We are gearing up for the Spring and that means things happen in fits and starts. "Can you bake 150 cake balls and 150 sugar cookies for St. Patrick's Day?" and then the next day I receive an email saying..."Sorry. We are going to buy them at the grocery store." In the meantime I've driven all over kingdom come looking for a large shamrock cookie cutter. No worries, but it does take up time.
Baked a yummy 4-layer white cake with raspberry filling over the weekend for Sara S's birthday which turned out beautifully and during a run on Saturday received an order for 25 small Easter packages so I'm deciding what ideas to put in front of that client. It needs to be something pretty that conjurs up Spring while having a decent shelf life. I'm thinking of making cake balls in the shape of Easter eggs, decorating them with pastels and packaging them in small boxes with pretty ribbon. Or they could be the mini bundts with edible Easter grass and mini jelly beans. That will be decided this week.
Regardless of what is baking, there is always something happening in our kitchen, which is the heart and the center of our home. Mr. Man reads the paper there every morning, he makes his espresso and I have my coffee; we have wine with friends and every person who comes over heads right for the kitchen.
For most of us, the kitchen is the heart. And isn't that how it should be?
We feed our bodies and we feed our souls...in the kitchen.
