A reader remarks with approval on Matt’s raving over his and Rose’ favorite chocolate cake, which they enjoy in Ireland.

Matt responds:

I imagine that when God rested for seven days after he created the world, more than likely he stepped back and had a piece of chocolate cake.  I wonder whether he had it with tea, coffee, or something stronger.

Sometimes I wish I was still drinking, because I’d like to have some chocolate cake and wash it down with a good Irish whiskey.  I’d have a happy stomach but an aching head.  But it would still taste good coming back up as I puked.  That’s probably one of my fantasies as I’ve gotten sober.

Maybe one of the great secrets of the universe is that after a big night of drinking, when you’d usually have a big cup of coffee and a pizza pie, maybe instead you should go for chocolate cake!

Thanks for your comment,
