Guest Post from The Hai ( And The Case Of The Disappearing Photos)

I  just read this email from the Hai ( GG's father) and thought he might  be ready for his own blog.  I know I'm ready for a slice of his cake!

Hi all,

Hope everybody is doing fine, especially the expedition group in Germany........

Did something totally different today: backed my first plum cake/tart , using the 1,2,3 Mürbeteig recipe with slight modifications (8 ounces  sugar, 16 ounces butter, 24 ounces  flour, 2 egg yolks, vanilla extract, lemon juice), knead the dough, rested it for 45 minutes in the fridge, kneaded it again and rolled it out on the kitchen table covered with flour, put it into a sheet cake pan, gave it an extra roll, covered the dough with  one layer of plum slices, and backed it at 400 F for 40 minutes.  Looks and tastes delicious.....

Love to all of you .....

Hai 

PS:  Guten Appetite 

Does he remember my birthday Is Sunday?
