"I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart." -Vinc3nt V@n Gogh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The night of the carrot. Hi friends, I hope you are all well. I've been making carrot cake for tomorrow's work party. I hate the grating the carrots finely part. I always fear that I am on the edge of grating off one of my fingers. I might come into the 21st century and buy a food processor, mightn't I? Naaaaahh! I used to bake this carrot cake all the time for my university boyfriend's family. They loved it. I would make the classic cream cheese icing and top the cake with real (edible) flowers - so pretty and the cake is delicious (secret's in the nutmeg). I have realized again this week how much joy can come from the physical act of making good food. I've made a bunch of Italian meals with fresh herbs, and little things like lemon-ricotta stuffed mushrooms for treats, and now I'm baking. It's a bit like a little, private symphony that one conducts, and it gives a lot of nurturance. Note to self. A. (the one from work that I like) has invited me over for coffee and cake on Saturday. I'm looking forward to it. C. is calling to no doubt harrass me. I'd best go.
