Let Them Eat Cake
Thank you, Mara.
I made a cake for the Holy Day yesterday! Boy, was it yummy!
What does this have to do with Mara? She sent me some orange marmalade made from the oranges from the Ridvan Garden at Bahji. That makes the marmalade special. I could have just eaten it, but I wanted to share this special treat with the whole community. But how? Toast for everyone? No, that didn't quite do the trick for me. So, I went to my Cooking Light book.
I found a Marmalade cake. No, you don't put the marmalade in the cake, but on the cake. I'm not sure why it is a 'light' cake. It had more butter than a cake mix. The marmalade was sort of bitter from the rinds. You can't get this kind of marmalade here. Only the sweet kind. The bitter marmalade played nicely against the sweet cake, and the sour juice permeating the cake and the sour cream in the frosting. Wow! It was good. Now, I'm not sure that everyone appreciated the cake, but I thought it was pretty yummy! And special. Thank you, Mara.
I didn't make it to the store to shop for the camera. Gloria and I didn't even get to eat lunch. Maybe nest week?

Yay! I´m glad you enjoyed. That´s what is important to me!
We´re having a great time in Madrid. We spent the holy day in Toledo and it was such a wonderful time!!
There will eventually be oodles of pictures :-)
Tonight we´re taken by the fact that a ´soft´journalist here in Spain basically defamed the Faith on national television... tests to come for the Spanish Baha'is. Of course, not a word of it was true - which should make it fairly simple to refute what she said.
