Great minds. Made the same cake 2 weeks ago. Added 1 cup of finely chopped dates that had soaked in hot water for 30 mins. Drained dates and added to batter. Delicious!
I must tell you that I made this cake a second time and it was a complete failure. I really have no idea what I did wrong, but I'm glad yours worked out well.
Always a great read, Marg. I’m with you on not needing to read the latest, most talked about book. In fact I sometime like to go back to old classics, even children’s books—anything to escape the present moment. I also laugh about how often “trump” shows up as a verb or adjective (trumped-up charge). I try to avoid using it whenever possible. Love your salad and cake combo—perfect!
Just wondering if you’ve picked the next book yet. Maybe an old classic?
Another great summary of a reading life. I was very interested in The Correspondent until 400 days in prison. I just cannot do prison scenes, stories anymore. Shantaram is a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts, and his prison stay cured me of any further prison stories. Great book, but no thanks. Love your eating habits. Thank you Margaret.
I hope I didn’t confuse you by referencing two books with the same title? Only one is about prison, the one with the pink cover is about an older woman who loves writing letters. You would love it.

I have been pondering the next book more than you could possibly imagine. Still going back and forth! 😀

I got it. The story of the woman and her letters is a definite. Thanks again,
