If he asks you am I running, tell him I'm flying

Rabbit, rabbit! Happy New Year! I baked an almond cake which failed so surreally I am now studying the remains to see what happened. According to the recipe, it was supposed to collapse in the middle, but it was also supposed to have some structural integrity afterward—I am not discounting the possibility that I just don't like this style of cake, but it literally broke up on re-entry. Looking for photographs of Peter Ustinov, I found him being a feral teenager and a slightly older teenage bohemian. He never lost the cat-look. I think tomorrow I will try the spider cake and see if it helps.

It should be in Maida Heatter’s Cakes and features a box grater for the almond paste, which makes me suspect it was an edition older than we.

Yeah, I just used Odense.

We sit under electric current, our household animals eat meat every day, our clothing is machine-seamed and our almond paste comes foil-wrapped. We have done our ancestors proud.
