Shaun & Dianncy, thank you for your help on the Santa Lucia cake. I agree Shaun

that the Italian recipe you linked is minimalist. If you happen to have the one from Tanis, would you be able to fax it to me, rather than typing it out?

So how was it? Should I shop for chestnut flour or scratch it from my To Make list?

I could not get into my greenhouse to get the rosemary. The zipper froze, I jammed it

, split it, cursed it, and now I have to reorganize my thoughts as I am lost without my herbs.

I'm expecting some sun soon, to warm up that zipper. (and 80 degree weather)

Funny you should mention that. H keeps asking from the bar, if Meyer lemons are available yet.
