No, they want the tourists to think they had a good time. When they tell of their trip, the rubes back home won't know they were hallucinating.

OK, I'd like to know why it's 'litter on the internet hwy' when it's just Dana and me talking crap, but when everyone does it, it's different somehow?

Just curious.

What's a sheetcake?

because it's one sentence at a time back and forth for like 20 posts. It's chat.

a sheet cake is a rectangular flat cake about 3-4 inches tall made in a sheet pan. 20X30 inches or so.

oh right. that's the sort of cake we make when we want to make lamingtons.

Oh, and the point is, there's about 20 posts of chat since then also. The only difference is there's more people involved.

There was an Australian bakery in Albuquerque many years ago that had lamingtons...big chunks of cake coated in coconut. Mmmmm.

yeah...they're yum. But I can't say any more about that. I don't want to be seen 'chatting' on a 'thread' about something not related...even if it is the sort of thread most people here seem to think is irrelevant.

Walk Down the Street,
 

Wow.....The ultimate in the wandering thread syndrome....Originally started about death, fear and destruction,..Then wandered into eating in New Jersey, (New Yorks Bitch)......Terra Cotta Warriors......Wood...Petrified and other types....Champagne and Tonic.....Greek food......The French...(Ah, the French. Known only for having slightly better taste than Jersey)......Crepes....IHOP and Parisian streetfare..... (With or without drugs).......Potential personal chatting.......and sheet cake.....Which brings us back to Doe,....a deer, a female deer......Ray...a personal friend of mine....

What a ride! Yeee Hawww!!

Thank you all....Late night warriors.....

Nice post Juan. ;) Very funny.

Oh brother, eff that. Chunks of cake in coconut is a very important issue.

Lamingtons are an important part of Australian culture. You'll find them at all cake stalls. We have lamington drives (which is where school kids for example, sell them by the dozen to raise money). We have lamington cakes. We have the lamington national park. Lamingtons are lovely. :) My mum used to make them.

You can also cut them in half and fill them with jam and cream. That's an exceptional way to have them although very rich.

Yes, lamingtons although they may be humble, are a very important subject. ;)

The ones at the ABQ bakery had jam in them, between the delectable layers of yellow cake.

sigh.

The only thing that came out of France that I like, other than the turbocharger, and mechanical refrigeration, is the Napoleon, the pastry not the Emperor.

Oh soft fluffly Lamingtons with jam and cream......mmmmmmm.

I'm now dying for a pastry that I haven't had in twenty years. Thanks a lot, girls! :drool:
