Dieting Class #3 Wrapup

Posted on July 10, 2009 by JMarsden| Leave a comment

My wife is in the homestretch of her 3rd time at diet class.  She has done an exceptional job, and I can hope that she doesn’t disappoint herself.  I am sure she will win something, but I know that she gets in weird moods when it is the last few days.

I asked her if she should look into some nutritional health supplements for while she isn’t in class.  She might be able to use them when we go away camping, or to Disney.  She has already decided that using wheat germ protein powder is helping her, so I don’t want to pressure her anymore than she already is.

Does anyone else that diets use supplements?  Do they help?

Bake Me A Wish Cake Review

Posted on July 8, 2009 by JMarsden| 4 Comments

Today UPS delivered me a package marked Perishable.  I immediatelly took it inside, and opened it.  It was a cake from Bake-Me-A-Wish.  I immediatelly noticed that the box was well insulated with packaging, and a gel pack.

Upon opening the package you find a well boxed cake that is sealed in plastic.  The cake can be stored frozen for up to 2 months, or 5 days refrigerated.  There is also a card included.

We cut 2 pieces out of the cake because my wife is on a strict diet until Monday, and can’t deviate.  My daughter, and I each ate a piece.  Both of us enjoyed the cake a lot.  The only comment my daughter had was that it seemed a bit small.

There are numerous different cakes that you can choose from…

  • Cookies & Cream Cake
  • Boston Creak Cake
  • S’More Brownie Cake
  • Chocolate Mousse Torte Cake
  • Tiramisu Classico Cake
  • Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake
  • Strawberry Shortcake
  • Vanilla Bean Cake
  • Red Velvet Chocolate Cake

You can additionally have Imported Belgian Chocolate Plaquess created by Stephan Leroux put on your cake.

The cakes are fully Kosher.
