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
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.
