Plum Torte

While cleaning out my drafts on here, I discovered this Post from back in April. I'm happy 'cuz I really haven't had time to blog lately (oh, you noticed?) and now I have one more day before I start to feel guilty about neglecting my poor blog.

I made some Plum Torte for my dad the other day, and thought I'd share. Have you had Plum Torte? You really should try it. It's the easiest recipe, and makes a lovely sort of coffee cake, perfect for Sunday mornings...or Thursday afternoons..or, uh, Friday midnight snacks. Yeah.

I've been making this torte since I could reach the counter while standing on a stool. Its that easy. Everyone in my family has different favorite parts of this torte, the amazing crunch-y buttery top, the warm gooey soft plums, the the crumby, cake-like torte itself...the list goes on and on.

Alright. Let's get baking.

Me and Ice Cream Cakes

I made an ice cream cake the other day. It made me feel old.

You know why? 'Cuz I couldn't for the life of me think of how to make one. I had distinct memories of myself pushing up a stool to the counter(I started cooking at a tender age) and assembling lovely culinary masterpieces. Or at least they were for a 6-year-old.

And here I am, years and years later, and I can't even think of what to put in one, besides the obvious:

This was June

June was a crazy month for me. July is going to be insane. I'm not going to think about that now though. I'm going to sit at my dad's old high school desk - which is now mine- drink my all of my coffee, and look at photo's my sister and I took over the last month.

I say my sister because she took more than me, and better ones than me, and somehow my pictures always end up being food photos. Huh.

So I'm going to borrow some of hers to fill in the gaps.
