The desserts, however--pineapple upside-down cake, fruit focaccia and tarte tatin--appeal to her in all their Rubenesque unsubtlety.

...remaining workers at Al Tuwaitha are upset with U.S. soldiers, whom they fell have failed to protect the center and decontaminate it. A senior engineer, Mehdi Nimaa Tarish, went with a handful of volunteers and laid concrete on the radioactive floor of the store where the yellow cake had been kept, then bricked up its broken windows, he said.
