What is the fall? Living on the Aegean coast, with time to forget what is autumn, what colors, what emotions it brings... forget what it's like to sit in the family circle in a cloudy rainy autumn day, drink tea with a piece of mom's pie and to warm up near the fireplace. Yes, nostalgia... I look at my Desk calendar... on the calendar fall, September... turn your head and look out the window... and the weather autumn to name language does not turn. Outside the window +36; far away is the shore of the Aegean sea, a couple of local kids frolicking with his mother, a light breeze rustles the branches of palm trees... "where's autumn?" - I ask myself!!!! "And autumn, and there will be no more"... I can hear my echo in return... it is sad... But before I didn't like the fall, remember! Did not like the rain and cold, not fond of the grey, cloudy sky, did not like the idea that there's a little, quite a bit, and come winter, it was even colder... And in the minds woke up to dreams about warmth, of the sun, on the azure beach and eternal summer. Mom always told me: "Marina, you daydream too much. Dreaming, of course, is not bad, but see, daughter, dreams always come true". And mom was right. Dreams of warm sunshine and eternal summer came true. "You're still going to miss our winter, autumn leaf fall", my mother told me. I twisted in response, his head, and in the minds of already the sun was shining, stood the image of the Paradise coast, sand and a light breeze... "Um, no, I'm not going to miss either autumn or on the fallen leaves, I do not like the cold, nor mediocrity"... But for some reason now, when it's warm and the sun is shining, and the sea water beckons you with its waves, it becomes sad... sad that autumn is coming... Summer will succeed spring, and after spring will come unnoticed again hot summer... But I don't like autumn! Or not loved? Yeah, I didn't like, but now love. After the fall is not only sad and bad, cold and lonely, overcast and rainy... Autumn is full of bright, interesting and rich colors... Autumn is barefoot through the puddles, the fountain of multi-colored leaves, friends and smiles... the Last days of September, almost October, warm; whereas in consciousness, replacing one another, appear paintings of autumn, all the colors of this Golden age... Cold... probably from "autumn" thoughts... And I hasten to the kitchen, brewed herbal tea, and to once more feel the warmth, to get rid of cold coming from inside (but in my heart the autumn, or rather, dreams about it), put in the tea a pinch of cinnamon and a little ginger and open a jar of honey forgotten; they warm the body... in the morning thinking about the autumn became brighter, more colorful... again go to the kitchen in search of autumn... What to eat this autumn, I think. Of course, the grapes!!! Even in Turkey, many fruits can be tasted only in September-October. Remember the tea that warmed me early in the morning... of Course, cinnamon, ginger, honey, grapes... In your mind draw a delicious autumn pie, which is so appetizing dripping grape sauce... Here it is, autumn... Start work until the autumn of thoughts have left me...

In a deep bowl put 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks,

the brown sugar and beat with a mixer until then, until the mixture will change color and will not increase in volume.

Put the zest of two lemons, cinnamon and ginger, baking powder, beat again.

In a pot heat the milk until warm. In a pan melt the butter. Mix milk and butter and allow to cool a little.

At this time add to the dough flour - 1 Cup. The flour is grey, heterogeneous, that's the beauty of "autumn" flavor of the pie. If you have no such flour, mix equal amount of white flour and rye.

Now add gradually the milk mixture and oil and whisk. Again add a Cup of flour, beat with a mixer until smooth and look at the consistency test. If you think that it is necessary to add flour, add. The main thing is not to pour to the cake has not lost its tenderness... Form smazyvaem oil, pour the batter into the pan and put in the oven on 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

The finished cake to be derived from the forms and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Sauce. In a small saucepan, mix the sugar and grapes (grapes mash together with sugar to the fruit let the juice). Heated on the fire minutes 2-2.5 In a separate bowl mix the starch with 1 tbsp of boiling water and put to the grapes. With constant stirring, boil the sauce until slightly thick. Remove from the heat. Served with a delicious, spicy, tender slice of pie. It is important not to put much sugar in the sauce which would have preserved some acidity, which perfectly complement the sweet and spicy taste of the pie.

Here it is, autumn evening. Light the fireplace and brew the tea; a here it is, autumn cake with a cinnamon-ginger flavor, this autumn, this warming...

...and here is the grape sauce...
