Like most Americans I'm bored and underutilized at my job. Therefore, I have to revile in the simple pleasures of life. These delicacies include morning coffee, today it was El Salvador Santa Ana from Counter Culture instead of the Folger's and Dunkin' Donuts coffee proffered by my co-workers (yes, I'm an elitist). I am also lucky enough to have interesting co-workers who can entertain with stories about mobsters at the Catfish Lounge. But the best piece would be the Desert Cake, enjoyed best with coffee.
The Army issued Walnut Tea Cake, ie. the Desert Cake (as it would withstand the heat of Iraq and retain its taste) is a dense sugar laden cake speckled with walnut nubs. A colleague was able to obtain a few Desert Cakes from a friend on an army base and we've been enjoying them with coffee every morning. This cake is packaged in an airtight tray and can withstand extreme temperature and weather changes for up to 18 months whilst retaining its moisture and taste. Point being, on these slow, boring, life sapping Monday mornings, enjoy the Desert Cake, or whatever simple pleasure that may be in your world.
