I'm sorry, did you need a hand? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my laughter
He's going to blame her, I just know it.
Or maybe he'll ruin her cake too? She's dangerously close!
He did not mind out.
"Mind out"? Where do people say that? "Watch out," or" mind the rolling pin," yeah, but I've never come across "mind out" before.
Must be a British thing, it's an everyday turn of phrase for me!
As an American (from Louisiana no less) I'm just gonna go ahead and say that British English is weird. Then a British reader is going to say American English is weird and then we will have that out of the way.
"Two nations, divided by a common language."
There is a first time for everything. But I bet this isn't the first time he's been such a dink.
Knocked off a counter by a clumsy baker, or placed there by a GHOST?
I would move my cake out of the way of the impending fall zone if I was her.
He should fall, end up covered in his own cake, taste it when some falls in his mouth, realize the cake is dry and the fondant flavorless, then flee the competition in tears!
She did try!
(out of professional courtesy and concern for the baked good, I suspect).
She tried, but then let it happen when he interrupted her.
>> RENEGADE +2
Hmmm. Jealousy hasn't been a Big Bad yet, has it?
It would be incredibly cool if, as he falls, she successfully catches and rescues his cake. Out of respect for the baked goods.
I'm betting that he blames her for this.
He truly is the Buckley of the competitive baking world.
Pride comes before a fall. Quite literally, in his case. :3
I was going to say that! I guess we agree. Comedy like this is always funniest when they deserve it.
I know the flavor is what matters, but... I can't help but feel that her cake is a little... Drab.
I'll have your slice, then!
She tried. With trying to be the biggest person, it's as big as you could get with Lucas there.
that's gonna hurt
That was my thought too..can't have pride anymore! But yeah, no one seems that obsessive about posessing or eating the food, more that the two of them seem to have different skills and both feel threatened by the other. Envy does seem appropriate for that...I guess we'll see!
Except for the pink ribbon, looks like her cake is the one from the cover, huh? : ) And Miss Nora looks like she has a Hotel Gula apron...
Hey, you might be onto something there.
If your winning makes sounds, you might not be doing it right.
That cake looks like it was meant for the Fourth of July in the USA... Let's over-analyze this! :D
"Envy" Aggh.
I said "Jealousy". I knew it didn't sound quite right...
Pride goeth before a rolling pin ride, eh?
Gluttony certainly fits, but I'd love it if it were something totally out of left field, like wrath.
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Ashwin on their wedding anniversary. I trust Mr Ashwin has learnt the three little words every husband needs to say to his wife regularly to ensure a happy marriage:
"Buy it then."
Even Gort learnt that one.
Heads will roll ing pin
"A sparkler"?
Would that be the USAian firework that spits sparks as it burns, or what i have been told by a UKian acquaintance is a term for a nefarious fitting for pub beer taps?
{I just happened to look back and spot the author's note...}
Oh dear
