"Holly Burns" news and stories

I've been reading Nothing But Bonfires for awhile now. I stumbled across it a couple of years ago, when I read a comment that Holly had written over at another site. I liked her writing style (at least what I could glean of it from a two-sentence comment) and so followed the link over to her site. Most of the time she writes about The Bachelor, her international childhood or her sister's search for the perfect prom dress. However, once in a while, when the stars shift into alignment, she writes about food.

Today she wrote about the Chocolate Biscuit Cake she made for her work bake sale and they looked screen-licking good. Most of the ingredients are widely available in the UK and spottily available in the US. I think that in these parts I could probably track down most of them at Wegman's. Holly recommends checking out World Market (aka Cost Plus). This recipe calls for Lyle's Golden Syrup, which also happened to be a favorite of the late food writer Laurie Colwin (she always used it to make gingerbread). Anyway, enough digressing. Go check out her recipe and make yourself drool as I have been doing all day long.
