FOOD!!!!!

 Orange-Almond Cake


So... I swear, this was not all some joke... I'm having a genuine "Bottle Shock" type moment, here...

Remember the cake I ranted about last night?  Well, I decided to keep it in the fridge and make the topping anyway because I just couldn't bring myself to throw all that effort away in the trash and... it is seriously one of the best cakes I have ever tasted.  No joke.  And I'm neither a fan of oranges nor afraid to admit when I screw things up.

Is there a lesson to be learned here?  The importance of patience?  It's not over till it's over?  Don't doubt the Martha?  I don't know.  Yeah, it's just a silly cake, but I'm genuinely shocked right now.  I have a random little sign up right by the door to my room that says, "There will come a time when you believe everything is finished... That will be the beginning."  My brother made me read it out loud a while back when I was having a pretty rough go of things.... and... well, I guess the shoe fits sometimes, doesn't it?  Anyway, enough sappiness!!  The picture of the boiling oranges is from last night, and the slice of cake is from tonight before I more or less inhaled it. 

Bon appetit and a very good night, friends :)
