If i knew you were coming i'd have made you a Coconut Cake!

I recently spent some quality time with my couch, and Ina Garten. I love this woman, and her food, and that's where i got this coconut cake recipe from.



But first i need to talk about my dad's desk for a minute. The day after i moved back my dad was like, "hey i want to move my desk, and turn my office into a bar." And i was like, "done. Brilliant!" And he was like, "ok i'm going to the gazebo to smoke my pipe, knock yourself out."

So jet lagged, and daunted i begin the tedious process of clearing off 15 years of stuff from my dad's crappy staples desk so we can move it across the room. I finish, and realize 1: it's really fucking heavy; and 2: the whole desk is going to fall apart as soon as we move it. I tell him this, and he's like, "we'll just put it back together." Meaning: you'll just put it back together. We go to move it, can't lift the thing, so we enlist my mom. The three of us lift the desk, and, sure enough, it breaks into 8 pieces. This is where the story get's long and super frustrating, so i'll just say 2 days and 8 trips to home depot later (that number is accurate), my dad has his desk again in it's nearly identical spot on the opposite side of the room. So now i'm like, so bar? And this is what he does:

He puts a waterproof table liner on it, and presto! Bar. Duh, totally required the move to the opposite side of the room. At least you'll get some good use out of it, except that was a month ago, and not a drop of alcohol has set foot in the room let alone on the plastic table liner. Perfect.

Now that that's taken care of let's get down to cake...


You know you could probably just follow the recipes from the website. It's super bad for you, but ohh so good. Anyway, it's late, and i'm going to bed. This post blows, sorry.

*After the past few weeks, i basically carry a camera with me at all times when I'm at home, and most are totally not blog related. If you're interested in seeing some random stuff you can follow the new pic of the day link.
