Okay, maybe not, but you have to admit it's a headline grabber.
Well work has been pretty stupid, and my life outside work hasn't been much better, so I got together with my brother for dinner to commiserate our misfortune, and bake a cake. Yes it was a very manly get together, full of testosterone and fighting. Nothing like baking a cake to make you feel like a real man.
So this was our plan. We were going to mix up a batch of brownies, using the recipe on the side of the Fry's Cocoa container (with the addition of a tablespoon of Tim Horton's English Toffee Cappuccino mix added. It's a sweet addition that my brother came up with). But in this case, we split the mix between two-cake trays and I mixed up a batch of chocolate sour cream icing. We took the brownie cakes out of the oven much too early, so that it would still be very moist, and after it was cool, smothered it in icing.
I must say it was really good, a bit too good. I had one small piece after making the thing on Tuesday, and I'm only having my second piece today. On Thursday! It's such a rich, sweet desert it takes two full days to recover before you can have more. It's a true kamikaze dish, because you've got to question your sanity to want to eat anything like this!!!!
Over and out....

Death by chocolate goo... OMG Keith, is there any better way to go? I don't think so ;-))) Glad you and Colin got together for some manly baking and eating of baked goods. There is no finer calling than to sacrifice life and limb in the service of cuisine..as you well know.
Hugs and love,
and tasty goo,
Suzanne.
What a way to go!
Keith, I think you and Sue need to come to PEI, hang out on our new deck and drink Coronas under the stars. It's the only way to beat the stupidity ... well, chocolate cake is nice too.
Are you writing lately? I've been rather obsessed with my new book since I got the grant.
