It really is the small things. Small, except for this towering cake. What a showstopper. I have this cookbook on my wishlist. Would like to browse through it soon. But fear not, I will be cracking open Tartine again VERY soon. Yes, yes, already had my eye on that zucchini and marmalade cake from your post. I had tagged it immediately. I can't wait to try it!

But I know better and when it comes to love and matters of the heart, it doesn't matter how many people know about your secret affectionate nature as long as the people who love you most know it well!<br /><br />Your keen observations and thoughtful posts always spur me to consider my own thoughts and actions. And this cake makes mine look exactly like what it was - a salvage operation!

You just need to figure out what country its in. Or as some famous theologian that Tyler constantly quotes says, "When searching for religion, I choose not to dig many holes shallowly, but one hole deeply. That is where I will find it." Ha!
