Apple&walnuts pie

Romanian traditional Easter cheesecake with a twist- or ‘pască’ without dough and with a poppyseed filling

A cheddar, jalapenos&dried tomatoes sourdough loaf

Some triple choc chips cookies that went on a hike

I call this post ’the last baked goods before the fall of democracy’ 🫠

2 months late but it is what it is

The Xmas&NYE candy bar:

coconut ‘truffles’ shaped like snowmen

brownie pine cones

Christmas shaped butter cookies

Linzer cookies with a personal twist- no almond essence or flour in the dough& filled with romanian plum jam (‘magiun’)

3 beautiful amazing cozonaci- with chocolate& hazelnuts, as per this account’s name, with walnuts ‘cause I sometimes like to be a traditional girly and bcs somebody requested it, a Dubai-themed cozonac (with pistachio cream& cataif filling)

mini-tarts filled with a soft vanilla cream and an insertion of homemade orange jam, topped with a piece of candied orange

And my absolute favourite:

These lil’ boxes that I gifted and that I think are so freakin’ cute 🥹

After the horrible past 3 weeks in which I felt we’re succombing back to communism, I decided to focus on Christmas in order to preserve what little sanity I have left…

So these are the little Secret Santa gifts that I made. I think the gingerbread was the best I’ve ever made and I’m obsessed with the packaging, I think it’s very cute and overall I’m super proud with how these turned out (and I received some very positive reactions which made my heart so full it could burst)

Honestly, with all the tradwife cooking trash circulating, it only makes me love B Dylan Hollis more for baking vintage recipes while being openly gay, making sexual jokes, and screaming at the ingredients. He's the antithesis of every soft-spoken cishet woman cooking for her husband and children. You don't have to be an idyllic cottagecore housewife to cook.

terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.

My wish goes out to everyone who isn't even hoping for a particularly happy new year—just a quiet one, a peaceful and even boring one, where nothing terrible happens:

This year, may we all be surprised by joy.

You want me to use anti-ageing products? The thing that killed Dorian Gray?

Sorry for being a bitch earlier, I needed to lay in the dark with my headphones for 3 hours to feel better

Hey btw I don't know who needs to hear this, but those adults telling you that your teen years are the best years of your life? Yeah I don't know what the hell they're smoking, either. I'm 29 and every once in a while I just sit here and think "man, it sure sucked to be 14. Glad I never have to do that again."

i have no idea what’s happening w my life at this point. i just make cute playlists and admire sunlight on chilly fall mornings

how can any language be ‘ugly’ if it’s always also the language passed along from a mother to her child, the language of two lovers in the dark, the language of stories told by grandfathers, the language of vows and eulogies, the language of learning and singing and feeling and connection and culture… how is all of that not inherently beautiful

Cami: So how's life with a baby?

Hayley: Exhausting. I didn't know that it was possible for someone to cry this much.

Cami: Oh, l'm sure she'll grow out of it soon

Hayley: Oh no, no, no, no. The baby's an angel, she's no trouble at all.

Cami: But you just said–?

Klaus, holding Hope and crying: Hayley, I love her so much!
