The gooiest cake in the world…

I already made this cake, back in June, but as I did some adjustments and as it’s one of the simplest yet most luxurious and satisfying cake in the world, I thought it was worth writing about it again!I had some kumquats (or Chinese mandarins) in the fridge since ages, waiting for a nice duck

My top ten of 2006 and 5 thing you shouldn’t/wouldn’t know about me

When Sigrid tagged me for this meme I thought: Oh, no… But then I began to look at the entries of last year, my first year of blogging, and I realize that I did some “amazing” things that I couldn’t dare if I had no one but my family and friends to share it with…

This year I dare…

Following this good idea form my friend Ilva, at Lucullian Delights, I will provide for future reference (:-D today I’m so funny I laugh all alone for my pointless choice of words!!!) the list of the five attempts I will try this year, not in chronological order, not even in challenging order, just random:1.
