The treadwheel is turning again

Meaning that choir life has restarted with a vengeance. We had our first choir practice with the Oldies today, followed by numerous belated birthday celebrations with handmade cookies from at least four sources. Also, we had champagne, as one of the... errr... mature gentlemen is called John, and as we all know December 27 is St. John's day.

What wasn't on the menu was my seriously dumbed-down Russiam Creme cake. Firstly because it would have been too small for 30+ people, and secondly because I tend to forget about my Namenstag, seeing as it falls to Christmas Eve. But I wouldn't keep you guys from taking a look. Here it is:



For a half-sized cake lacking half the originally required ingredients it is actually very yummy. I'll give the proper version a try one day, though.

It is yummy, even this version of it. Of course, had I checked the internet first, instead of just the instructions on the package, I'd have put all necessary ingredients into it, like raisins and candied fruit and rum...

Oh, yes, especially the rum. :DDD
