PS. I felt like cake; made one and ate a slice.

A story about la pâtisserie, memories, , , , , , .

Written on le Friday 17 February 2012.

A friend, of the dear-to-my-heart kind, made this cake today. A few thousands of kilometres away. And I did too. In ten minutes, from cupboards to oven*.

It was eaten on the couch. To the sound of summertime sadness**. And raindrops started hitting the kitchen window. And that cup of coffee was slightly too hot to be drank. And, really, I was just missing one thing

But for once, I will have to be patient. Some things are bound to happen.

* It helps that this cake only calls for chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. An almost instant bliss!

** I finally got to hear what the planet seems to be talking about these days. And as much as I wanted not to like it, some of the songs grew on me.

Give me more:

    J’ai un peu honte de connaître la moitié des chansons par coeur…

    What a perfect sounding day! Synchronising with distant friends certainly makes them feel closer

    This cake is The Chocolate Cake. If you’re sad because of life, if you’re happy because of life, well, in any case, make this Chocolate Cake.
