1. This is the strangest honey-cake I've ever made. It's practically *fluffy*. Next year I'm likely going back to my tried-and-true favorite from the Joy of Cooking, which is probably not exactly "traditional," but is dense and dark and sweet and absolutely drippingly sticky.

2. My hands are thoroughly thrashed from burning man. It doesn't help that I've been doing things for the last week that require my hands to be clean and dry -- and therefore haven't been putting much moisturizer on during the day. Soon I will be done handling negatives and invitations and I'll be able to engage in the constant lotion-application I prefer. The little burns across the knuckles of my left hand from last week's delicious fritto misto experiments are healing nicely, though.

3. Sure signs of fall at my house: We get home from Burning Man. The weather turns grey and drizzly. I start making vegetable soups. The temperature-dial for the heated kitchen floor begins creeping up.

Mmmm. heated kitchen floor. I'm almost looking forward to running errands in the rain so I can come home and lie down on the floor...

I want some cake! Would you save me some?

when would you like to come get it? :)

I can deliver it, but that would have to wait 'till next week, and it'll really be at its best this week.
