Another baking experiment

[wiseheart]

I've tried my hand on Hefeteig-Quarktaschen yesterday. I'm sorry, but I have no idea what Quark is called in English. It is a diary product, some call it fresh cheese, but it isn't, not really. Cheese is fermented, Quark is not.

Anyway, it's a sweet filling, with sugar, raisins, lemon zest, an egg and some vanilla extract, similar to the cheesecake filling, just more solid. The things look like this:

I won't declare it a 100 per cent success, but my colleagues, who served as testers, said that they'd volunteer as guinea pigs any time I try out a new recipe-

I started working again, and the joy of my group to see me again was really touching. I love these kids. We've started crafting for Easter - well, the theoretical part of it. We're going to make felt eggs (only those who want, of course), decorated with felt applications, buttons, beads and whatnot. I'm really looking forward to it.

There's no English word for Quark, if you want to buy it here (and it's easier to find in high end groceries than it used to be, but still fairly uncommon), you ask for Quark. Most Americans have never heard of it. My mother used to make Hefeteig, sheet pan Quark cake, all of us loved it. Your Quarktaschen look excellent.

I'm glad you're feeling well enough to go back to work, and it sounds like you had quite a welcome :)

Thanks for the vocabulary info. I've learned something again. ;)

Yes, it was quite a welcome, with a loud ovation from the kids and all. In moments like this I understand again why I chose the job in the first place.

That does sound delicious!

Good to hear you had a warm welcome back to work. Now hopefully your health will play along, too!

Your words to God's ear! I've been sick enough for one school year.
