What am I doing again?
I have several assignments due soon, all in varying states of begunness. I don't know front from back anymore.
My inside out is head.
But I do know, I liked this cake.
Went to Arcadia on Gertrude St for breakfast this morning, not really hungry, and ate a savoury muffin that was good, but maybe would have made a better lunch. It was quite salty. But the texture - moist in the middle, chewier/crisper on the edges, oh the edges were gorgeous. A hint of cheese, which went nicely with the potato, rosemary, olives and capsicum. Could have done with a little bit more bits of capsicum, but it was good. Ah, I'm getting hungry thinking about it.
I remembered to take my camera, and then forgot to take it out of my bag.
No Bircher muesli on the menu, which disappointed me. Apparently the French toast was really good, but I wasn't in the mood. And the other breakfast stuff wasn't that appealing. Eggs with spinach/smoked salmon would have been nice, but again, I'm not a fan of eggs before midday, really.
The lunch stuff, however... looked good. The sandwiches looked like my kind of thing.
On the way out, I spotted this cake.
Want.
Asked what it was, for interest's sake: lemon and polenta.
Had to have.
Sorry I didn't take a picture when everything was all pretty in the cabinet.
Sorry I didn't take a picture when it was intact in its little brown paper bag.
Sorry it's all gone.
But I had to document this crumb!
So grainy, perfect amount of sweet, not that lemony. Lumps of it falling off as it came apart.
Researching. No, not cake. Uni.
Cake.
Uni.
Cake.
What a happy word.

I like Arcadia too, I was there last Saturday. It's a great spot to grab a coffee and pull up a seat in the window and do some sketching :)
