Love the new pot pot! And speaking of language, in the US we say Chai Tea and I recently learned that Chai means tea - lol.

And do enjoy the pumpkins and squash for me. While summer is my favorite season, the pumpkin bounty of the fall is some of my favorite food.

It would appear that your entire family is bilingual :-). Your photos are wonderful. This is my first visit to your blog, so I took some time to poke about. I'll be back. I really enjoyed the time I spent here. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

You're so sweet - thanks for the offer! It was done and dusted and nervously handed-in on Thursday after two weeks of stressing and lotttttttts of typing!

P.S. If you love Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, try to see a DVD called 'The Way' with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. It's a modern day, feel-good pilgrimage movie of the Camino de Santiago de Compostella in France/Spain, and it's brilliant!

Jealous. :p

Hello! LOVE the stamps, but love Chaucer even more. Can I help at all, or am I too late? Egads. Hope all is well, and good luck with your assignments!

Thank you so much for the reply Juanita! I bought the ingredients and managed to find some very high quality chocolate with no milk solids and will follow your tip. Thanks again so much. I look forward to trying more of your recipes as well!

Hello Roberta,

Thank you for your comment. I couldn't find your e-mail address, so I hope you see this reply.

Don't be fearful of this recipe - it turns out brilliantly every time! For instance, even if it is a bit underdone, it tastes like chocolate-fudge brownies :-)

The topping is indeed like a glaze which you can pour on top, although, you will need a knife or palette knife to smooth it a bit. If you melt dark chocolate (many 70% chocolate varieties do not contain milk solids) very slowly on low heat in the microwave, stirring occasionally, you can leave out the milk as an ingredient.

Good luck with the birthday cake and your husband's allergies! I hope you find my recipe section very helpful in this regard. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me if you have any further questions about recipe substitutions, etc.

Hello Juanita,
I just found your blog a few days ago and am so happy and grateful. My husband has just been diagnosed with allergies to eggs, gluten and cow's milk. I have been at a loss since I have never had to adjust recipes or think about ingredients. His birthday is coming up and I'm going to make this cake as it looks yummy and he loves chocolate. I am excited and a little fearful, I must admit. Is the frosting like a glaze that you just pour on top? I think my husband thinks he has to forgo birthday cake this year so I am really looking forward to serving this.

Thank you so much!

What a lovely memory remembering warm happy days of your youth. I have always loves Saturdays since it's the one day of the week that I could truly relax with nothing to do. :) I love your breakfast ritual... well done! :)
