DAD REMEMBERS!


I was with Dad in the nursing home this evening.  At one point he took my hand in his, looked me in the eye and uttered, "Happy birthday!"  A moment of perfect lucidity that made me shed a happy tear.

BAKING AGAIN

Happy birthday to me.  You can now follow Chilli Crab on Instagram !

I had friends over on Sunday afternoon and because I had promised to produce a cake for tea, I got off my butt and started baking again.  I baked one on Sunday, a second yesterday, and one more today.

I've made this Lemon Yogurt Cake again and again for almost a decade.  Usually I use blanched almond flour that is readily available in the local supermarket.  Today I'm using unblanched Australian Almond Meal for the first time.  It's not as fine and I do like the reddish tone that the almond skin brings to the cake.  "Grainy," my mum commented after her first bite.  "Rustic," I decided.
