I Can Resist Everything

Except King Cake.

Oh god, whenever one gets delivered to the office I eat nearly all of it.

Help me, please………..

   Just don’t eat the baby inside.

   I’m ashamed to admit that I had to Google “King Cake” to find out what it was. I initially thought it was a cake with Obama’s face on it, so once I learned what it really was, my faith you, Mr. B., was restored.

   Syd, I’d never heard of one until I moved from California to Houston. Mardi Gras wasn’t that big a deal in the Bay Area. (I guess it’s cultural, like Chinese New Year is huge in SF but not in Texas.)

   Haven’t had a King cake since the days of my (misspent) youth.

   Tasted great.

   People go to great lengths here to avoid the baby. They will eat it. They will slyly throw it away. The other sly thing they might do is ask if someone got the baby. If so, they proceed. If not, they’ll come back in a few minutes and ask again. All of this to avoid buying the next king cake. It’s disgraceful. They’re not that expensive and they DO EAT IT.

   Mr B, I’m sure your King Cake is absolutely delicious, however, I have to say, it’s not exactly pretty. In fact, it’s a little frightening. It reminds me of something, but I can’t put my finger on it.
