This weekend I was busy being the social bee. Throw in the India shopping and other winding-up-before-leaving-on-vacation stuff and I barely had time to breath. It's Monday morning now and I am still in the same dazed, sleep-deprived state that I was in on Friday evening. But I had a lot of fun in between, so I really ain't complaining!
Anyways, one of the get-togethers involved belatedly celebrating the birthday of a friend, S. Four of us, K, S, M and me, were supposed to meet up. K had bought a cake as a suprise for S.
When K told me about it, I asked him what kind of cake it was (I am a sucker for chocolate cakes, especially Black Forest - yummmm). To my disappointment, K said it wasn't a chocolate cake. He had wanted something different. So he had bought a "different" cake with "peaches on the top and mustard on the bottom".
My eyes popped! "Mustard on the bottom?" I asked, "Are you sure?". K confidently replied that that's what the sales-lady had said and he happily added that it should taste different from the usual cakes. I somewhat doubtfully agreed that if the cake really had peaches and mustard in it, it really would have one hell of an interesting taste.
So we met up the other two, had a nice dinner and finally it was time for the cake-cutting. The cake looked extremely delicious. S blew the candles, cut the cake and passed it around. There were oohs and aahs of appreciation as we gulped it down. Then M and S asked what kind of cake it was. K once again went "peaches on top and mustard on bottom." M and S looked bewildered for a moment and then burst into laughter. They both chorused "Custard on the bottom, you idiot, not mustard!!"
I laughed like a crazy woman for nearly 5 minutes after that. In fact, I am laughing right now :-D.

Spark, that is life :-D!
Archana, yeah, a mustard cake would be quite something!
T - I know! That someone could even think that way cracked me up :-D.
To avoid potential defamation suits, I shall maintain silence on the actual identities of the people involved ;-)!
Oh, Thank Goodness! I was preparing to cancel any future opportunities to visit India. I'm laughing from the very concept of peaches and mustard as an edible combo.
I love custard and custard cakes.
Floridora: Ah, Indian food is normally not quite so exotic as that :-D!! Don't change your mind about future plans ;-)!
Thanu: I used to *love* custard too. I think I have finally had an over-dose now!
Ricky: Now that's the million dollar question. Though if the taste of mustard-oil is ath to go by, I doubt if I want to find the answer :-P!!
Eu ainda me lembro, quando eu estava fazendo analítica 1 teórica, você se juntou com a Gabriela Santana Andrade para ficar me humilhando por causa de IC no grupo de analítica 1 teórica, eu estava doente nesse dia, você se aproveitou da minha condição de doença para ficar me humilhando por causa de iniciação científica, isso não se faz nem com um bicho.
Eu me lembro depois na aula de analítica experimental 1, você perguntou a professora quantas aulas você poderia faltar, a professora falou que você podia ter só 4 faltas, então você faltou 4 aulas seguidas.
Eu fiquei tão surpreso quando eu descobri que você estava iniciação científica com bolsa junto com o Roberto Carlos e ainda publicou esse artigo científico:

Você não está nem aí, você só quer saber da atlética de farmácia, você fica matando aula para ir para o Cobal, você deve ter escrito esse artigo no Cobal ou na viagem para a SuperCopa em Vassouras junto a Atlética de farmácia.
Eu sei muito bem que é você que está cadastrando o meu número sem a minha autorização em sites de imobiliárias e de funerárias, só para o meu telefone ficar o dia inteiro tocando.
O pior é que você é bonita, o que você tem de bonita, você tem de malvada.
Você ainda vem me ameaçar com polícia, aqui na minha rua tem uma boca de fumo, a polícia só aparece na minha rua para buscar o arrego do traficante, aqui em frente a minha casa funciona um ferro velho clandestino que fornecesse material furtado para os traficantes fazerem barricadas.
Não adianta me ameaçar, porque eu não tenho nada a perder.
