In honor of the new Van Gogh
In honor of the recently unveiled, rediscovered and undisputed Van Gogh painting, “Sunset at Montjour”, I give you cake. Well, actually, Yat gives you cake… he sent this photo my way recently… it seemed apropos to post today… thank you, Yat. Now… raise your tubs of frosting and let’s toast Vinnie! Then… LET them eat cake!

Incidentally, I will be at the cake tomorrow… Judy is making me an Absinthe cake (not entirely unrelated to the Starry Night cake shown… as Vincent had a liking for Absinthe). If you’ve not had it, you are missing out, certainly. There is a fine recipe in the highly entertaining book, The Sweet Life in Paris, by David Lebovitz.
Happy Birthday Bridgett!!!
THanks, and to YOU, TOO!
Uhhmm….Does Judy need a taste tester for that absinthe cake?? I know it would be a total hardship but I would willingly give of myself to tast test it just so it’s perfect for you….it could take a couple of cakes though! ha ha ha
That is so cool. (Do they still say cool? I’m from an earlier generation. Beatniks were a whole differnt bunch.)
