    all i can think of is blood red which im not sure how that fits into nickelback but.. :) now, Im curious about the answer…

  • Rina March 18th, 2009 at 5:15 am

    Ummmmm you love those things? LOL Or you hate them.

    PS – my husband used to play in a band that Nickleback opened for when they were first starting out as a Vancouver Seeds band. ;) Chad actually played my hubby's music…and butchered it apparently. Don't tell my husband that I don't mind Nickleback please…he'd be very upset.

  • Annette March 18th, 2009 at 5:19 am

    Hmmm. I got nothin'. It looks delicious though. I really liked this one.

  • Elyse March 18th, 2009 at 5:44 am

    Frighteningly good? That's the only thing I could think of, although clowns don't fit into that category. This cake does look frighteningly good, though. Yum, yum!

  • Cristine March 18th, 2009 at 8:46 am

    Things you don't like? Your cake looks beautiful, by the way! :)

  • Heidi March 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am

    Things that grow on you over time??

  • chocolatechic March 18th, 2009 at 11:47 am

    Things that you love?

  • Vibi March 18th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    I have no freakin' idea… lol …and dyin' to find out!
    But I do love the rustic feel of your this beautiful slice of yogurt cake!

  • Marthe March 18th, 2009 at 12:59 pm

    Absolutely no idea…. Please enlighten us.
    Your cake looks great though!!

  • Jill March 18th, 2009 at 1:03 pm

    My guess is that you didn't like the recipe. I'm guessing this because Burnt Sienna was my least-favorite crayon!

  • siri March 18th, 2009 at 1:16 pm

    Things that make you puke? Alternatively: Things that give you the Heebie- Jeebies.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:15 pm

    Oh, awesome story! Why doesn't the butchering surprise me? Does he rant when he hears a Nickelback song?

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:16 pm

    Noooooooooooooooooo.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:18 pm

    Yay! You're right. Burnt Sienna … ewwwwwww.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:18 pm

    Yay! You're right. Burnt Sienna … ewwwwwww.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:19 pm

    You are ALSO RIGHT! Awesome.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:20 pm

    You got it! And, thanks!

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:23 pm

    Ohhhhh, I don't think so. You're obviously much more mature than I am. ;)

  • Beth March 18th, 2009 at 2:25 pm

    I think my favorite part of CSI Miami is hearing Horatio's uber-cheesy opening line before the big "YEEEOOOOWWWWW"!!
    DH and I love when he repeats things, too. Like "Rebecca, it looks like you didn't like the cake at all. Not at all Rebecca."

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    Yessssssss. You got it EXACTLY RIGHT. And you could totally hang with me and Jeff and give "CSI:Miami" the MST3K treatment.

  • Delta Whiskey March 18th, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    Well, it certainly LOOKS good… but we all know that you can't judge a character from the exterior.

  • Sister Jenn March 18th, 2009 at 4:07 pm

    Imagine me slowly sliding off my Ray Bans UBER dramatically, "It's the cake… of the future."

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 4:25 pm

    You could totally pull off the Horatio voice, too. And the dramatic squint.

  • Nicole March 18th, 2009 at 4:34 pm

    Funny post! But so surprised you don't like watermelon! That is very unusual. The cake LOOKS good….

  • Nicole March 18th, 2009 at 4:34 pm

  • Audrey March 18th, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    Oh, I'm with you on CSI Miami, and neutral on the others, but I did love this cake. Send it on over.

  • kimberleyblue March 18th, 2009 at 7:25 pm

    What didn't you like about the cake? It looks really nice, at least!

  • Karen March 18th, 2009 at 8:16 pm

    Even before I read the comments I guessed things you despise. CSI Miami is so bad that we just laugh at it.

  • Holly March 18th, 2009 at 8:17 pm

    I was going to guess that it was things that grow on you… but frankly, clowns just creep me out, so I can't see them ever growing on me. Sorry you didn't like the cake, but that post was well worth it! So fun!

  • joanne March 18th, 2009 at 9:05 pm

    I'm guessing things that you never want to experience a second time.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 9:58 pm

    What's the cost of stamps now?

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 10:01 pm

    I thought the yogurt made it a little gummy. And the jam didn't help matters.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 10:03 pm

    Ha! Things I Hate That Other People Love. Close enough.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 10:04 pm

    Thanks! I didn't want to be rude. A lot of people loved this one.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 10:05 pm

    We do, too! And you are totally right.

  • Rebecca March 18th, 2009 at 10:06 pm

    Oh, I can't stand melons. Is that weird?

  • Nicole March 19th, 2009 at 2:08 am

    Not so much weird… everyone dislikes something. I just thought it was such a highly liked fruit and you are obviously open to quite a lot of flavors. Is it a texture thing?

  • Rebecca March 19th, 2009 at 2:14 am

    Oh, I know! Everyone in my family loves watermelon, but I don't like the flavor, the texture, the scent or the sounds from other people eating it. I've tried honeydew and cantaloupe, but I just can't stand melons.

  • Anne March 19th, 2009 at 5:32 pm

    You're too funny. Your photo is beautiful of course, though! I totally agree about the crayon, though!

  • Kayte March 19th, 2009 at 5:49 pm

    I love the way you parked that strawberry in the middle of that snowpile of whipped cream…and the crumb texture on your cake…you've done this a few times before, admit it now! LOL…seriously, very lovely.

  • Jacque March 20th, 2009 at 2:30 am

    OK, I didn't look, but I'd have to guess that these are all things that you love.

    If so, I'm right behind you, except for the watermelon :)

    Your cake looks fabulous.

  • Jacque March 20th, 2009 at 2:33 am

    Oh darn it, I got it backwards :) But hey, we both hate watermelon! yeah!

  • LyB March 23rd, 2009 at 12:54 pm

    I cheated and read the comments! You are too funny! Too bad you didn't like the cake, hope next week is better for you. :)

  • Organic March 27th, 2009 at 2:56 am

    No idea but it sure looks yummy!
