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.

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

Thank you! That is really nice to hear.

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.)
