I often wish I lived someplace warmer. Or more specifically, a place where
orange trees grow. I can imagine the scent of the blossoms in spring. And the way walking through a grove, heavy with citrus, might feel. In
Italy, this past October we stood on our tiptoes to see oranges over walls. And in California a couple months later we slowed the car for
lemon trees. But I've never actually been to a citrus farm. I've never seen them picked and processed and ready for market. I haven't seen rows and rows of orange fruit or short grass between the trunks. But it is something I've always wanted to do. For now I'm sticking to cake. And this
Cream Cheese Pound Cake by
Cakes & Ale for
Bon Appétit is especially good. xo, N
