I don't think I've ever had a Caraway Seed cake...

Me neither ... But I'm willing to try it :) Maybe with a big glob of vanilla ice cream on top :-D

Hi jonny! Thanks for the ping and post. :) I can't stay long, I just got Vince Flynn's new book today and I can hardly stand to put it down. It's very good. :)

[silent_jonny]

Thank you for your kind words :)

[EmilyGeiger]

I'm getting suspicious!!! :)

[silent_jonny]

it was good to hear from him

I imagine so.

Was that the first time you've talked to him since he went overseas?

My favorite graphic! That might be the best graphic ever posted on FR. (The cBS eye with editorial comments.)

And it was made by FReeper IncPen.

What's the NG?

[EmilyGeiger]

wonder what caused this look of annoyance?

[silent_jonny]

I like that you included the picture of the memorial during construction.

Thanks :) I know Freepers (and Dosers in particular) are interested in the "behind the scenes" stuff. And it was interesting for me, too.

[silent_jonny]

I can't type with Brandon on my lap.....he won't sit still.

That's what you get for forcing the Wiggles on him ;)

Ugh ice cream with cake - no just plain cake please why do you Americans always have to add something to cake.

You have such heavily decorated ones I occasionally like something like that but for everyday just plain cake.

It has been interesting do the singles thread on food and have just done a bit on cakes and it is so apparent that your cakes are much richer than ours.

In that last picture, Pres. Bush seems to be thinking: "Oh, man. Now it's that crazy guy in North Korea and the UN is fooling around with the wording of another resolution. Why are John Howard, Tony Blair, Stephen Harper and I the ONLY world leaders who are actually adults?"

[EmilyGeiger]

YUM!!! I can even smell those from here, they smell and look so good. :)

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Ohio :) Glad you could stop by.

[EmilyGeiger]

LOL, that is not a flattering picture of Mccain

[mystery-ak]

No, he called when he first got there.....his camp in Kuwait is very busy with over, well, I better not post that...he'll be in Iraq very, very soon....wink, wink.....The Marines are flying them in...no convoy...Thank God!!!
