strawberry summer cake
It is not summer yet. In fact, it’s been raining for more than a week, and another week — the one in which I presume we’ll be introduced to our new mosquito overlords — is promised. In fact, it was so cold that I met a friend for lunch today and had to wear both a light wool sweater a jacket. It’s almost like summer looked at New York City and said “pbbbblt!”
