insert picture of chocolate cake here .....

that is .... if we hadn't attacked it like animals there might have been a picture. It was a lovely looking piece of cake ...... dark, rich mahogany colored, with matching frosting. As soon as it arrived in our kitchen .... I was looking forward to it .... so I ate lite at dinner. And while the Captain was washing up some dishes- I was making a pot of double dutch chocolate coffee. Within seconds of it's delivery to the dining room table .... the plates were practically licked clean!!! So while I apologize that you didn't get to see the Captain's paycheck for his consulting work today .... I do NOT apologize for enjoying the rewards of his mental toil. (our thanks go out to the Francos for our sweet smiles this evening)
