COLIN FIRTH!!! Is that when he played Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice (1995, here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112130/)?
That recipe looks INCREDIBLE. Now I'm hungry, too...for lots of things. HAHAHAH!
YUM! And the dessert looks good, too. LOL
Oh, yeah.....love the man....we may be seeing more pics of him, since Photobucket makes me want to pay them for pics now. I guess I used up my freebie options...don't know.
Yes, Mr. Darcy. I have the DVD and am about ready to watch it again! Nanny McPhee was on last night, but I didnt' catch it until the very end...still, I watched it. Hubba Hubba!
Yeah...don't pay for naked men (that didn't come out right, but you know what I mean). I've gone to www.morguefile.com for free pics, but don't know how many naked men they have there. We still love the pics of Colin, though! Thanks!
I try not to get completely naked men...they usually are covering up the, um, fun part. LOL. Thanks for the tip. I go to Google now, but I know some of those may be copyrighted.
That's what I meant...partially naked (although, at my age, anything showing is reason to stare). HAHAHAHAH!
What a beautiful cake, and I love Mr. Darcy. :)
The cake sounds yummy--and Colin Firth IS yummy! LOL
