Not Just Desserts

You got to love Australia Post for the resourcefulness its staff can demonstrate (though we still think the national mail carrier should not have discriminated against overweight staff, especially when those staff were still productive and loyal).

On a related topic (dessert wise), always watch out when you are trying a cake recipe for the first time. Sometimes any slight deviation from the recipe instructions can create embarassing moments...

*LS Lesson from Baking an Orange Loaf Cake: using a Japanese chopstick instead of a skewer to test whether the cake is cooked can mean that when you pour on the sugar slurry while the cake is hot (as instructed), a sugar pit where your chopstick had been inserted will be created...and you will suffer gawd-awful puns about a Holey Cake at the office during The Biggest Morning Tea. Thank my lucky stars that the cake was orange-moist and tasty enough to make the cake knife keep going so that the pit soon disappeared. Next time I will use lemons...and a skewer.*
