"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
This is the cake I would make each year for mom's and dad's birthday. We would all get together in the evening on their birthday and reminisce about old stories. At least wice a year we would hear about Greg's encounter with the Easter Bunny and Ed getting lost. It's funny how you never get tired of hearing the same story. I guess it's part of being a family.
