Naked

You know how some people feel naked when they aren't wearing, say, a watch that they usually wear all the time.  Well, that's how I felt today in Patisserie, except it wasn't my watch - it was my camera.  I forgot to bring my camera, can you believe it?  Incroyable, as the French would say.

So, the only photo of the Buche de Noel that I made is the finished version.  To give you a vague idea of how to make it - there is a lot of butter cream, a little bit of sponge cake, and enough rum to make Old St. Nick's cheeks quite rosy.
