ORANGE AND ALMOND CAKE

2 Unblemished oranges
1.5 cups blanched almonds
1 cup castor sugar
5 eggs (61 gram)
1 tsp baking powder
icing sugar for dusting

Butter 8" cake tin.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Place washed oranges in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to boil, cover pan and simmer for TWO HOURS Add extra water during cooking when necessary. Drain oranges and allow to cool.

Blend almonds and sugar in a processor until almonds are in quite small pieces. (most of them will be ground). Transfer to a plate

Blend WHOLE oranges to a purée in the processor. Add almond and sugar mixture and blend briefly before gradually adding eggs and baking powder - blending until smooth.

Poor mixture into tin and bake for one hour. Cool for 10 minutes before unmoulding onto rack.

Dust with icing sugar before serving.

SIMPLE = even I've made it!

Back from a long day. elmore, et al - Michael Cassara knows what he's supposed to do - no need to inundate him with e-mails - he's assured me all is well.

We've had a tentative "yes" from the actress, but her agent is asking for gas and parking money, and it's just way too high an amount at the moment. We're countering with a much smaller amount, and trying to impress upon them the "spirit" of the endeavor. Hopefully, that will work, but I won't know until Monday.

And I hope your actress accepts your offer, BK.

Any chance of having a live chat sometime, BK?

GOod Evening...

Cillaliz · « **Reply #281 on:** August 03, 2007, 05:17:53 PM »

It's finally Friday! When Nadia left today, she told me that she never thought I would be so nice. LOL. She has so much to learn, but our personalities work well together and she wants to learn. I had an "I'll be right back" sign in my window with my name and office phone number on it. She translated it to Spanish and did a new one in English that says "We'll" be right back and has her name on it as well. I thought that was cute

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #282 on:** August 03, 2007, 05:18:48 PM »

I'm glad it's all working out well, Cillaliz.

Her dad is coming to visit from Chicago this weekend and it's his birthday. She's invited me to stop at the party. I don't think I'll stay long, but I do think I'll at least make an appearance. It will be fun to meet her family

Cillaliz · « **Reply #284 on:** August 03, 2007, 05:19:41 PM »

Thanks DR Laura, so am I

Jane · « **Reply #285 on:** August 03, 2007, 05:27:27 PM »

I must confess to only skimming over the posts & looking for direct comments to me. I still am not feeling all that great. When I feel good & have a burst of energy I put it to good use cleaning & doing laundry.

My responses so far:
MBarum, Eagle Point is a bit farther than 15 minutes from us. Remember we are out by the lake.

DakotaCelt, Jeanne, Singdaw-Thank you for the good wishes

From Bruce:
Are we STILL on page seven? What IS going on here? I'll name names, damn it all - no Jane, no 3DDiffusion (where has HE been?), no Laura, no Sandra, who am I leaving out?

Dear Bruce, you obviously weren't reading my posts.

DRs Singdaw & JMK, have a great trip!

Call me crazy, but this bugs me (yes, people have the right to overpopulate the world if they want to) -- but I think if folks have over 2 kids, they ought to pay a fine

I have the same reaction, and it is the biggest reason we stopped at two children.

That sentiment will probably cost you a few trips around the beads

Are you sure you're Irish?

BB SPOILERS

I've been watching this season and I actually like it a lot. I'm not sure why, but I do. Dick amuses me. Amber should go home. Her crying bs is for the birds. Eric can't last forever, the votes "America" is asking him to cast are too unpopular. Someone is bound to figure him out and Dick and Danielle are close. The banner was not good, but sometimes I wonder if the Producers don't have something to do with it...to mix things up a little.

I don't particularly like Jen or Kail and wouldn't shed a tear for them. Jameka...oh please...God has already decided who is going to win BB. LOL, more power to her, but that's going a bit far. So, do I really like anyone...no, but at the same time, I am enjoying the show

After landing she got out of her car and took a series of pictures, great pictures. You can view these pictures on http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/popup?id=3439572.

Amazing how cell-phone cameras and the Internet are changing newsrporting.

On an aside - I can't wait for the next school board meeting when the administraters attempt to ban student cell phones!

Oh, and I'm up. And yes, there was two minutes of hammering, but by the time I got up and was ready to go have a conversation, it had stopped. I have to locate exactly where it's coming from.

Clearly you have carpenter ants!

Hope you're feeling better soon DR Jane. Don't forget to concentrate on the two main food groups - ice-cream and chocolate.
