• DP and I went grocery shopping and  DP put chocolate cake mix in
  the cart-- which is rather unlike him-- but, he put it in the cart and
  then continued down the aisle right past the frosting.

  So I said, rather logically, I thought, "Ummm.. aren't you going to get any frosting?"

  He looks at me, smiles like an enthusiastic child, and says "I'm going to frost it with chocolate pudding."

  Of course, what was I thinking?

  I did try and point out the difficulties he might run into-- like the
  pudding (he planned to just use Jell-o instant pudding) might make the
  cake soggy--

  "Not if you eat it fast enough."

  Or that the pudding might just slide down the sides of the cake-- this
  actually gave him pause. I explained how he could use pudding as a
  *filling* for a cake, if he wanted, but he seemed less than satisfied
  with the relatively small quantity of pudding you would use. Now he's
  researching how Boston Cream Pies are made.

  Where did I find this strange bird?
