The funny part is the red icing (imitating the tomato slices) turned Elgin's lips pink.
I looked like he was wearing lipstick! :D...........or maybe he was :ahh:

Maybe John could attach a photo of him after he ate the cake ;)

He got the burger cake from Price Chopper (http://www.pricechopper.com/).

Did Elgin wear a Heinz shirt on purpose or was that just a coincidence?

My supervisor at work buys everyone a cake from a local supermarket on their birthday. Based upon numerous past experiences, I have convinced them all that red icing is perhaps one of the nastiest-tasting things on the face of the planet. We believe it has something to do with the red colored dye leaving a bitter, chemical aftertaste. Our group has banned red-icing birthday cakes from now to eternity. I was just curious if Connecticut cakes sporting red icing displayed any similar taste nastiness? :p

Actually.. lol I bought the Heinz shirt cause everyone makes fun of me for my love of Heinz Ketchup on Eggs. Why? I don't know. I'm sure I'm not alone on this one.

Anyways, I found that shirt at Kohl's, and had to get it.

It was kind of planned.. since I bought the cake (2 of them actually) that day and I had the Ketchup shirt on when I bought them.

It was quite amusing.

And, thanks for uploading the icing pic John. :rolleyes:
I look like a Geisha Girl. lol I think I need a tan. I'm so pasty.. blah!

1. Nope, you're definitely not the only one. I never understood what was so wrong with putting ketchup on eggs (or mac and cheese, for that matter). :confused:

2. Now...That's a scary thought. *shudders*

Having ketchup on your eggs is one thing, but Elgin has KETCHUP on his eggs. Sometimes I think there aren't even any eggs under all of that ketchup. I buy the huge size ketchup at COSTCO now so I have enough for Elgin.

You sure that was ketchup Jill? I thought that was the lipstick he stole from Laura (He likes to take stuff from the Canadians). =)

Mr. Boucher, thanks for sharing the picture with us.

Can I start the is it "ketchup" or "catsup" debate?
No you may not!!
I refuse to be a part of another terminology argument (re: tag sale VS garage or yard sale, grinder VS sub or hoagie)

A grinder is like a sub, but it's toasted and is usually larger.

My uncle eats ketchup on just about everything, including chicken noodle soup, popcorn, fried rice, cabbage... and so on. I used to hate the taste of eggs and the only way I would eat them was when they were smothered with either cheese or ketchup...

Well... at least the icing matches your shirt... so if you do decide to become a Geisha, you'll at least have a head start in your color coordination skills...

A little birdie has told me that IRI will be looking for items to auction off for next year. ;)
Who knows, those pics may fetch more money than the stained glass window! :eek:

In New Jersey we referred to them as "heros".

I have never understood why they call them "grinders" up here.
I have yet to successfully sharpen my lawnmower blade with a ham and cheese grinder or even mount a wire wheel to one! :rolleyes:

oh oh oh (sorry again for the offtopic)

According to the Bellacinos FAQ:
What is a Grinder?
Modified on 2005-04-17

A grinder is a “made from scratch” Italian sandwich. Our grinders are made with combinations of freshly sliced meats, vegetables, and cheeses, baked to perfection in our ovens, and garnished with fresh lettuce and tomatoes.

oh oh oh (sorry again for the offtopic)

According to the Bellacinos FAQ:

As I work at an Italian takeout/restaurant/catering/ice cream (which has nothing to do with anything) place which has grinders, I am an expert (lol).

This link (http://www.themilfordhouse.com/milfordhousecc.html) has a picture of chez Dave putting a grinder in the oven. Basically, I describe sub v. grinder as yeast donut v. cake. Subs are more airy, more like a yeast donut with all the air bubbles etc. Grinders are more like bread or cake donuts, more grainy.

On topic, Elgin, that looks like a gigantic version of the "hamburgers" we used to make in Girl Scouts with Nilla Wafers and frosting!

I'm gonna try that now that they've shelled out several thousands for me to be an engineering student.
