in vehicles?  What brand/model?  Automatic or manual?

DON'T FORGET TO #FEEDYOURINNERSPARTAN
