Here's a strangely coy photo of a piece of chocolate cake. With the time change (to which I say 'HOORAY!' -- all the naysayers obviously don't have to walk to the train station at 6:55am; I'm perfectly happy to have extra morning light for a couple weeks), I'm hardly ever at home when there's decent sunlight coming in. The above photo was taken in the glow of our under-cabinet lighting, and I cropped out the horrible shadow. Just a peek of cake for you.
I found the recipe on Delicious Days, a food blog I only recently came across and fell in love with instantly. I've distributed the cake to a couple people, as it would be very unwise for Rob and I to attempt to eat it all by ourselves. Especially considering I made cookies two days ago (they're now gone). There must be something about the changing of the seasons that's convinced me to put on some extra winter weight.
Yes, well, if I'm going down, I plan to take everybody with me.
Wow.
Ok, listen: I don't care if it is considered 'going down'...take me with you! I beg you!

We are certainly eating very well these days. Yes, yes. I put it down to Anna's interest in the status quo. After all, I reckoned maybe we should drag ourselves to the gym once in a while so we don't go all blob-like. In turn Anna had the excellent idea of chocolate cake, so we don't accidentally go all fit and svelte and what have you. And I have to say, it is the most tastily counterproductive thing I've tasted in a long while.

Ooh, that looks yummy.
Er, you could express mail some to me, but if you don't want to, I promise I'll just make a chocolate cake myself and take one for the team.

Blob. Blob blob blob.
This is the sound I make moving around nowadays, after enjoying a lovely piece of chocolate cake. It probably wouldn't have had too detrimental an effect had it not been for the 11 Penguin chasers. Next time we get an extra value pack of 12 Penguins (which we buy just for the jokes) someone else has to help eat them too.
(Actually, you did say you wanted one but you were too late. Penguins have to be eaten within the first few hours of opening the pack. Them's the rules. Something about freshness.)
Your cake, in summary, was much better all round than Penguins.
