Love your explanation of their songs especially. I have wondered what a "sponge" cake was ever since seeing The Calendar Girls movie. It must be basically when you beat egg whites and yolks separately and then incorporated the dry ingredients. Am I right? I am so hungry writing about it now! Did you see that movie? It is one of my favorites. Happy Day to you!honeysucklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07631983504363385023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-70987048861926905572009-02-26T23:16:00.000+00:002009-02-26T23:16:00.000+00:00Beautiful post, Marie!Beautiful post, Marie!Maryannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09165958961312167772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-7623895142726401402009-02-26T23:08:00.000+00:002009-02-26T23:08:00.000+00:00What a lovely myth.

But all turned out well.<br><br>The hot milk cake - it was just about a year ago that I made, for the first time, such a cake. The process is so interesting.

I don't hear them in the winter. I don't know if it is because they are not singing or if I just can't hear them with our windows closed. I will look forward to hearing them more as the weather warms up.<br><br>I am a bit blue tonight... I got called in to see the bishop and got released from YW .
