So I started my weekend at the Farmer’s Market, which is one of my favorite places. This Saturday, though, I was panicking. The end of summer is upon us and all of the things I intended to buy “next week” were no longer there! Where were the figs? I told myself that I would buy figs! And I didn’t!

Drunken Date and Honey Oat Cake

It is one of those cakes that is all fruit and barely any batter, and it tastes like a toasty oat bran muffin, sweet with honey, and a punch from the drunken dates and raisins.
