Yup. And Fru. Have slightly too many of the little bowls they come in...

I'm with you on the terrible temptation of those melted-in-the-middle chocolate thingies. For now, I'll settle for this little chocolate chip scone that my husband slipped into my bag.

NetSlut · 09-16-2008, 06:18 PM

Awww, neko, that's so sweet!

He made a lovely peach and pear pie this week, too... fruit from his dad's yard. (We call his dad "the druid.")

NetSlut · 09-18-2008, 12:40 PM

That's very lovely!

I wish I could bake or make sweet things in general.

I can cook really well, as long as it's not caek or pie or anything like that. Maybe that's why I'm partial to desserts :-)

Dave (my husband) took a baking class when I was working at a university that let spouses take classes free. The other students thought he was the Chef's assistant. He has a real knack for baked goods. His scones are sold through a snack cart here on campus.

In addition to chocolate chip, he also provides blueberry and (my favorite) cranberry apricot.

I wish I had a way to share his baking with all of you.

Must... resist... stalking... Neko's hunband...

nekokami · 09-18-2008, 02:01 PM

You should also be aware that he has agoraphobia and as a result, I'm the sole breadwinner in the house.

(Maybe I shouldn't mention that he does all the cooking, the laundry, and cleans the cat boxes....)

i think we are all wishing that right now...

I don't think I mentioned that I've gained 10 pounds since he took that baking class, however. Coincidence? I think not!

Argh, taunted with thoughts of how much delicious cake you've had!

zelda_pinwheel · 09-18-2008, 04:25 PM

Be careful of the mistletoe pies from the druid. They might not be very good for you.
