CAKE,
carrots & all…

Do you know what you call a spice cupcake without the cream cheese frosting?  A breakfast muffin.  My husband is dubious, but I say the notions of breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner foods are abstract at best.  Why must it be eggs for breakfast?  And how much difference is there between banana bread and carrot cake, really?  Mmmhmm.  This next Call is looking for the abstract, and they DON’T mean carrot cake OR banana bread.  Take a look…
