12 days until Christmas, Gentle Reader, if that’s your thing. Here is a bit of fun from the Finishing School Tumblr.
Something you can bake for others?
- Crustless White Chocolate Cheesecake. I made mine with added lemon rind.
- Dark Chocolate Orange Almond Cake.
Both are naturally GF, which is to say the original recipe never called for flour. I’m not GF myself, but that doesn’t mean a good cake can’t be eggy and delicious.

I like your holiday suggestions, but if you really want to know my Christmas wish list, I would love additional stories about Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings or Felix. Because, you know. Happiest of Holidays, and thanks for sharing a slice of your mind with us all!
No too far away, but it’s coming. I must say, he will keep popping up, like a bad penny.
I too would adore seeing dear Channing more frequently (especially with Imogen)!
And, dear Miss Gail, I resent that the Twelve Days of Finishing made me cackle in a very quiet library. I do believe that yon bespectacled gentleman is judging me now. Hmph.
Oh dear, my apologies! Yes Channing is on the docket. Don’t you worry.
