Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: How Do You Test a Person's Character the Most? Adversity? No.

* Truer words could never have been spoken by President Abraham Lincoln! They apply to politics, religion, employers and parenting. It is easy to abuse your power over someone - "because you can." After all, who is going to stop you?

The Bonzo Cake (delicious calorie monster)

You have got to check out The Bonzo Cake recipe I found from a well-known restaurant in Atlanta - unbelievable! It's a brownie base with chocolate mousse and cheesecake layers - 3 layers.

They took the 3 favorite desserts of their customers at Murphy's and combined it into this calorie monster. It's the kind of cake to make for a huge group, like a reunion as it would take just four people to eat one slice!

This is the kind of cake you would like to make just to test your baking prowess. Make sure you have the Fifth Army available to help you eat it. :) Beautiful cake - take a look!

I used to live in Atlanta for many years and it has some wonderful and innovative restaurants. If you visit eat your way across the city! You can diet later...

The Bonzo Cake recipe is parked on my Romancing The Chocolate blog, go here.
