Chocolates Cakes; Delicious, Coffee Bean

Just realized, when looking through my pictures over the last month, that I have been ingesting an abundance of chocolate desserts. Maybe my stomach was trying to convey to me, via appetite preferences (ie the only way my stomach communicates with me... other than ferocious growling soliloquies during weekday afternoons that I pointedly ignore because no, Stomach, I will not feed you post-lunch and pre-dinner; the Body in which you reside is supposed to be doing work then, not eating at random hours) its gut feeling (pun intended) that Obama was going to become the first black* president of the United States.

Good on you, tummy. To celebrate your fortune telling abilities we shall consume more chocolate! I realize this whole post may sound and seem horribly racist. It's not. Obama won, I'm happy about said win, and also I like chocolate.



Chocolate Banana Cake from Delicious. And it WAS. It was thick and creamy and banana-flavoured and fudgey all at the same time.


Royal Chocolate Cake, Coffee Bean. Light and airy, with unexpected and secret crunchy layer of the chocolate cereal variety. I approve. I like finding textural surprises in my mouth.

* - Biracial, technically. If the dude keeps insisting that he identifies as black, which he does, I will respect his wishes and refer to him as black. But, Mr. President-Elect, I feel compelled to point out anyway that you are biracial. Assuming, of course, that race is even really anything but an arbitrary social construct and remnant of some archaic divide-and-rule alienate-the-Other power play as well as an internal manifestation of the human being's need to collate, collect, group and label ourselves and others for easy identification and simplistic understanding, which I totally think it is.

But I digress. Besides (back to the biracial topic), in order to correctly predict a biracial presidential win, my stomach should have gotten cravings for... what? Oreos? Marble cake? White and dark chocolate layered cake? Bounty chocolate bars? Evidently my cravings have not reached that level of sophistication.
