A day just for me?

Well... not really, no. Being a full-time caregiver doesn't really come with days out. But it was an easier day than most, and all the things I did were done voluntarily.

One of those things was an Apfelstrudel. It wasn't necessary to make one as we had leftovers from yesterday, but I subscribe to the opinion that every decent house simply has to have baked goods available, preferably on all days. Well, we don't have them every day, but after three days without I start getting restless and won't calm down until I've baked something. And ready-made puff pastry makes things soooo easy, which is why I try to have a package of it in the fridge at all times.

Of course, self-respecting Hungarian housewives would tell you that any kind of Strudel absolutely has to be made with filo pastry. Preferably the home-made kind. My self-respect doesn't go down the suicidal route, though. Why trying to make such things from the scratch when the ones bought in the supermarket are much better and always go up beautifully? Besides, I hate things made with filo paste. They always swim in fat. For me, puff pastry is the way to go.

The other voluntary thing was of crafty nature: I cut out the main panels for two more felt bunnies. I might or might not make more in the six weeks remaining to Easter, but two should be doable. Teddy bears and elephants will be postponed, but I'll try to fill the rabbit hole with, well, rabbits. Bright red ones at that because the fabric I need to use up is of that colour. Believe me or not, red bunnies actually look very cute!
