Tongue on my Cake?
“The sweet taste of sugary moist dessert, a piece of cake, cream and what is it there on the top?” Gun Roswell
Tongue on my Cake?
The odd looking construct on the top of an otherwise deliciously looking sugary treat?
Something red, albeit plain so, reminiscent more of an organ of the mouth than perhaps what it was supposed to be?
A piece of strawberry perhaps? But why cut it in to this particular format?
Anyway, if you get past the initial shock of what the heck just there on the plate dropped?
Well, it turned out to be a berry, the strawberry to be exact and the taste?
Delicious-o!
Simply try it yourself!
Runeberg Torte Day aka Johan Ludvig Runeberg Day
Posted in Celebration
Runeberg Torte Day aka Johan Ludvig Runeberg Day (1804–1877)
National celebration in Finland
From the Finnish National Anthem
“Our land, our land, our fatherland,
Sound loud, O name of worth!
No mount that meets the heaven’s band.
No hidden vale, no wavewashed strand.
Is loved, as is our native North. Our own forefathers’ earth.
Johan Ludvig Runeberg
Runeberg Torte: In honour of the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877)
Runeberg torte is a Finnish pastry flavored with almonds and arrack or rum and it weighs about 100 grams. Raspberry jam inside a sugar ring is commonly placed on top of the tart.
The torte got its name from the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877) who, according to legend, enjoyed the torte with punsch for every breakfast. Runeberg tortes are typically eaten only in Finland and are generally available in stores from the beginning of January to Runeberg’s birthday on February 5.
Delicious!

“People have got to learn:
if they don’t have cookies in the cookie jar,
they can’t eat cookies”

Cookie Jar
Delicious and nutritious
Are the cookies in the jar
But something suspicious
Is also lurking not so far
When the jar is left unwatched
It’s almost like bewitched
A creature of a special kind
A cookie monster you will find

My Little Piece of Heaven
There is just
something about you
I am in lust
And only for you
I am finding it impossible
to stay away
Highly improbable
Anything would keep me at bay
I lost you
Luckily
I found you

Just make them EAT IT, HONEY!”

Having My Cake and Eating It Too
Having my cake
And eating it too
May be
A catch twenty-two
Having it both ways
Without any pays
Looking for clues
Paying my dues
Powerless against sacrifice
Not willing to compromise
Finding ways to circumvent
Avoiding getting dents
Still my cake is crumbling down
Falling into little pieces
Not worth even half a crown
Soon enough ceases
To exist
Vaporizing into mist
Who ever finds the recipe
To uncover this mystery
Please feel free
To share it with me
