Battle at Fort CC

Yesterday was my father in law Birthday (Happy Earth Day to one of the professional giants of this hemisphere). A "surprise" dinner was planned at Morgan's Harbour restaurant to celebrate the day with Bro Smith, Trevor aka Bawse.

Morgan's Harbour was a pirate's hideout, the most famous of them Sir Henry Morgan of which it got its name. The evening was windy and you could hear the ocean waves crashing into the wooden panels below us; that was not the only thing about to crash that evening and little did I know I would play part. As we were seated on what looked to be a pier or docking bay of the marina, I could sense something earth changing was about to happen. To speed things up, after a very challenging dinner run down (attempting a new meal selection), I was overjoyed, surpass ecstatic to hear the great CC, cheese cake was available - this was beyond compensation.

If anyone knows me, I love pastries but I have an sensational delight with cheese cake. After ordering a slice no more than 1 nano second I felt my inner karma being disturbed, my energy being oozed from me as I ponder carefully if I heard correctly the words descending into my right ear drum - "woiie cheese cake to sample....share...., Give me a Hi5...Angel give me a Hi5, Angel?? Angel?"...

Huh, back to reality I stare into the face of my wife's sister who with excitement in her eyes had her hands out stretched with the famous 5 finger palm awaiting a connection from me.

The average cheese cake served is approx. 4" x 1.5" and the the thought of losing even an inch on this was inconceivable. I began to put up my strong holds & erected a barrier of water glasses between myself and my predator but quickly recognized this would not be sufficient. I attempted to share some disturbing food jokes hoping this would affect my assailant's appetite but this was unfruitful. I sought consultation from once neighboring allies but I was alone in this battle at Fort CC.

The dish came out and as the waitress headed to our table, I positioned myself for the imminent face off on what could be looked at as the first family feud. Everything now hung in the balance as the cake was place on the table and she asked "May I?"....... how could I not but say "Yes" with a genuine heart felt smile.
