Passover Baking Time!

posted by [personal profile] selkie at 03:24pm on 27/03/2007

Selkie Should Make:

-- Pesach sponge cake, lemon

-- Pesach sponge cake, chocolate

-- Nigella Lawson's clementine cake

-- Triple-citrus bars with Linzer crust

-- Flourless chocolate cake

-- Macarons Laduree

I should qualify: I make a bitchin' Pesach sponge cake. I don't know how I do, but I always do. (The trick is hanging it over a liquor bottle...)
Sorry it's not a real poll. I can't justify paid time anymore!

In which Selkie talks about her new book...

...in hopes that I will thusly be motivated to chug along and finish it. Chuggily.

It  has a Holocaust survivor who has to learn that the only safe thing to do is to go back to Russia.  It has the lost city of Kitezh. It has global warming! And the previously mentioned cheirophant pickpocket. It is my attempt to write a clearly Jewish fantasy that doesn't sound dumb and isn't dated quite the same way as a Hasidic folk story. It has a subterranean medical school.  It has a prison, a garden, a parking garage, a gearworld feel to it, and some gay.

Okay, yes, it still has the gay.

I think I can,  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
