Breakfast of Champions


As you may recall, I love chocolate cake. As you also may recall, I have a semi-standing tradition of going to the grocery store on Saturday nights after work for the sole purpose of purchasing 10 lbs of potatoes so I can boil & mash them up for Sunday dinner at Jo's. (And in case you're wondering, this week I spent $50 - not the previous $35 - on stuff I didn't really need and/or go there intending to purchase.)

One thing I can't ever stop myself from buying when I go to Safeway in search of potatoes - chocolate cake. I am in love with their chocolate cake. Seriously, they sell it by the slice in the bakery/refrigerator section and... when I see it, I can't say no. (Somehow, it's equally delicious in the sheet cake 3x3 inch pieces, as well as in this 4 inch tall, 3 inch wide layered version.) I think it's the icing. They must put an addictive chemical in it. (Maybe it's sugar? ... I don't know.) At any rate, I love this cake. L-O-V-E it. Can't say no to it. ... I don't even try. I LOVE IT. Especially when it's Sunday morning and my options are cereal, toast or cake for breakfast. Oh, yeah... no contest. I'll take the cake, thanks.

Did you notice that I put my fork next to it (right there in the plastic clam shell case... because there's no sense in transferring the cake - or even a smaller piece of it to a separate plate - before I devour it), to give you an idea of how HUGE this piece of cake is? I'm in love.

Yum, I wish I had that for breakfast, I ate fruit snacks out of my diaper bag. Because 5 minutes more sleep was really worth no breakfast.

Chocolate Cake? You are truly my hero. I love their cake, I'm with you on that. It's a good thing they don't sell Red Velvet there, too!
