... and I remembered that I had intended to post these photos of the cake from a baby shower thrown by some far away but well loved associates of mine. It gives me hope for the future of this planet that these genetic bastions of intelligence and pastry skillz are procreating.
So this is what baby shower cakes are "supposed" to look like:
And this is what baby shower cakes should look like in an ideal world:

Ha, that cake is amazing. My first job was on the labor & delivery ward and I got the pleasure of throwing away placentas. Surprisingly, (or not?) very few women requested to keep theirs. At another place I worked (a bakery) my boss had pictures of her (huge!) placenta in the album with all the pictures of her new born. I dunno though...except for the size they all kind of look the same to me. I guess you feel differently if it's your own? I don't know if she ate it. Maybe she put it in the bread.
i've wondered about how they eat them for awhile. are there recipes for the uninventive? garlic salt and butter are probably involved. and frying. who the hell would poach a placenta? Or maybe the way to do it is to just hunker down and eat it raw in a corner of the basement.
I can imagine keeping mine in a jar of formaldehyde or something. But eating it... no. I don't judge others who do, but I just couldn't.
As far as I can tell the placenta is treated like a cheap cut of beef or a piece of liver. Recipes have it ground up or tenderized, cooked and sliced thin for lasagnas, meatballs, meatloaf, stew, etc..
This is fate... I was just talking about this to someone. They asked me what I did with my placenta because they had buried theirs in the garden. I told them "I don't know, it probably went in the dumpster".
Do you remember the placenta that my brother had in a jar?
NO I don't remember your brother had a placenta in a jar! I just remember the tentacle porn. Does he still have it (the placenta, not the tentacle porn)?
No, it caught on fire somehow.
