Cheesecake Saga

This is just so funny, that I had to share it with the world! Or, at least w. the minimal audience of my blog. Last Christmas, one of my roomies decided he'd make a cheesecake as a gift. He got a bit waylaid, and didn't get it finished in time. Here's how it ends.....

Roomy1:
Fellas,
I am not sure how this is, but my carefully & specially aged cheesecake is incredible! Please dig in... I had some myself today and I felt okay after.
Love, Roomy 1

Roomy2:
Thanks Roomy1!
I can't believe it, 11 months later and it's still good! Try it with the chocolate syrup and a Reese Peanut Butter Cup. (It's great!)

I am having second thoughts about the cheesecake. I think I was experiencing some cheesecake backlash tonight at work. But, if you really believe in it, I will stand with you.
Love, Roomy1

Roomy2:
Roomy1,
I regret to inform you that I need to revoke the above statement regarding your cake. I also had some backlash from the cheesecake late last night, but I just dismissed it because I wanted so badly for the cheesecake to be good so I could eat more of it. But, this morning I felt as though there was a mechanical butterfly with lead wings flapping in my belly. I hereby refute all endorsements I gave to the cheesecake. This one little thing has caused a huge shift in my thinking and philosophies. I used to think if it looks like a duck and flies like a duck, then it's most likely a duck. Or, if a cake looks good, and smells good and tastes good, it is good. But, I'm now questioning that whole philosophy.
Roomy1, your cheesecake has caused a serious upset in all I once thought to be true. I will be meditating and reflecting on this all week now. But, in a way, Roomy1, I am thankful because your cake has caused me to do some serious soul searching. However, truth be known, I would have been even more thankful if you would have offered it to us 10 months ago.
Love, Always, Your brother like no other
Roomy2

Roomy1:
Dear Roomy2,
Thank you for your honest remarks. I can't help but feel a bit responsible for the past cheesecake problems we both encountered. I am very sorry. I too thought, "if it looks like a duck, and if it flies like a duck, then it's most likely a duck."
I resonate with the thoughts you shared, very much! I just hope the damages aren't too bad for your stomach. My apologies again.
Love, your brother, Roomy1


This is the funniest exchange of kitchen-counter notes I've ever seen. Roomie3 and I, along w. another friend who was over last night had a great laugh! I love living where I do!! It's never boring!!!
