I don't know, but how about a cup cake with creme cheese frosting:

This is a carrot cupcake with cream cheese icing. Carrots are good for you, and cream cheese icing has to be better for you than normal fondant:

You must be very rich to afford a Parmesan that big. Or its cheaper in your neck of the woods.

Does it bother you when people end sentences with prepositions, or do you take it in stride like the fellow who devised the following witticism?

"This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."
—Anonymous. (An earlier version, printed in the Strand Magazine and later reprinted in the Wall Street Journal, Sept. 30, 1942, reads, "... offensive impertinence, up with which I will not put.")

Well, I've got a joke for you!

I just read this today in Quirkology by Richard Wiseman:

Texan: "Where are you from?"

Harvard graduate: "I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions."

Texan: "Okay—where are you from, Jackass?"

Didn't get to that part yet. I bought that book and read the first part, but got diverted to other things....

I get rankled by accidental mash-ups like "flustrated" and "conversate"

Well, that's a real trajesty, since that's normal Mobileread-speak.

You'll have to get over that prevailing disposition if you decide to hang around the lounge much.
