So tomorrow is my birthday (hint hint) and my research group has a very backward tradition that the birthday girl or boy has to bring their own cake.
Seeing as I dislike cake, I thought "hey! I have leftover marshmallows from the BBQ. I'll take Rice Crispy Squares instead!"
Problem #1: While pacing the cereal aisle before Hebrew class this evening, I came to realize there are no Rice Crispies in Israel. Bright yellow corn flakes it is. Should be a tasty substitution.
Problem #2: About half my leftover marshmallows are pink, and as they started melting in the pot, I realized they were strawberry flavoured.
The result are the most radioactive and unappetizing rice crispy squares ever prepared.
I am finding this blog template kills colour in my photos, so click on the image to get the real colours.
I think I'll be going to the store to pick up some cakes early tomorrow morning.

Truly hideous looking. Is it even remotely tasty? Would a 6 year old child like it? Would a 14 year old boy eat the whole pan?
I thought you'd be making a pie!

Wow, those are some radioactive-looking treats. Good luck finding early-morning cakes!
Also: strawberry-flavoured marshmallows? That sounds terrible.
Happy birthday Janet.

BWAHAHAHA BWAHAHAHA! I can relate your need to improvise and having it be less than successful. I hope you managed alright.
Pie, mmmmm. Pie.
Lard is verboten.
Shortening is hard to find. I did see it once in a store that imposts stuff from America, but it came in two kilo tubs and cost a fortune.
My Aunt Edna's Carrot Cake was the final decision and it worked out just fine.
