Musings and Baked Goods

More thoughts to come, but for now my processing will take the form of new baked creations, many done in the wee hours of the morning when my medication kept me awake.


These are my Three Kings Cookies, inspired by the dudes who brought the new Lord of Lords Frankincense, incense and myrhh when maybe cookies would have been more appreciated and appropriate. These ones have persimmons, dates, and spices in them. Plus, they're dipped in lemon glaze.

A few weeks ago I made an insane cake for a equally silly and delightful new friend of mine. Folks, a word of advice, if you're ever in an opera and you want to seal the deal for keeping the friends you've made post-curtain closing on the production, make them cake. And get them plastered  on Jameson gingers.


This cake is two yellow layers sliced in half and filled with black currant jam and bright pink buttercream frosting. Then I added glittery pink sprinkles and multi-colored gems on top, because why not?

Lastly, it's nice that even though I can't stand up that long without getting lightheaded and needing to lie down, I did have enough energy to make a beautiful breakfast today. Fresh garlic and kale from our winter farmshare turned this into a welcome mid-morning pre-nap treat.


Happy holidays, y'all. I look forward to posting ideas and creative things from my trip to Texas next week!
