As in the Scottish pronunciation of 'cake', spelled like probably only a Finn would.  The vaguely brownie-like thing is the former occupant of the plate I used last night. Didn't want to take a clean one, for the obvious reason of needing to wash it later on if I did. It was pretty good, too, alhough the structure's more like a sponge cake. At least there's enough topping on them.  And not just any cake, but probably my very favourite, Brita cake (Here's a recipe that looks about right to me). Apparently it's traditionally made with fresh strawberries, but strawberry jam works just as well I think, as long as the almond flakes are there. It's not like you can't put fresh strawberries on top of THEM if you want, and of course you use fresh strawberries instead of jam when they're in season. But the almonds are staying. I could probably just about forgive substituting chopped hazelnut for the almonds. The reason for Brita cake yesterday was a bunch of the wife's relatives visiting to ogle at the baby. Since there was cake, I don't complain.  |

Ah, the love of us nordic types for the almonds in dessert!
That looks nommalicious, by the way.

And would you mind if I joined you there? (That looks absolutely scrumptious.) |

I think that would be the "We're Only Here For The Keek" bench, right over here. Careful, the paint isn't quite dry. |

That's Chaz's bench.
Chaz is skinny, there's plenty of room. Room for keek. |

Aw, now, have a little faith. Chaz will appoint himself Official Keek Bench Keek Cutter, so we all get exactly the size piece we want. Nobody jostles the dude cutting the cake. He'll be standing there defending his personal space with a knife and we won't even notice.

Ah, which we are you referring to? (There are extremely few people who can be playing with knives in my presence with it drawing my attention. And I spend a lot of time around people with knives.) |

You will notice him playing with the knife and showing off his Useless Super Power by telling us exactly how many calories/grams of fat/sugar/etc. are in the piece he just cut. You will not notice that he's doing this to prevent anyone from touching him or standing any closer than he wants us to be. |
