I’m finally back from out of town- just in time to spend Valentine Day with you. Have you ever had a Grapefruit cake? If you haven’t you should really try it. Oatmeal soaked in grapefruit juice then baked into a cake great with your morning coffee. I made a quick yogurt sauce with grapefruit juice, by straining the yogurt until thick then I added freshly squeezed grapefruit juice to reconstitute. Wow lovely, and topped it with little hearts. Enjoy!!
