    Remind me to bake a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake (with oreo cookie crust)
    I'll be your fairy God mother for that.

    Maine-iac!

    You're so easy

    I may have to get my roomie to make one of her VERY special chocolate cakes as a bribe to get you down this way for a bike ride.
    no regrets!

    I have very high tastes...be forwarned.


    Downesater takes on bikes in Boston if anyone is interested in an easy way to get to Maine for riding.

    Goddddd!

    You grrls are SO easy!

    It takes a minimum of a Texas Pecan Fudge pie to get me groveling

    But for that Bianchi Luna I might resort to far more interesting means whoa baby, she be purdy. White Carbon... hmmm, white chocolate... ooooh, a common theme

    Please Fairy Godmother... don't make me resort to doing bad things for White Carbon.

    Humph, fairy Godmother...

    I have always wanted a Seven, but now that I ride a Trek 5200 I may stick with that and just get a little custom number...
    aka Project One.

    Clothing? Anything warm because I am determined to cycyle thru this whole Massachusetts winter...I AM NOT going to let the freezing cold and snow steal my fun!

    Trip? Easy, France, following along with the tour. Hubby would be in his GLORY!

    Hey Sparrow

    You can't go wrong with a Riv. I love my Rambouillet.

    I guess I'd want my fairy godmother to give Grant Peterson the money to design tandem lugs, so we could have a Rivendell tandem.

    Vacation - a couple mountain bike tours in Utah.

    Clothing - tights with the same chamois that's in Sugoi's Ultrafino shorts.

    The bike and the tights don't exist yet.

    OK... so you can make a Texas Pecan Fudge pie. If you can make a fresh peach cobbler I'm getting out the maps.

    How long could it take to pedal to Maine from Boston?

    Peach cobbler? Blind folded with one arm tied behind my back....You all need to be more challenging. Besides, this is MAINE. I think you meant to say fresh BLUEBERRY cobbler.


    How did this get to be about food?

    Wink

    Maine-iac asked "How did this get to be about food?"

    It's ALL about the food, like we say on the Sunday club ride as we climb the last hill before the bakery...'Now it's all about the cookie'.

    I believe we got off track here bribing Fairy godmother to grant our wish. I don't think there's any fine print about this being a limited offer or "odds of winning depend on bakery skills"

    Texas Pecan Fudge Pie? Spazz I've done pecan pie with chunks of Guitard chocolate broken into it so when baked it became a chocolate pecan pie (waaaay back when I was a cook for a living). How do you make it "fudge" pie?

    It would have to be the Trek Madone 5.9. The place to ride it (very hard choice) Paris or New York (couldn't I pick both instead of a new top?

    Margaret bargains "couldn't I pick both instead of a new top? "

    I don't see why not. Both...and the new top ... perhaps a nice Scotish Ale... or Scotch....to go with the Texas Fudge Pie
