it's the ironic & controversial rhapsody of an ambiguous bert

Anyway, heading over to Bernard & Stephen's soon for a Xmas's Eve gathering with old friends. (I'm always excited about going to their place because I simply love the interior and the idea that they have a place of their own, although strictly speaking it's actually bernard's flat.)

Traditionally with pot luck sessions that I've attended in the past, I'd usually bring a home-baked cheesecake; this year however with the absence of my mixer (it's really just an excuse), I've once again ordered a fabulous and delectable cake - Cocoa Banana Caramella from The Patissier.
