June 1 – Lecture at the Lensic
For Nan’s birthday month, we went to hear photographer,Chris Rainier (Cultures on the Edge), at the Lensic, after having drinks at Hervé Wine Bar – best white wine: 631 Malvasia-Riesling; red: D.H. Lescombes Limited Release Cabernet Franc. We sampled the tuna tartare – nice, the bruchetta (great), and a hearty cheese board.

Pound Cake Recipe
Grease the bundt pan with lots of butter. Preheat oven to 350.
- 3 sticks of butter, softened (use papers to grease pan)
- 300 g turbonado sugar – combine with butter until fluffy
- 6 lg eggs – add individually and beat into batter
- 350g of flour – add with the following
- 1 cup Bulgarian yogurt – until batter is correct consistency (add milk if too stiff
- 1 t of vanilla.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
This recipe comes from the New York Times. The sugar by weight was halved, and the cake was still plenty sweet. Came out of oven into a box with a towel so it cooled slowly as we drove to Nan’s. Came out of pan, perfectly.
Whip cream and serve over slices covered with sliced strawberries.
