Things That are Awesome: Chocolate Cake for Dinner by laurentye

Things That are Awesome: Chocolate Cake for Dinner

While at a bookstore, I was browsing through a book titled "The Book of Awesome" which was basically a collection of little things in life that the author finds "awesome".

This has inspired me to start a new mini theme for myself, for a few days anyway...

So, first on my awesome list:
An evening by myself, guiltlessly eating a giant piece of chocolate cake for a late dinner (okay, I didn't eat it all - but most of it!), while having a glass of wine and watching a movie I love ("Time Traveller's Wife" - makes me cry every time, lol).
Fantastic pic!! Awesome!

Very nice, professional
May 25th, 2011  
Lots of comments on this...must be on PP! Great shot, love the DOF. And that you had choc. cake for dinner. But not eating the whole piece is LAME! ;)
May 25th, 2011  
@hjbenson haha i like to think it's healthy every once in awhile!

@fallingwaters thanks Don!

@daveanajao lol maybe would have been more romantic if i had invited my husband to share the cake too!

@bobg for sure only once in awhile! not the most healthy balanced dinner, but awesome as an occasional treat

@neilhan thanks for the kind comment Neil!

@jgoldrup oh you got my hopes up for the PP, lol. nope, not there lol. and you know, it really was lame not to eat the whole piece. I was so close, just a few more bites...but i couldn't do it!
May 25th, 2011  
Such a pretty shot!! I LOVE the golden yellow colors and the lighting!!! My husband wants that book(and he hardly ever reads! Lol) I will have to get it for him for his birthday!
May 25th, 2011  
This is a superb shot! I hope you've read the book and not just seen the film ;)
May 25th, 2011  
Yum yum yum! I've been known to order desert first at the restaurant to make sure I can fit it all in! Your pic is great - love the DOF and background.
