My mom is a good cook.
Mom: (brightly) So, how's the cake?
Emily: It's, um... good.
(silence)
Emily: Well, it's not bad.
Emily: It's just not what I expected. The black forest cake at Sophia's* is a lot different than this. This is more... crunchy.
(silence)
Emily: Actually, this is more like a casserole.
Me: (muffled laughter) A Black Forest Casserole??
