(Yes, dear friends, there is a recipe. Yes, it will be shared. Yes, it tastes even better than it looks. 
Monday, May 01, 2006
Dear ones, your wishes have not gone unheeded. I was full of good intentions to come home and post the recipe last night, but apparently TypePad was feeling fractious again. Keep your fingers crossed for its continued good health, so that I may post it tonight after work.
To address the questions of Miz goliard: Tangerines would probably work, although I think you would have to decrease the sugar, as they’re so much sweeter than grapefruit. Knowing the tangerines you’re getting now, though, I’d say it’s a worthy experiment, to put it mildly. 
And regarding Bob’s Red Mill: Yes! Yes! Yes! I used to mail order their grains, but now that I have a brand-new organic health food store around the corner from my apartment, I can go pick up a bag of teff or amaranth any time I want to. Oooo, a whole new species of notes to compare and contrast between us! Woohoo! (Which reminds me: cherry pie is in the not-too-distant future! Woohoo again!)
As far as the mailability of this cake goes, I guess I could always try freezing it until the frosting sets, then wrapping it in greased plastic, wrapping everything in newspaper, packing it in dry ice and then shipping it, but I’ll bet that even if it survives all that, Homeland Security would be wondering about that package with the fog rising from it, and then it’s goodbye, grapefruit cake. Maybe not, though. Must think about this.
