Proust dipped a madel\u00e9ine into his tea and\u00a0 wrote about the all-powerful joy of remembering the past.<\/p>\n

I paged\u00a0 my stained and wrinkled family cookbook and\u00a0 “the memory revealed itself”.\u00a0 I discovered my own exquisite pleasure, my own magic, “the remembrance of things past”.<\/p>\n

My Dad\u00a0 in the kitchen baking.\u00a0 Eggs whisked.\u00a0 Flour folded.\u00a0 A fragrant tray of cake baking.\u00a0 The memory, the magic, a tender sponge cake spread with homemade jam, rolled in gritty sugar.\u00a0 Then a picnic and tea with jelly roll slices.<\/p>\n

I put on of my favorite operas, La Bohemme.\u00a0 Filled the kitchen with music and made my childhood memory.\u00a0 A jelly roll.\u00a0 I filled it in the old-fashion manner – with home made jam.\u00a0 Look through pantry, my dear friends.\u00a0 If you have eggs, flour and sugar your half way there.\u00a0 Fill it with any kind of jam, jelly, lemon curd or even just whipped cream.<\/p>\n

Bake an old-fashioned jelly roll.\u00a0 It is good for the soul, and delicious with tea.<\/p>\n
