not quite four. Honestly.
Of course, we weren't longing for a load of snow, but they hype it up so - and the drama on the weather sites - there are terrible earthquakes all around the world, volcanoes erupting - snow in New England is to be expected, for heaven's sake. So I made a little cake, with spices and pumpkin. And some dark chocolate pieces.
"I have tried to make life a creative art... Happy homes are very important, I think, far more important than you realize, and God knows how many of them have been built up by the sacrifice of private longings. I am inclined to think that nothing so fosters creative action as the sacrifice of feeling. It's like rain coming down upon the corn."
- Elizabeth Goudge, The Bird in the Tree
A cozy combination of quotes and images you've put together here, including your cake that includes several of my favorite flavors in one loaf.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out very nice, although the amount of nutmeg surprised me; it’s rather a lot. But it was really too much batter for a nine-inch cake pan, so I’ll have to make a note of that.
