That's 10" by what?
Mary is right, round. Or any pan that holds 3 litres. darn metric.

We used to do a pear gingerbread dessert at the Biltmore, but we did it in hotel pans. Given how easy it is to lay the pears out in a perfect grid in the hotel pan you immediately see how the cake should be cut into perfect rectangles. it made cutting the dessert very easy, as it would always be on a defined grid.

lol Java...me too. the wink was becaue the recipe lists the pan in inches but the volume in litres. i used to have a square springform..loved it and it disappeared. sigh. This cake would looke nice in one like that and like amy points out would slice easier. |

Mary, Amy: Well, I guess I'm so used to making rectangular gingerbread that circular didn't even occur to me. Lemme see ... so a 9X13 pan would be approximately 1.5 recipes. Right! My in-laws have a whole fridge full of pears from their pear trees, so this recipe is excellent timing. I'll let you know how it goes using fresh pears. |

Yay! I was able to buy a rack of lamb from the restaurant. Significantly cheaper than in the store. What has happened to the price of lamb for the last year?! Amy |

Ok, so I think I've worked this out. Christmas Eve will be Georgian food:
Christmas morning is bagel breakfast with the works, as usual. Christmas day we're going to a friend's, apparently I'm making bread. So I'll try my hand at sourdough-semolina. |

The gingerbread was fantastic, thanks Jean. I served it with some sweetened whipped cream. And my 8 in square spring form was the perfect size. Mary |

Just found some lamb shoulder at the tiny (only) grocery store in my hometown...$1.99/lb. Not much else to recommend here, I'm afraid. Though I did help my mom make 5 pies for Christmas dinner... And I forgot to bring any wine, so it's going to be a dry Christmas (we do have beer, I guess...)
