Die Backstube ist eröffnet

Sorry, I don't know how to say that in English and inspire the same feeling. That's the difference between one's second language and third language, I guess.

Anyway, I've started the Easter baking today. Huge piles of Nutella bunnies and coconut lambs got baked, and I've made the dough for the chocolate chip and tahini cookies. That one needs to be refrigerated overnight, but if the baked cookies are anything like the raw dough they'll be delicious. (Yes, I like raw dough. Yes, I'm strange.)

Tomorrow the bunnies and lambs will be decorated with dark and white chocolate icing, respectively, and the lambs will get a coconut coating. The tahini cookies will be backed and boxed, after they have cooled. My friend Elise is coming on Monday (unless family life interferes - with an ailing father and five grandkids there are no guarantees), so she can take home her share right away.

We also had laundry day, and I baked up the apple and cinnamon rolls I had bought at Lidl on Thursday. And that was, basically, our day.
