Well that's just not acceptable!! A gal as awesome and pretty as you should be smiling ALL THE DAMN TIME!!


But I totally get why you have a hard time making it happen. I struggle with maintaining a desire to live most days. I'm really hoping it's all "for something" and that it soon transitions into something more positive and Life-affirming!!

Yeah, I just don't get why they gotta go and throw monkey-wrenches into plans. An otherwise veggie-safe product thrown off-course by one seemingly out-of-place ingredient?!?!?! Doesn't make sense. In fact, that cake I posted ^^^ up there, I think it would be better without the pork gelatin. I believe it's an ingredient in the icing/frosting and I think it gives it a sickly texture. Like kinda greasy & gelatinous instead of smooth and creamy. [Yet I still cram it down my cake-hole ] I think I'll submit my complaint, see if it does any good.

Me: Yeah uh, hey, ASDA, could you take that porky shit out of the frozen awesome cake? It's kinda suckin' it up for me and I'd like it to be full-on awesome sans suckability. kthnxbai !!!111

ASDA: No.

Me: Motherfuckers, do you even realize just how much money you stand to lose if I stop buying your cakes?? I go through 5 of these bitches a week [not really, but they don't need to know that, harr-harr] and I will NOT hesitate to take my cake business elsewhere if my demands are not met!! Do NOT try me!!

ASDA: No, you won't. See, phem, you need us. You need us like the parched Arizona desert needs rain in July. You won't stop buying our cakes. You can't. Because you're a cake-bitch. Moreover, you're our cake-bitch. How do you like them apples?

Me: *realizes they're absolutely right* FUCK YOU ASDA, FUCK YOU GOOD & FUCK YOU HARD!!!!!



Sorry Thor, I tried....

You can't beat a home made chocolate cake, Phem - Asda stuff can't hold a candle to it. My favourite is devil's food cake - recipe from one book, 'cause it's the best, and recipe for the chocolate fudge filling from another book, cause it's better than the other. I'll give it you if you'll use it.

And I've good Malteaser cake recipe that's rather mouthwatering. Light chocolate sponge. You put Horlics in the butter cream so that it tastes malty, & I use tons of Galaxy choc on top (nicer than Cadbury's imo) & stud the top with Maalteasers.

Need to go & hunt out choc now.

I'm always open to new recipes!!

And I usually prefer homemade stuff to store-bought but sometimes I'm just weird. [Ok, I'm weird all the time.] I was actually really surprized to find that cake to be so good. It's three-thousand calories of "Daaaayum". And the one priced at £3 which is the same size but just a little different [less cakey, more moussey-icing] is real damn good too, in fact it was the first cake I came across. It was at a restaurant called The Spice Route. I knew then I had to have that shit at home!! My wife said she found it at ASDA and the rest is spare-tire history.

I also prefer instant mashed potatoes. Me and Bruce Willis. He said so on David Letterman. Just sayin....
