This Grasshopper Bundt Cake is a rich, moist, and minty crowd pleaser. You won’t have a slice left!

I have decided that men are horrible at taking vacations.

My husband and I love to vacation together. But we also love to vacation separately. Because our idea of a vacation differs drastically.

When I vacation, I like to stay in a nice hotel. I spend hours researching the best places to eat. I read reviews on Yelp and Urban Spoon and obsess with my friends over the best plan of attack. Is there a good dessert place in close proximity to the lunch place? Is there shopping nearby? Does the hotel have room service or free cookies or a spa where they give massages?

Basically what I want out of a vacation is for it to be like the opposite of my real life in the very best way. I want to get rubbed on (by professionals. Wait – that sounded weird) and take naps and eat lots of food that is really bad for me.

I want to head home feeling like a fat, lazy, completely content human being.

In my opinion, this makes complete sense. It’s the absolute most LOGICAL thing to do.

My husband, however, has different ideas. On HIS vacations, he likes to sleep in tents on the ground and climb up hills in the hot sun and not worry about finding a hotel until late at night when the last resort is some dump with dirty bathrooms and no wi-fi.

How does anyone even survive without wi-fi in this day and age? I am thinking it should be illegal for places to not have it. If you’re not going to have massages and clean toilets and wi-fi and cupcakes and naps, why would you even leave your house?

I wish I could say I understood, but I don’t. I probably never will.

My husband and I traveled to Memphis for a couple of days and he actually suggested that we eat at the TGI Friday’s in the hotel. At first I thought he was kidding and then I realized that he was completely serious.

I was like “are you even kidding ME??? IT’S A WASTE OF A MEAL!!” and he was like, “What does that even mean?”

I just can’t, you guys. Friday’s is perfectly okay on a weekday in my own town. But on a trip?? What is this life?

One thing we DO agree on (thankfully), is that mint chocolate ANYTHING is always a winner. When I want to make a dessert that I know he’ll love, I combine mint and chocolate and it’s always a hit. This go around I decided to make a Grasshopper Bundt Cake and it was even better than I had hoped! We shared it with friends and there was not a scrap left.

Enjoy!

    ha love this! I could not agree with you more on your definition of vacation! My vacations are planned around where we will eat, access to what we will eat, and luxuriousness of accommodations :)

    I completely agree w/ you, but you’re gonna laugh at my vacation story… I too go online & scout out the best vacation dining (browsing menus, reviews, etc.). The last place I would consider eating whilst on vacay is a chain of any sort. But just last month on our way home from FL, we flew into the Memphis airport for a layover & as soon as I got off the plane, there was a Friday’s (it was in the airport so that doesn’t count… it actually becomes fine dining when compared to other airport choices, right?). Well ours closed several years ago, & I haven’t had my beloved Oreo Madness in YEARS so I was beyond excited to eat there. Even texted pics of the menu to my daughter so she could be jealous. :P

    I agree with you but i plan my vacations with my vacation partner but we don’t fix any place for dinning we find the best at that place where we are in every work we find the best so we use word unscramble tool because its the best tool for learning and making vocab strong.

    When I learned cooking I had to bake this. And it was a task instead of reading https://pro-academic-writers.com/blog/term-paper o write a term paper.
