Even near his end, he thought about others first. Not being Canadian, I didn't really know what did, but I went through all the links on him and was touched that he always worked towards unity for Canada, and that he had passages from both the Bible and Quran read at his funeral. This post is a wonderful tribute to the guy, and yes, your gumdrop cake would also be a BIG hit in my house!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634978698718844851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-27783239426118285802011-08-25T08:46:01.819-04:002011-08-25T08:46:01.819-04:00I am deeply touched Aube by your writing, by the i...I am deeply touched Aube by your writing, by the images and by the memories.

Thanks for the comments and lots of love to you! xoxo<br />PS: Pat, I'm most definitely not a morning person, so it's a bit of a miracle that that happened... but I found the recipe the night before and had been feeling so weepy all day from the news and I just got really excited about making it so yes, I actually did get up very early and baked it before work! Probably it will never happen again ;-)Kitchen Vignetteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189372660575801386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-48089480128232206292011-08-24T17:27:14.568-04:002011-08-24T17:27:14.568-04:00Aube - you baked this BEFORE work???

I just checked out your blog and it's gorgeous, I especially love the sound of zuchini, pea and mint fritters! I've got some mint in the backyard so I'll have to try that this week.

You're so right about how food connects us- I know that whenever I make my husband's Mum's favourite recipes, he always feels like she's still with us.torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511490633610442390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-67808353235827191992011-08-23T13:54:26.016-04:002011-08-23T13:54:26.016-04:00Wonderful Aube! - just a beautiful post to honor J...Wonderful Aube! - just a beautiful post to honor Jack Layton.

Your photos and posts are wonderful!<br />It sounds like we're almost-neighbours... I also live in Jack Layton's riding, and have for almost all my life. <br />I always admired his panache and optimism, both of which shine even in that last letter. We lost a hero yesterday. He was truly one of the last great Canadian politicians.<br />Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'll be baking a gumdrop cake in Jack's honour later this week.Isabelle @ Crumbhttp://www.crumbblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-38495496196543285722011-08-23T11:02:05.342-04:002011-08-23T11:02:05.342-04:00Beautiful tribute to a wonderful man whose loss is...Beautiful tribute to a wonderful man whose loss is felt deeply in this country.
