Dear all,

sorry for the silence in the air! I am ok, all doing fine, the usual stuff.

Have been extremely busy and surviving at the same time. Work needs to be done, prepping for cafe and surviving the heat that goes on and off switching between heavy rains and crazy heat within few hours. Not quite complaining about the weather as it is the best balance for all sorts of crops and produce. But physically it is pretty hard to endure for nordic people. Plus it’s annoying to put on rainy day clothes and then end up sweating like pig. But bare with me – I have invented the best solution for it. ALWAYS keep bikini in your  bag or in the car or somewhere with you at all times. I discovered this few years back when I went to beach in the other end of our country and when I was packing the weather forecast promised snow and weird subzero temperatures at night. So I had my winterjacket with me AND bikinis. Turned out perfect combo! Within one day I had to change 4 times from bikini to wintergear because the weather was changing so fast.

So now baking macroons, pies, prepping doughs, and yes, it’s double the heat :). I wish I would have all success with them macroons, but no. Can you imagine, the success of baking macroons depends higly on weather! If it’s rainy you are pretty much going to ruin the macroons. Unless you have two ovens like I do. It’s still a drag because it takes longer than with sunny day. I will explain you later or when you come to take baking courses with me 🙂

While baking I usually put some comedy on now. I used to put heavy metal or rock on but if your windows are open (due to heat) and you put on max decibels then your neighbours might object 2 o’clock at night listening to your music choices :). So comedy it is for now. And good one. From the Two and a half men one joke about our lovely neighbours’ neighbours:

– U should date some nice Polish girls, they are nuts in bed

– why…

– well, they are nuts in bed because sex is the only thing they did not have to stand in line for!

Short, to the point, and true.

Off now to do some more baking. It’s noontime and I am already exhausted even though I woke up at 10 :):)

Stay cool and hot!
