Thank you, Emily. I was drawn to the discussion of wintry cake. I'm certainly not trying to avoid writing test cases, or optimizing a freakishly slow SQL query, oh no.

It's the distant and not-well-liked relative factor that does it, isn't it? I mean, if you have warm ovens and spice and gooey things soaking in booze and good smells and all that, it sounds quite nice. But when something vaguely stale arrives every year from Aunt Pearl who smells a little funny and doesn't seem to really like children, it's kind of the culinary equivalent of getting scratchy socks as a gift.
Oatmeal cookies are the best! With raisens, butterscotch, walnuts or carob chips.

Suddenly I am flashing back to the best dessert I ever had, which was a chocolate steamed cake, very rich and hot, with caramel drizzled on top.
You know what this is going to lead to, don't you?
