She writes about it here: (http://dietdessertndogs.wordp ress.com/2008/07/20/mrs-ks -date-cake/), and says "this is the kind of cake you like to have on hand as an after-school snack, or when you’re feeling peckish mid-morning. Baked in a square pan, it will keep, covered on the counter, for up to 4 days, longer if refrigerated. It makes 9 large pieces, and freezes well." http://www.grouprecipes.com/64384/rickis-date-cake.html Deliciously nutty toasted orzo is cooked to perfection with zucchini, carrots and red pepper in a diluted tomato broth before being swirled through with fresh basil and oregano.
