Sep. 17th, 2009 08:55 ami feel spacey today. gray skies, ginger peach tea. on my morning walk i passed a full school bus, saw three different girls writing on the windows in their own fogged breath.
stayed up a little late last night baking the layers for a neapolitan cake that is for a combined birthday on sunday, for kirk (33 on the 21st) and my dad (56 on the 28th).
the scent of the dough was amazing -- it has a whole cup of pulverized almonds in it, plus a little almond extract, and the zests of an orange and a lemon. heavenly!
the cake layers are really giant cookies. they are triple-wrapped in plastic in the freezer until i assemble the cake on friday -- it will rest in the fridge all weekend until the party so that the currant jam caramel filling will absorb into the cookies and make them soft. yum. are you hungry yet?
