Happy Easter!
Apr. 17th, 2022 06:19 pmCome, folks, and have a virtual piece of Spiegeleikuchen:
It is a relatively simple traybake, with a sponge base, a topping made of quark and vanilla custard, and apricot halves to resemble fried eggs, hence the name. I'm happy to report that it turned out delicious, and that my Easter ham (the one with the cumin and garlic, recipe posted a couple of entries previously) was very satisfactory as well. Consequently, we didn't even cook today, save for the apple compote Mum made, and were generally lazy.
My eldest (male) cousin called in the morning; he calls a few times a year, usually around birthdays and main holidays. Since he's almost 80, Mum and he can discuss Grandma and her siblings together, as he's the one who has the most memories of them, from all of us cousins. That's always nice for Mum.
I've crafted a little bit - another page base for The Thing of Beauty is done, only two more to go - wrote a tiny bit (very little; I so wish I could finish this dratted story!), solved some crossword puzzles - and that was basically it. Lazy days are good!
