Everything came to a standstill.

Eyes much better today thanks to splendid treatment at my surgery. No longer resembling red eyed devil. Can now see enough to bake cakes and do a little light dusting at waist level.

My cake - see below - resembles Mont Blanc but tastes delicious. Can use orange juice in place of Grand Marnier which does lift it out of the ordinary 'drizzle' cake mode.

This is a basic madeira cake recipe used by chefs all over the world. 

Can add anything to it  - barring boot polish - to change flavour.

Bon appetit!
