RIP Mr Charters. Fresh Air re-ran a show from 1987 with a great interview the other day. Super interesting dude. I how he gets to meet the original blues men and women he studied after they were already gone.
Claire baked and built, but I frosted and toasted-coconuted this coconut layer cake with rum syrup, vanilla bean pastry creme filling and butter cream frosting. Pretty, if I do say so myself (even though it needs to set in the fridge and get cleaned up a bit).
