The Highlight of Your Day thread

@Phoenix_Rising I just had to explain why I was chuckling out loud from seeing Kermit's reaction too.

Enjoy your heavily discounted chocolate deliciousness! I'll just salivate from here!

You do realise that those Use By dates are just a suggestion @Phoenix_Rising. You could spread the eating over three days and still be okay.

Just saying - 😉 😉 😉

I guess you want to be safe rather than sorry.

@soul giggle. Well NORMALLY I don't pay a lot of attention to use by dates, but I think in this instance, I really had better take heed and make sure I eat the entire cake before bedtime tomorrow. Happily I'm on track to achieve this.

A bit of vanilla icecream might go well with it @Phoenix_Rising.

And if you heat it up a bit the chocolate icing melts, like chocolate sauce, and turns it into chocolate pudding .... in case you want a change from it being chocolate cake .....

The Highlight of my day has to be flying to Hobart and now - it's getting late into the evening and I am glad I have my computer - I can keep in touch much better than using Hotel computers or my phone

So now it's night time and the view from my room is like some kind of fairy land and I can see the Tasman Bridge all lit up - not at the same angle as this pic

I had a great flight - had my brekkie at the airport in Melbourne and my lunch on the plane and that's great stuff - I like flying so much it has to be the Highlight of months - well no - not quite

Here's the bridge in the day time -

Ah @Catcakes

I gotta rush out and get some condensed milk - that cake/pudding/treat is developing a life of its own

Golly - was that the one I saved? I think I had better clean my glasses

@Catcakes do you use stevia for sweetening ? I had a live plant at one stage, and I found the chopped leaves much nicer than stevia drops.

I have a vegan chocolate cake recipe, but I found I needed to add chopped walnuts or hazelnuts to boost the flavour. Together with wholemeal flour and (real) maple syriup or palm sugar - both of which are not very sweet but high in nutrients .... and perhaps some blueberries which are not sweet either, you can create deserts that are diabetic-friendly,

The icing is a blend of cocoa, olive oil, and a little maple syrup.
