Food from the end of 2011

I was told there was going to be a European-style Christmas market in Williamsburg next to a German restaurant called Loreley. When I got to the appointed place at the appointed time, there was no market. So I went inside, talked to the waiter in my really awkward German and had some Nürnburger sausages and my first-ever mulled wine.

A few days after I got home, my mother asked me to make an olive oil almond cake, which I’d done several times before with this excellent recipe. The glaze on mine is kind of messy, but it tasted good.
