La Reine de SabaOn Monday, I was in search of a recipe in Bon Appetit and I came under the influence of the latest Julia Child craze. There on the website was a picture of a chocolate cake from Mastering the Art of French Cooking. My mom loves chocolate cake, so I copied the recipe and stuck it in a file for future reference. I didn't know that the cake was going to be in the film Julie and Julia, which Mom and I went to see yesterday. After we left the theater, Mom mentioned the cake. I told her I had the recipe.
"You do?" She was a little incredulous. I just happened to have all the ingredients on hand, but I didn't tell her. The name of the cake is translated the Queen of Sheba.
While Queen Mom was at work, I left a message on her voice mail this afternoon saying I had a surprise for her and that it was edible.
She liked it. It's hard not to rejoice at the marriage of chocolate, butter and eggs.
