Made a double batch of my famous apple flapjacks for my last seminar
of term, then traipsed round the department feeding random academics
with the leftovers. The three women I managed to run into said yes
(they included the head of department and the secretary, so good moves
there); the three men said no, from reasons ranging to having just had
jaffa cakes and carrot cake in their own seminar, to having a mortal
dread of dried fruit.

The way to my step-father's heart is through old-fashioned English
puddings, so I invented a vegan bread and butter pudding for him (make
a tofu custard, basically). My parents are coming up for a few days
for Passover, and it's also my step-father's 70th that day, so I need
to be able to produce a wheat-free, egg-free cake by then. Experiment
#2 with ground almonds will be starting shortly. (I'm the vegan.)

But cake-making in general is fairly easy, I used to trot out
chocolate cakes at the drop of the hat. I don't drink, I have to
bring something to parties, and they've been known to make their way
to uni too.

Senna sounds most exciting, keep us posted. What colour is your
cat...at present?
