So I hosted book club at my house tonight. I know, I know, more nerd hobbies. Our book was The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. I can't really recommend it- the ridiculously unresolved story telling and lack of quotation marks were unsettling- but it did spark some good conversation. It's about a girl who can taste people's feelings in the food they cook. It did inspire some good cake. I can happily recommend the easy lemon cake from Six Sisters' Stuff. Although Miriam said chocolate on lemon cake is "just wrong," we found it to be tasty, although somewhat overpowered by the chocolate. And since nobody complained of it tasting lonely or tired or relieved, we must all be lucky and just taste food in our food. I'm particularly happy that I can at least appreciate the cake!
