Today I made raspberry torte for an autumn Sunday lunch
but the last time I used the recipe
it was summer and we were in the cottage.
MasterM invited a group of friends to stay
and when I came down stairs in the morning
there was an untidy heap of young men in sleeping bags
who had arrived long after I had gone to bed.
The torte was shared around for breakfast
with summer fruit salad and yogurt,
and today, as I weighed the ground almonds,
I thought of MasterM and his friends,tousled and hungover
but making every effort to be charming.
A happy memory indeed to fold into the mixture.

Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be THE very nicest part of having teenagers - a house full of them and their friends - come to think of it I'm missing not only Sarah but all her mates hanging around making the place look untidy in the nicest possible way - Nick and Lou haven't quite got to that stage yet
ReplyDeleteHappy memories.
ReplyDeletethe law of Torte - doubtless on the syllabus for MasterM
ReplyDeleteso that's the secret to teenagers good behaviour... raspberry torte... you better share the recipe!
ReplyDeleteMakes the torte a little bit sweeter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great breakfast!
ReplyDeleteDrooling. I love raspberries (so hard to find here ...)
ReplyDeleteI believe you'll have the same flashback every time you'll bake this. It's divine.
love this " tousled and hungover"
ReplyDeleteBy the sounds of things Mr. M it sounds like Master M already has a full and complete understanding of the subject of Torte.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I never think to have cake in the house on hangover days?! It sounds like the answer to everything!
