Instead of complaining, I'll talk about baking.
1) baking asks your full love and attention and therefore takes your mind off everything else.
2) the smell of something baking in the oven makes you feel home.
3) baking attracts friends and good talks.
4) eating something someone else baked especially for YOU is one of the biggest pleasures in culinary terms...
5) ...just as it is a great source of joy for the baker to watch other people enjoy their piece of baked good.
6)baking shows your ability to work concentratedly and precisely and with lots of Hingabe on a project.
7) kneading shortpastry, rolling out a yeast dough or beating a batter with your hands is a great outlet for your fears and frustrations.
8) a piece of pastry in your mouth prevents you from needlessly complaining about your life.
9) eating something baked is the best thing to do to fill in your breaks from work and study. It provides you with new strength and energy and satisfies you.
10) having to bake something is a great excuse not to work or study for a while.
that said, here is what I baked yesterday: carrot cake. Darling J., was here for dinner, and while N. made some gorgeous lasagna, I searched all my cupboards for baking material (note to self: always have a decent stash at home in the future). I wanted something with a fresh ingredient, fruit or so. Carrot was the next best thing- carrot cake it is.
The little carrot is a real carrot I carved into the right size. together with some fresh thyme, I find it looks much better than the normally used marzipan carrots.
The day before, we had you, M. and T. over for a small dinner party, the topic was white food ;) we had asparagus risotto and cheesecake. mmmh. A cake a day....
I really enjoyed you all being here, quality time :)
love, m
