Happy New Year! I rarely seem to manage a comment but I always find your posts illuminating.

Thank you! That is really nice to hear.

Hoping for good health, good writing and general good things for you for the New Year. (I will reserve comment on whether anything called spider cake belongs in that list!)

Likewise! (The cake neither contains nor resembles spiders! Apparently the way the cream bakes into the batter creates a web-like effect. I just want to make it on grounds of corn pudding and exploiting our new skillet.)
