Niin kaksi viikkoa jälellä. Aurinkoista säätä tossa päivänä eräänä juhlistettiin lime-kookoskakulla. Alun perin piti Lime-unikonsiemenkakku oleman, mutta sattuneesta syystä ei kaupast löydetty unikonsiemeniä, niin kääntyi sitten tuohon mainitsemaani versioon. Hyvältä maistui näinkin, mutta jäi mielen pohjalle kutkuttamaan miten erilaiselta originaaliversio ois maistunu. :P Ehkä jonain päivänä.
