The aftermath of spending a day in the ER the other day—instead of baking an Amish Friendship cake—has created a big headache and a rather sour stomach in me. You can see the evidence above. But I’ll spare you the totally ugly pictures that would also show a fridge completely inundated with rising and spilled cake dough! Not a pretty sight, believe me, although less damaging than the Gulf Oil Spill that fills TV News daily.
