bundt in the oven



well, not any more.

this is a basic apple cake recipe from better crocker. it has caramel frosting. it is supposed to be a rectangular cake, but i wanted to use my bundt pan. i hope it's moist and tasty! tashi licked the frosting bowl clean, which is enough for a kid this late on a school night. she'll get a piece of cake in her lunch box tomorrow. dan and i will eat some tonight while watching dreaming lhasa. i'll report back.

speaking of lhasa, a friend and former co-worker invited me last friday to viewing of 10 questions for the dalai lama. do clickety to check out the trailer. it was quite excellent, a great interweaving of politics and history and philosophy and storytelling. i would recommend it to anyone, but especially to those who know very little about the dalai lama and the chinese occupation of his homeland. it was artful and educational, thought provoking and sad. but not so sad that you feel nihilistic at the end. sad in a way that makes you want to change the world.
