Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for September 05, 2021

150 degrees. Hilarious.

Horace took a P.

How can he win hands down without hands?

Easy as pie.

This takes the cake!

Pay attention to the baking time, Horace, or you’ll change to the dark side of the cake

When it came down to the wire and Horace was in the home stretch, everyone thought he’d win by a nose. He should have won hands down, but a dark horse also ran across the board. It was really a cake walk.

I love a productive horse with a decent work ethic…

1. Horace takes a P.

2. Just because you’re in a Lazy Boy, Horace, doesn’t mean you win.

3. Horace takes the cake. Alternatively: the cake is a lie. (Bonus points for the first person who can identify where that is from.)

I’ve seen mud pies, but I’ve also seen things caked with mud… so I’m wondering about that cake.

Horace has his cake and eats it too!

Mmmmm—-cake. is there nothing it can’t do?

After all that, it looks like the cake came out just fine. Good job, Horace. I wish I had a cake-baking horse.

Piece of sweat. No cake.

In the UK, a lot of recipes gave temperatures in terms of “gas mark” setting of the regulator dial on the oven, e.g. “cook 45 minutes at gas mark 4”. As might be expected, temperatures varied a lot from oven-to-oven. You had to know your own oven and adjust accordingly.

Apparently, Horace decided to take a “P” somewhere else…!

C2- Horace made an Olympic-worthy effort to win and deserves a rest…!

This (literal) piece of cake wasn’t a (figurative) “piece of cake”.

Years ago there was a column in the NYTimes about a couple of cookbooks aimed at people (presumably mostly male and unmarried) who know absolutely nothing about cooking. The title of the review was “First: Stand in Front of the Stove”.

C3- now Horace… think FORK…!

Bless his P-pickin’ heart!

The cake sure looks delicious.
