And that's for a single slice at Dempseys!
No... the cake didn't cost that much at the counter. It was the process that cost me that much.
I don't even know how the accident happened. Even after it occurred I had to stop and think " what just happened there???!!! ". I pulled over at the nearest safe junction and stopped to check. And my heart sank. Yes. There was a collision. No it wasn't with a curb.
To my surprise a black SUV drove up and stopped behind me. Who else but the owner of the other car.
So that's how the cake is going to cost $1000 ( I think, hopefully not more but you never know with cars. It's like getting cancer, getting into a collision ) I don't think I can claim insurance on this one, already my premium will have taken a big hit earlier with the one when I was taking Madison to the Botanic Gardens!
Sigh. It's also Chris' fault. He wanted that cake from PS cafe in Dempsey road. I suggested my buckwheat pancakes with Ben and Jerry's (no ), cake from Bakerzin ( at United sq, a whole lot closer and familiar drive for me --no cake too small ) , cake from Cedele ( also nearby ) --no. Ice cream from Udders ( also at United square--no, not that great ) , Ice cream from Ben and Jerry's cafe --no, we have that at home already ..
The dutiful wife in me wanted to give him a break, let him get some reading in before dessert so I volunteered to drive out to get it. What a mistake.
I can only say, "thank goodness I work and earn $$"
Chris goes " there goes your iphone $$$"
And when I finally brought the chocolate brownie cake home he zaps it in the microwave and completely destroys the creation! ( It actually cost $16 including taxes. Minus the ice cream as it was takeout. )
Next time Warni will babysit and we should go there and be served.
And Chris can drive. No more nice wifey. $1000 cake lesson of life.
