This is one of those meals/snacks which we all secretly love, but isn’t sophisticated enough for admission.

Is the straw a customary practice? 
The sweets look tempting, the top right reminds me of baklava ( 
) at a glance. I’m not terribly well-versed in Arabic cuisine, so I won’t attempt a guess.

We took a drive today and had an enormous lunch at Malabar Farm Restaurant , and after the Mediterranean goat cheese and warm pita appetizer followed by the filet mignon chasseur, garlic mashed potatoes and “American stir fry,” there was no room for dessert.
So when we got home I made a chocolate self-saucing cake from a recipe in today’s New York Times. (Sorry if there’s a paywall; I can post the recipe if there’s interest.)
This is basically a stiff sour cream/chocolate cake batter spread in a pan, that’s topped with a mixture of boiling water, cocoa and sugar right before going into the oven for 30 minutes.
The liquid topping seeps into the cake while it bakes and ends up in the bottom of the pan by the time the cake is finished baking.
I forgot to get ice cream but I had whipping cream in the house, so I made a small batch and served the cake with a dollop.
I made a mistake mid-recipe and decided to try to compensate rather than throw everything away and start over.
It was received as follows: “Wow, it looks like a giant square dog turd, but it’s delicious.”

Perfect bowl for presentation
And the sunset tonight… 
Countertop. Is that marble?
Modifications:
- Added half a bag (total) of mini chocolate chips to both the berry and the mocha buttercreams (with additional for garnishing);
- Skipped the raspberries on the top, because they weep after a day or two and make a terrible mess;
- Substituted seedless strawberry jam for raspberry, since I had the former in the pantry.
