Maybe you think this should go in This Woman's Touch category, but hey, it's my blog and I'll put stuff where I want to - and think about it! SIX LAYERS!!!!!  HOLY MOSES! SIX!

This is monster of a cake, and it will feed an angry, torch wielding mob with ease. It might seem like a lot of work - but think about poor Dr. Frankenstein and all the work he had to do to make HIS monster, and it's  not like we've asked you to go dig up any parts for this one!

I saw on the news today that Latin American singer Mercedes Sosa passed away. My sister-in-law introduced me to Ms. Sosa's music, and wow - what a beautiful singer and person she was. I'm so glad we can still hear her music even though she's no longer with us.

This came in an email from a friend. It's so corny, and you may have already read it but it made me laugh . . .

SAD NEWS

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.  The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly.  He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.  Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.  The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers.  He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.  Despite being a little flaky at times, he still  was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children:  John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven.  He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

THIS IS FROM CNN.COM:

BEIJING, China (CNN) -- A dish of stir-fried pig's liver served at a dinner party in Guangzhou, China, poisoned 14 people with what authorities think was an animal feed additive, a Chinese state-run news agency reported.

The incident comes about a week after 70 people suffered food poisoning after eating pig organs from markets elsewhere in southeast China tainted with the banned food additive clenbuterol.

The victims complained of stomachaches, diarrhea, vomiting and headache, and were taken to a hospital after the Wednesday night party in Guangdong province's capital, Xinhua news agency reported.

Officials were trying to determine whether the diners were suffering from clenbuterol poisoning.

Clenbuterol can prevent pigs from accumulating fat but can be fatal to humans and is banned in China.

One of the largest food poisoning cases involving clenbuterol happened in Shanghai in September 2006, when 336 people were hospitalized after eating pig meat or organs contaminated with the additive, the China Daily newspaper said.

WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE?! SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH CHINA? WHY ARE THEY POISIONING EVERYTHING?! Is it a conspiracy to decrease the population? Damn.

Why in the hell does Billy Mays have to yell so freaking loud about EVERYTHING! Maybe you don't know who Billy Mays is - if that's so, you don't own a television. If you do own a television, you cannot escape this man! I mean, I didn't mind with the first OxyClean commercials. He's excited about his product - he's getting your attention - hey I love OxyClean as much as the next person.

Next came KABOOM - never was a more appropriate title paired with a salesperson. So, okay, we endured the yelling of Billy Mays for that because hey, the title is KABOOM - it's explosive cleaning power and it needs an explosive pitchman.

But now . . . now. OMG! You're calmly watching a program - suddenly Billy Mays is there screaming at you to buy MIGHTY MEND-IT (because I'm always ripping that flag that hangs in gale force winds). He's screaming at me to buy MAGIC PUTTY (what the hell?). He's screaming at me to buy absorbent towels, some sort of contraption to cook hamburgers, some tool that will solve all my tool problems, a steamer, and God knows what else, and now . . . now I see he's screaming at me to buy LIFE INSURANCE! Is there anything that Billy Mays can't sell? If I see Billy Mays screaming at me to buy "feminine hygiene" products I'm done.

Seriously, every time I hear the first syllable out of his mouth I'm running for the remote and frantically hitting MUTE, MUTE, MUTE!  It makes me think of when Austin Powers is revived from being cryogenically frozen and he, "CAN'T CONTROL THE VOLUME OF HIS VOICE!"

Does Billy May go home at night and scream, "HI HONEY, I'M HOME! WHAT'S FOR DINNER? I LOVE YOU!" at his wife? Does she hit him upside his head with a skillet, because that's what I feel like doing.

So, Billy, if you're out there and you happen to read this, I know you're the professional and all, but please could you please, just take it down a notch? I'd like to see some emotional range from you - not just the full force screaming, you've mastered that, let's try something new okay? Get with the times - it's time for change!
