Yum! These delicious desserts make me think of Wayne Thiebaud’s mouth-watering paintings of cakes – seen here – http://www.artinthepicture.com/artists/Wayne_Thiebaud/cakes.jpg

It’s clear to me that they’re on a table – a well polished one at that.

Cake floating in space! that is d33p man! ‘Fully’ as the surfer dudes say.
This is a great painting – I love the orange shine in the foreground. Thanks also for the spelling lesson – I remember being taught how to spell ‘to – get – her’ which stuck instead of a whole lot more useful stuff.

Cool post Carol – very amusing – I love these comments too – thanks for the laugh guys

Trekkie-Smeckie!!
I want the piece of chocolate cake at the top of the watercolor all for myself—and not a-la-mode!
Don’t want to offend any Trekkies–only kidding with the opening comment.

did i mention that i would have been ill if i had seen it in an imax theater? i owe many thanks to judy. and tip-of-the-hat on reminding you of “voyager”.

maybe one day we can start a club and every third thursday (after you’re done with boot camp) watch 2 episodes (and maybe three on those times we land a two-parter) and slowly but surely and inexorably make our way through each of the four series (TOS, TNG, DS9 & Voyager – did you notice i didn’t include Enterprise) while eating cake.

I’ll have all three and then when I’m at Judys’, I’ll sit in front of her thousand channel TV watching shows about fishing, in Spanish, world soccer, in Italian, diet drugs in English, and more cooking shows in English. Then I can segue directly over to the channel for the morbidly obese.
We are an insane society. If you need further proof, re-read Bills On Painting latest post.

I believe that chocolate and cake, usually together, can cancel out the threat of microbial invasion.

Your painting reminds me of my favorite stop at a good wedding: the Viennese table.

Great painting! Funny, that’s the way I remember how to spell “dessert” also. I’m so jealous that you are going to see the Star Trek movie!

You know what I noticed once when I was at a hotel for a comic book convention? There was also a Trekkie convention going on… and many of them running around (usually running INTO one another) were morbidly obese. AND could be spotted carrying three pieces of cake!

I love the way this blog post links the three most important things in life: eating; watching television; and sitting down.

Love you !!!!!!
Me

Captain Janeway was in Star Trek: Voyager. Lovely yummy painting. I remember how to spell desert and dessert this way. Desert, with one ’s’ is when you are alone and dessert, as you say, is when you have that second helping. Speaking of eating – will we have popcorn in outer space tomorrow while viewing Star Trek?

I wish we could edit our own comments at least. I forgot to mention that I remember not having TV until I was 12. Then it was a 10 in black and white. We had three stations to choose from but they all shut down from midnight to 6:00Am.

You are right about having 1000 channels but nothing worth watching. The cable companies duplicate the channels so actually you are right back to having 2 or 3 channels worth watching (sometimes).

Ok – we had dessert, paint us some vegetables.

This is very nice, Trekie mama. The piece on the left has my mouth watering.

The upper left hand corner does seem a bit dark from the photo but you can lift a bit out and it will be fine.

A good painting, Carol. That vacation rest fixed you up.
