We All Have Closets. The Hard Conversations We All Need To Have

Coming out of your closet: Ash Beckham at TEDxBoulder

"I'm going to talk to you tonight about coming out of the closet. And not in the traditional sense, not just the gay closet. I think we all have closets. Your closet maybe telling someone you love her for the first time or telling someone that you're pregnant or telling someone that you have cancer or any of the other hard conversations that we have throughout our lives. All a closet is, is a hard conversation. And although our topics may vary tremendously, the experience of being in and coming out of the closet is universal. It is scary and we hate it and it needs to be done. "

"So like many of us I've lived in a few closets in my life and yeah most often, my walls happens to be rainbow. But inside, in the dark you can't tell what color the walls are, you just know what it feels like to live in a closet. So really, my closet is no different than yours or yours or yours. Sure, I give you a hundred reasons why my closet was harder than coming out of yours but here's the thing, hard is not relative, hard is hard. Who can tell me that explaining to someone that you just declared bankruptcy is harder than telling someone that you just cheated on them. Who can tell me that his coming out story is harder than telling your five year old that you're getting a divorce. There is no harder, there is just hard. We need to stop ranking our hard against everyone else's hard, to make us feel better or worse about our closets and just commiserate on the fact that we all have hard.

At some point in our lives, we all live in closets and they make us feel safe, or at least safer than what lies on the other side of that door. But I am here to tell you, no matter what your walls are made of, a closet is no place for a person to live."

Pear Cake Tosca Recipe

This was sent to me by my sister some time back. Since it is now autumn and that means pear season I thought I should put it somewhere I can share.

Helen's Daniel's Pear Tosca Cake

7tbs butter

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1 teasp. vanilla

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

200 mls milk

3-4 pears, peeled and cut into slices and arranged on bottom of 9 inch spring pan ( greased and floured)

Topping:

9 tbs butter

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablesp. flour

3 tablesp milk

100 grams sliced almonds

Melt the butter.

Beat eggs and sugar on high speed for 3-5 mins.

Sift flour and baking powder.

Add milk to melted butter and add vanilla.

When egg and sugar is thick and creamy, add milk mixture making sure you turn mixer down to low first.

Add flour and mix until just incorporated.and pour over pear slices.

Bake in 175C for about 25 mins.

I use convection.

Meanwhile,

Place butter in saucepan and melt, add sugar, stir then add almond slices. Cook, stirring occasionally on medium heat until butter starts to brown, add flour, stir and pour in milk, stir.

Cook for extra couple of minutes until thickened but not too coloured.

Take cake out of oven after 25 mins and carefully spread topping.

Turn oven up to 180 and return cake for extra 20 mins.

Note, I found doing the topping and allowing it to cool a bit made it easier to handle.

First time I made this, topping was very hot and bubbling and sank into cake.
