Life is full of unexpected surprises. I find myself cat-sitting this evening in a beautiful house and attending a private party tomorrow afternoon to help serve guests! How wonderful. Instead of hating winter and cursing England whilst mourning french summers and exotic destinations I have decided to relax, celebrate winter and enjoy every moment. There are no strangers only friends you haven't met... according to my Grandma. Today I recommended again with gusto the courgette cake and a lady who succombed agreed that it was divine. She once saw a recipe for chocolate and avocado cake fancy I have seriously been overlooking vegetables! This afternoon I baked lemon polenta loaves which contain among other things ground almonds, corn flour and polenta. It claims to remain moist for 5 days. I baked three tiny loaves - one for moi and the rest for friends we shall see what the verdict is? My verdict however is stunning. Subtle lemon, slighty nutty with polenta and outrageously moist. I always find myself in a quandary regarding cooking times with cake. Are they better slightly undercooked or should you risk slightly overcooked? There is nothing worse than a dry cake.
They failed because they did not start with a dream...
