You can make it for a casual dessert and then eat leftovers for breakfast, or with tea.Ĭranberry Totre (recipe from Wintersweet by Tammy Donroe Inman)

The cake is simple and delicious and keeps well for a few days. I’ve also been in a bit of a cooking rut and returning to old favorites seemed like a comforting thing to do. I started with this torte because it was simple and I excited to buy my first bags of fresh cranberries for the season. It is a very good idea for a book, and many of the recipes I have bookmarked for the upcoming winter. The book is a collection of cold-weather desserts using seasonal (cranberries, citrus, pomegranate) and seasonless (maple, honey, nuts) ingredients. This cranberry torte comes from a book called Wintersweet by Tammy Donroe Inman. It is a good time to celebrate with something that is very familiar around here, a fruit-studded cake. This kind of thing means a lot more when you are friends with a baby.

I am also happy to know that I live in a state that has prioritized this issue and made progress in supporting equal rights. I am glad to have supported the cause, and I very much like the fact that Gabe’s first political act lead to success. My marriage (performed in the great state of Massachusetts!), will finally be recognized in my home state. On Tuesday Illinois became the 15th state to approve extending marriage benefits to same-sex couples. He proved to be a great sidekick, though to be honest he fell asleep pretty early. I thought he might be into DJing because he definitely likes music, and I was right. I consider him one of my best friends, though he has had very little say in the matter and doesn’t even know what a friends is…or a best is. Babies are some of the coolest people in the world, and it has been a real pleasure getting to know this little man who is about to turn seven months old. One of the best things that happened to me in 2013 was the birth of my best friends’ baby, Gabe.

I’d been nervous about the DJ gig, so I brought my friend Gabe with me.

It was a fun night (see playlist below!) full of cool people, and we raised an impressive amount of money. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to be DJing at the Hideout at an event to support the campaign for marriage equality in Illinois.
