I just read that Heston Blumenthal does a meat pate that looks exactly like an orange. I guess we all love visual jokes...especially on holidays. Great cake and lovely job.

Contrary to popular belief, carrots actually caused her to lose her head: One night during dinner at Versailles, the subject of starving peasants came up. Marie said (in French, of course), "Let them eat carrots; they're tasty, cheap, and you can grow them anywhere". Then she turned to a server and said, "Cake, please." By the time the story of this exchange reached Paris, certain details were lost in the retelling...well, we know what happened next.alfred p.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-35647542366330682582011-04-24T23:38:24.837-04:002011-04-24T23:38:24.837-04:00To say I am delighted I stopped in this evening is...To say I am delighted I stopped in this evening is an under statement, T.W.
