I adapted a cake recipe today adding ginger rather than Lemon and it is scrumptious! I took some next door to share. The original was Lemon and Blueberry Streusel Cake – mine is Ginger and Blueberry Streusel Cake. It is particularly good served warm with ice-cream or cream.

The Christmas (!) Cactus is fully in flower and is gorgeous.

Bottom to top. Shadow, you have to know caught eye and imagination. Cacti; you share a knack for care with my mother, but I gave up years ago. The cake, the cake, the cake, takes the cake. Ginger and blue berries seems a perfect meld. Lemon, ginger and blue berries probably work as well? Do blue berries grow wild somewhere over there, as do here?

Oh, and the design on the plate – pleases my primitive eye.

sadly, blueberries don’t grow wild here but people do grow them in their garden. Hope all is well with you. 🙂

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a Christmas cactus that color. It’s so delicately beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

I’m not a fan of the very pink ones so when I saw this, I just had to bring it home. This is its second season with us. 🙂

I hope the Christmas cactus we have looks half as good some day. Now . . . how about a slice of that cake!
