Cooking instruction summary:

Place the rack in the center and preheat your oven to 375 F. Thoroughly butter the insides of 6-8 ramekins, then dust the cups with sugar and tap out the excess. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and set aside.Combine butter and chocolate in a large bowl (much larger than you need for the chocolate - you'll be adding big, fluffy whipped egg whites later). Melt the chocolate and butter together, either in the microwave in short 30-40 second blasts (mine took just 2 blasts) stirring well in between each, or over a simmering pot of water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in 1/4 cup of sugar, then whisk in the egg yolks.Using the whisk attachment with your electric mixer, beat egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar at high speed until the whites just begin to form soft peaks. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar slowly, then beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three parts. Divide the batter among the prepared cups.Bake the cakes, on the baking sheet, for 12-15 minutes, until they are cracked on top (the centers should still be moist - a toothpick won't come out clean). Let the cakes stand for 1 minute before unmolding.Run a thing paring knife around the edge of each cake to loosen it from the cup, then invert onto a plate or into a small bowl and serve warm.These store well in an airtight container. Heat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving, or if doing the marshmallow topping, the broiler will heat it nicely for you).- Sift a light dusting of powdered sugar on top. - Sift a light dusting of powdered sugar, then an even lighter dusting of cocoa powder on top.- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside- Serve with a dollop of whipped topping- Top with mini-marshmallows and broil just until they are browned

Food Joke

When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I am putting a box under our bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. However, on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the better of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box there were 3 empty beer cans and $1,874.25 in cash. After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her guilt and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the empty cans in the box?" Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess that after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again." Hillary was shocked, but said, "I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is not that bad considering the number of years we've been together." They hugged and made their peace. A little while later, Hillary asked Bill, "So why do you have all that money in the box?" Bill answered, "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash."
