Advent, Advent...
Advent has come late this year and - according to Florian Silbereisen, who moderates "The Advent Feast of 100 000 Lights" on German TV - hasn't been this short for quite a few decades. But it has started today, and I've realized that I'm behind schedule. So I hurriedly hung up last year's Advent calendar in my room, putting tiny Milka chocolate bars into the backpack of the Christmas elves, who form a lovely little Christmas tree on my wall.
See for yourself:
And I baked a square pear cake today - granted, it isn't part of the Christmas baking, but we happened to have pears that were too hard for Mum to eat them raw, so I needed a method to make them enjoyable for her:
The pictures aren't very good, because the Pinterest app is acting up and refuses to let me upload photos directly from my iPad. So I have to mail them to myself first, resize them and do all possible tricks to make them visible, but it still isn't the same. Drat.

The Christmas elves advent calendar is so cute!
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with Pinterest. The pics are still lovely, though!

80 gr butter or margarine
60 gr sugar
2 eggs
20 ml milk
250 gr flour
1 pinch of salt
1 pckg baking powder
1 pckg lemon zest
600 gr pears, peeled and diced
1 tblsp of lemon juice
Pre-heat oven to 180°C and butter a square baking tin.
Peel and dice pears. Sprinkle them with the lemon juice.
Stir butter, sugar and eggs until they blend.
Add other ingredients at will; the pears should be the last, though.
Pour the whole thing in the tin and bake it 35-40 minutes.
Let it cool a few minutes before - how does one say in English stürzen?
It is ridiculously easy, and the preparation doesn't take long, either.
