The way to a man’s heart?

by jmgoyder

Ming’s Sunday breakfast: I spread half an avocado on two pieces of wholemeal toast, then cooked eight bacon rashers, two sausages, three eggs and one tomato. It took me around 10 minutes to prepare. It took Ming exactly four minutes to consume.

I took Anthony out to the Dome this afternoon where he demolished an enormous piece of chocolate mousse cake with extra cream. I sipped my coffee and watched in amazement.

After taking Ants back to the nursing lodge and settling him into his room, I came home to find Ming sitting in the living room hungry. I am not sure if he has forgotten where the kitchen is, or forgotten how to open the refrigerator which generally has food in it, but he appears to have some sort of mental block when it comes to feeding himself. So I gave him his requested snack of strawberries and cream with some reluctance. He ate it unreluctantly.

The Mad Cake Lady!

by jmgoyder

Remember, several posts ago I put up a photo of a Harley Davidson that was actually a cake and my little guessing game resulted in lots of complimentary comments to the cake maker, my good friend, Julie (another Julie, not me)? Okay, so if you don’t remember, here is the picture of Julie’s husband, Barry’s 50th birthday cake, courtesy of Julie (both the picture and the cake itself).

Yes, I know it is difficult to believe that this is a cake (Ants and I were at the birthday party briefly and I even touched this bike, but still couldn’t believe it was a cake!) And even now it seems almost inconceivable that someone could do something this creative and fool an intelligent person like me -ha!~

Julie is not only the madcakelady, she is also a person without guile (and I am yet to meet another one as guileless), a wife and mother, the definition of a smile and a very good friend. And her husband, Baz, is Anthony’s favourite friend. When Ants turned 75 and was still living here at home, over a year ago, I threw a massive party and guess who made the cake (actually she made a couple as well as those profiterolly things) – Julie did!

So, for you cakey types (I don’t like cake but Julie still loves me), she needs a vote so you have to follow her instructions below. Now, I don’t usually do this kind of thing on the blog but I have made a special concession for our very own Made Cake Lady! The following is a copy/paste of her facebook request:
