Okay, we all know he's insulted virtually every Orger at some point...


Plus, his fondness for photoshopping Orgers' heads next to a poodle leaves people lying awake at night...


And he's jacked more threads than is humanly possible.



But...


That's why we love him.



People, it's Dan's birthday today!!!


Please help him celebrate!!



(Okay, I'm a little early but officially - here in the UK, at least - it's his birthday).



As I'm sure many of you will agree... for good (GD Orgers ) or bad (M&M Orgers )... this place wouldn't be the same without him. He brings life, character, humour and stupidity to this place - in equal measure.


And, more to the point - for those that have the pleasure of knowing him well - he is one of the sweetest, loveliest, kindest, most thoughtful, loyal Orgers I know. Wrapped up inside all that madness is a heart of gold. He'll hate me saying that but, despite what he may want you think , he really is a sweetheart. Just a beautiful person. I love him.



Dan, I'm sorry that I can't be there to share this birthday with you personally but you know I'd give anything to be there today. Have a great day, enjoy yourself and here's to a wonderful year ahead!


Happy Birthday!

I've said it once,
I'll say it twice:




HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEEKY MONKEY

Fuck you Happy Birthday Dan!!

Happy Birthday, sweetie

(from me and Carrie! )

Dan,

Ilove you!
Happy Birthday my friend!

I'll call you in a bit.



Frozen Raw Birthday Cake


1 Bunt Cake Pan
16 oz. of dried organic figs, soaked overnight in distilled water*
16 oz. of dried pitted organic dates, soaked overnight in distilled water*
12 oz. bag of organic almonds
2 big bunches fully ripe bananas (organic if possible)

* Soak fruit in separate bowls. The water level for soaking is about half full. Do not cover the dried fruits completely.

Remove stems from soaked figs, puree figs and set aside. Puree dates put in separate bowl, chop almonds in food processor or blender and set aside in its own container. Peel and puree the bananas in a blender or food processor.

To Build the Cake
Place almonds in the bottom of the mold; 2nd layer, pureed figs; 3rd layer almonds; 4th layer pureed bananas, almonds, dates, almond, figs or whatever order you desire. Almonds should be the first layer and end with dates or figs the last layer. Cover and freeze overnight.

To Serve
Remove from the freezer, place upside down on a plate and allow to sit a few minutes until thawed enough to release from the pan. Can be carefully set in warm water just long enough to release the cake, being very careful not to get water in the cake.

This cake has so many possibilities. Use strawberries and blueberries for a beautiful, healthy cake. Any of your favorite fruits can be used to make a new family tradition!
