Overcoming Obstacles, April 3

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was completely outnumbered by dogs today. "Hello!" he said while Patriot, Libby, and Fee did their best to trip him through Strategic Leash Choices. "Tony's in New York for a last minute board meeting. Today I've set up an egg hunt for the dogs in this field. The trick for you is to not let them run wild. They have to walk calmly to each egg that they sniff out. If they don't, Fee, they don't get the treat inside the egg.

He nodded, satisfied with the challenge before them. "Team up and pick a dog!"

Cupcakes of the World(s), Friday 4/3, Period 3

[stykera]

“This weekend is Easter,” Stark said. “Which has eggs and rabbits and resurrection.” He knew there was more to it than that. “And chocolate.” He also knew there was more than that.
“And it’s spring now. Hopefully this means no more very cold weather. So the cupcakes for today are not Easter themed but they do have carrots and rabbits like carrots so I think it works. And they have chocolate, of course. The cupcakes for today are from Brazil! Where I haven’t been. Maybe someday.”

“So Brazil is here, on the map,” he said, pointing and then adding a cupcake sticker. “And here are today’s cupcakes.”

Those were not on the map. The cupcakes were on the counter in front of him under the cloche he’d just removed. “Bolo de Cenoura is the name for the carrot cakes in Brazil which aren’t the same as carrot cake here. These are much more orange.” In case you all couldn’t tell by looking at them. “And they have chocolate frosting. Which is the best sort of frosting. This is called brigadeiro frosting and that’s a type of chocolate candy, like fudge, only here it’s frosting.”

“So, we can try and make the cupcakes as usual or you can just eat some of these as usual. Or talk about Brazil. Or talk about other things. Or…I don’t know. Does anyone have anything they want to say before we begin?”
