   Sally;
     A  friend who can bake, and bakes very well has
already offered to make me a cake.
   This is about forcing Mike to keep to his bargain.
    The offer was that I would bake him a cake if he would
bake me a cake.
    Mike accepted.   I baked an orange sponge cake with
orange frosting, sacrificing some good orange juice in the
process.
    Mike needs to bake me a cake -- not buy, not trade,
not get someone else to make.
     It would be interesting to see what kind of cake Mike
decides to make and how well he does it.  I used to think
everyone could bake a cake, not neccesarily decorate a
cake, but bake it.
   Then I heard horror stories out of Baltimore Science
Fiction about various things people managed to pull out of
their ovens.
  So now I'm just wondering about the cost/benefit ratio
of this excersize.
