3481: Here Come The Geese
Today was Take Your Chick to Work Day =o
also, cakes:
There were others, but because I have a phobia about flagrantly taking photos in front of other people [thank you, Japan], I didn't get pictures until after they were gone. Like, the geese I had no problem photographing because it didn't feel like I was being a corporate spy by doing so. Cakes... I'm not sure. Prolly would get funny looks, but that's enough deterrent :/
So my boss--I guess I'll call her Punchy La Rue [for no reason]--says they put the cakes and such out in the kitchen partly so we can be guinea pigs. Like, the first one I had looked like a fancy cake, all shaped and shit with macaroon shells [I think] and a nutty bottom crust...
...except the entire "cake" was all airy mousse--itself not a specific problem, but the "crust" was something more like peanut brittle o_O
When Punchy asked me what I thought of it, I said it was weird because I didn't expect the layers to be so disparate. Billie [Accounts Payable--I'm uncreative] tried it after I said as such and replied that I was being nice ¬_¬
The one above with raspberries was better--still airy, but the layers were more what I expected of a cake. It was a bit soft from sitting out, but it was still closer to what I would pay $exhorbitantmoney for. I didn't try the other one, but I kind of assume it's close to the same.
Mostly I'm surprised the weird cake was nommed up before the tasty cakes \=o
Anyway, we went to Joe's Crab Shack tonight [after some Urbanspooning] and I ordered Bucket o' Crabs. Charleses is fairly warned now about the time spent consuming crab ;p [my mother and I went to an all-you-can-eat crab buffet once... three hours later...]
