Recipe: Flourless Lemon Cake
Recipe: Flourless Lemon Cake
3 large organic lemons (you’ll need 1 cup of puree)
3 large organic, cage-free eggs
1 cup evaporated cane sugar ( I used coconut sugar approx 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp xylitol)
3 cups organic almond meal
For the topping:
2 cups organic, grass-fed whipping cream (or make it with coconut milk)
1/2 cup evaporated cane sugar( 1/4 cup coconut sugar)
1 cup fresh organic raspberries
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325.
2. Wash the lemons, and put them in a pot of water. Boil them for 15 minutes, then drain them and cool them off enough to handle.
3. In a plate (to catch the juice), cut the lemons in half and remove the seeds. Put the lemons, peel and all, into a food processor and process until they are very smooth.
4. Beat the eggs and sugar until they are a pale, creamy color. Add the almond meal and lemon puree and beat well, until combined.
5. Spread the batter into two well-greased 9 inch tart pans.
6. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the cakes cook, whip the cream. Once the cream starts to thicken, slowly add the sugar. Whip until thick.
8. Place one layer of the cake on a plate, and layer some whipped cream over it. Place the second layer face-down over the first, so that the smooth side is up. Layer with more whipped cream, and sprinkle the berries on top.
Enjoy!

Monogamy is not natural? You’re right about that. It’s supernatural.

`Monogamy is not natural. You’re right about that.
It’s supernatural.
It’s above our nature. It might not be realistic. Space flight isn’t
realistic, either. If I wanted to be natural, I could live in a hole
like a rodent, eat insects, and scamper from one mate to the next,
until, after a life of nothingness, I die alone in the cold darkness,
decomposing into the dirt without anyone ever noticing. That would be
natural. It’s probably pretty realistic, too. So it is fortunate that I
am a human being and I am given the chance to transcend the existence
of a rat or a lizard. I have the opportunity to experience supernatural
things like love, and sacrifice, and commitment.`
