When I was in year 4 or 5 I can't remember I had a play date with a girl from school who I didn't usually play with. She invited me over on a Saturday I rode my bike over to her place -we played totem tennis and drank green cordial. But the thing that has stuck in my mind from that single Saturday in 1986 sometime is one of food. A great partnership of chocolate and mint. Her mum had made a cake - a chocolate cake with mint icing and little choc chips all over the top. It was magic, I'm sure it's because partly I was eating in sin - knowing I was breaking my strict ( necessary and good for me) eczema diet, but this cake has left an indelible mark on my good memory.
We remade the cake yesterday as a part birthday cake and part "I'm sorry I hit you in the head with a wood- golf club and you needed 3 stitches and couldn't sleep over on Tuesday - Lachlan" cake.
It was good.
Minty and chocolatey goodness rolled into one mouthful.
I had a small taste - unfortunately chocolate cake is on my list of not eating everything that I see weight loss remedy. Shame cause I hear its siren song from the Tupperware.
was it Nadia?
