Baking season finished

[wiseheart]

With Todán fánk, one of Granny's traditional classics (a yeast dough with walnut filling, in the form of rosettes), baking season has officially ended yesterday, around midnight. You can look up the pinned entry for December 24 for the details.

I gave up on the remaining two ideas and decided that 30 different sorts of cookies will be enough. I'll post a picture of the huge tray around Christmas, so that you can see the results.

I also got the Big Christmas Flat Cleaning Horror (TM) behind me, less than an hour ago. Now I can finally enjoy Christmas break.

Mum and I went back to the Christmas market yesterday. It has spread into the side streets from the central square in the meantime, and it's still as amazing as it was two weeks ago - or even more so. We drank some mulled wine and bought a small piece of traditional Hungarian ceramic (a little jug) for Mum. She already had her eyes on the thing last time, but - overly modest as she is - didn't want to spend money on it. Has been mourning the decision ever since, so we went back and righted it. *g*

Hey, it's great to hear you had fun and that your Mom finally got to buy herself that jug. She needs to treat herself every now and then, too!

I had to go eat several not very good ginger cookies after reading this post. I pronounce you the Goddess of Baking!!

My thoughts exactly. She's way too modest for her own good!

Why, thank you! Here, have some more, as the sign of my benevolent feelings towards you. *g*

(Sorry for the repeated edits, the insert photo function doesn't seem to work. Drat.)

Thanks! Yeah this latest update to LJ has a lot of folks pretty upset. I don't like the way long threads open now, but I do like that I can insert a photo or video directly into a comment.

Well, as you see I haven't exactly succeeded with the inserting of a photo - but what I really don't like is the choosing of userpic - earlier, the names of the userpics were listed alphabetically, now I have to comb through the pics themselves, and they're displayed in no particular order, so it takes five times longer than before. *is pissed*

Agreed!

BTW: congratulations on completing the BCFCH(tm). You are a better woman than I: I still haven't done ours, and the New Year will arrive in less than two hours...
