in summer comes the time for free time & indulging in the indulgences! i love being in toronto because i walk or bike everywhere or go for pretty jogs around my neighbourhood, therefore not feeling bad at all when i bake a gigantic cake or go out for the biggest ice cream you've seen in your life!
the other evening my friend beth and i eagerly tried our luck at
this grapefruit cake recipe. i'm going to be perfectly honest. i'm a HUGE grapefruit fan. i eat half a grapefruit every morning, will always order grapefruit juice if it's on a menu, use
grapefruit bodywash, and buy most of my clothes in a shade of light pink grapefruit.
anywho, bethy and i had a jolly old time with this slightly tricky recipe!

| clémentine wine, of course, keeping with our citrus theme... |
 |
| i gave bethy the fun job of juicing grapefruits with our old school, wooden juicer before remembering we have an electric juicer... oops!! |
 |
| bethy checking the cake... |
voilà!! we were quite thrilled! although beth's boyfriend found the cake "too moist" (he must be confused). it's not quite as pretty as emily schuman's, but alas, we had had quite a bit of clémentine vino. à la prochaîne!
he was certainly confused. fun day! note to self: must wear summery colours in the summer, and fall colours in the fall.
