And in honor of Mr. Molaholic's profession

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I really liked this recipe and I learned alot.

--------------

It was really good. Really, really good. We all loved the texture and the coconut. I didn't add nuts because of allergy concerns, so I threw in a handful of chocolate chips instead. And like I posted before, my daughter insisted that it needed sprinkles (I thought the confetti variety would be better, bcause the smaller kind would give a crunchiness that would detract from the luxuriousness).

I couldn't quite do the swirly marshmallow/chocolate icing thing, but it turned out really well keeping the layers separate.

Next time I make it for potluck, I will make it in a disposable aluminum pan. I made it in my pampered chef stoneware (and it turned out wonderfully!) but I had to transfer it because I was concerned that the stoneware would keep the cake too warm and continue to bake it and that if we had to leave early, it would be hard to get my pan back.

Other things I learned while making this
1. 1 TBSP of cocoa only has 20 Calories and 10% of your daily recommended allowance of iron. So this dessert is very, very healthy!
2. margarine, water and paper fibers from a Dr. Suess book are very effective at plugging the bathroom sink.
3. in an older house with wooden cabinetry, when said cabinetry gets flooded with water, the drawers can swell so much that they become impossible to open.
4. cantalopes don't bounce no matter how many times you try
5. an 11 year old can't be trusted to keep her brother out of trouble for 15 minutes if there are any Mediator books around.
