Yes, I realize with great sadness that summer is no longer with us.
But having grown up in Singapore, where it’s generally about 90 degrees all year round, I’ve always chosen to regard this little “four seasons” concept as more of a state of mind.
And my state of mind all year round tends to veer toward clear blue skies, suncreen and sand-between-my-toes kind of weather.
Which is how I found myself thinking about tropical lime-coconut cake all morning.
And, just when I thought I was being silly and a little too wistful about bygone pie-filled, scorching-hot days these sage words popped up courtesy of Gwen, a chef who blogs at Pen & Fork: “Ignore the calendar. Proceed full speed ahead with ‘put the lime in the coconut’ cake and eat it all up.”
Sound words indeed.
