My grandmother used to make it, possibly for its "medicinal" benefits, but I just like the taste! Even my OH, who claims to like very few cakes, will eat a slice of it. Sadly, it's not to everyone's taste so I rarely make it as I'd have to eat it all myself.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-43528070259132798662020-06-12T08:02:04.143+01:002020-06-12T08:02:04.143+01:00Somehow your blog title rings a bell; have we bump...Somehow your blog title rings a bell; have we bumped into each over the years? Gently.<br /><br />I'm here because a certain Tom Stephenson commented on my most recent post about doing journalistic interviewing. There was a knowingness about the way he writes. If he does a blog he keeps it secret but yours was among the blogs he follows and I thought I'd mosey over.<br /><br />I do not bake (I'm married to one who does) but baking interests me from a molecular-chemico point of view; the sheer modern-day magic of turning a disparate set of ingredients (some inedible) into a structure that resembles none of them never fails to entrance me. Yesterday my choice was solicited and a seed cake was created in time for my brunch-time coffee. It's the most adult cake I know. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate.<br /><br />If we did pass by like ships in the night it's not surprising. I've been francophile for half my very advanced years. For a decade we had a house in Loire Atlantique. One of my favourite novels is <i>Gros Calin</i>, Romain Gary.
