One of the blogs I follow is Sentence First, subtitled An Irishman's blog about the English language. Mostly. The most recent post is a recipe for "Banana bread-cake". I'm not a keen cook, but the recipe looks wonderful. If anyone cares to try it, do let us know how it turns out.
What caught my eye, however was this paragraph:
quote:
The ingredient quantities are double the original quantities because I usually make two bread-cakes at a time: one for me and whoever is around, and one for some other person or household. Although this adds a few minutes to the baking time, on balance it wastes significantly less energy and allows more satisfaction to be distributed.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
