A Mothers Day Cake

[Deleted member 67185]

When I asked Jill what kind of cake she wanted for Mother's Day, she replied that she wanted me to make a Tarte de Santiago. I was surprised she didn't request chocolate, but she seems to have taken a liking to the Tarte that I bake.

Dave, is there anything you don't know, or can't do? Your posts never fail to amaze.

Believe me, there is a world of stuff that I would love to know and do Since childhood I've been fascinated with learning and doing. And some things I just can't grasp or do well despite my best efforts. I do try and follow Robert Heinlein's edict from "Time Enough For Love":

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

Hmmm, I think I can do only about half those things, and it seems there's no good reason for me to try to do most of the others!
