It’s official. I’m a
terrible blogger.
Since the sudden loss of my dad I’ve felt adrift. Just forcing myself through each day seems to
take all of my (limited) energy and (reduced) brain power. But let’s face it, just existing is no way to
go through life.
If you’ll bear with me, I’m making an effort to rejoin the
world. I used to love playing in the
kitchen. I used to love doing lots of
other creative things. The plan is to
keep forcing myself to do those things until one day it’s no longer such an
effort.
I’m very late in posting this, but here’s the January Daring
Bakers’ Challenge, a spiced Dutch pastry filled with almond paste, gevulde speculaas. They seemed to be a hit at work – and they
make your kitchen smell fantastic while they’re baking. Check out the recipe here.
