Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
My birthday was this past Saturday, and I forgive all of you for not buying me a gift. I didn't even have any cake! Though the Mexican food and beer and wine I had more than made up for it.
Cake is something I don't eat much of, for both weight reasons and I'm not much of a baker and don't really think about buying one. But a good chocolate cake with a tall glass of cold milk is one of life's great pleasures, and AOL food has recipes for various birthday cakes (scroll down to "Great Cake Recipes") you can try. They go as far as to say that birthday cake has surpassed apple pie as America's greatest guilty pleasure.
I don't agree with that, but there are some good cakes here, including Chocolate Walnut Cake, Kentucky Butter Cake, Linzer Cake, Flourless Sponge Cake, and something called Kitty Litter Cake.

Needless to say, my mother *hated* this recipe because she would make a lovely chocolate cake, we would force one of us kids to eat a piece so the cake was "open," and then the rest of it would sit for two or three days until it was stale.
Ah, what mothers have to put up with because their husbands teach their children these silly things!
