For the cake:
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 large eggs
zest of a lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
zest of another lemon (but if you don't have two lemons, it's fine without)
We're working on moving this blog over to where it will be easier to organize and have its own URL.
Naturally, we are not doing this in any reasonable sequence or with any sort of master plan.
To you, everything seems exactly as it was, right down to the desultory posting. To us, it's a bit frantic.
In the ideal world, you wouldn't even notice — it would just happen.
And indeed, you are not noticing.
What's to notice?
We have an awesome vision (very different from a plan), but of course are executing while running out the door to teach a class, get to the Commissary before the “hordes” descend there, and/or proofing a manuscript. That's life, right?
So stay tuned. Bear with us. You probably can look forward to things being a bit easier to find, after an initial uproar, after no discernible activity.
We promise chickens in the header, so don't fret yourselves!
*I have now made this several times and I have found I prefer the glaze when it goes on the warm cake. Try it that way!

Oh, those lemon things are delicious! I used gluten-free flour (added 1 tsp xanthan gum) and substituted light-tasting olive oil for the butter to meet my family’s needs; and wow, they turned out great! And they use so little flour (which is darn expensive when it has to be gluten-free!)! A definite keeper.

I love reading the hours and would really like to give this book to my sister in law if I win it who is Catholic, I am Greek Orthodox – a close cousin! 🙂
I love your website, wish I had found you 10 + years ago -as my youngest are 13 yrs old and I could have used all your wisdom & advice then. I’m a fledgling beginner knitter and you have inspired me — my goal is to be able to knit socks to send with each of my kids when they go off to college – I figure its like a hug from MOm, for your feet!! xoxo
