1/10: an experiment

Today I made a chocolate biscuit cake but added 1 cup of fruit peel/citron and broken-up gingerbread instead of other cookies.  It tastes like Christmas in a single bite.  My goal had been to make this for Christmas Day, but we had a lot of other goodies on hand and the grocery store was out of peel.  Next year I'll plan ahead!  But for now it's nice to have a bit of holiday-ness lingering this week as we transition to back-to-school.
