Well, I’ve had this urge to bake something for a while now and we even just decided with Sooz that we’re gonna bake lots of stuff when she’s over during Christmas. So when Stu woke up on Saturday and declared that he felt like baking, it wasn’t too hard to win me over. So we baked. And baked. And since both of us seem to be a sandwich short of a picnic, we baked way too much. We made feta cheese & olive bread rolls, blueberry muffins and shitloads of banana cake (I think that recipe must have been for 50 or something). It was all very nice (even though the muffins were a bit flat and I left out an ingredient from the cake), but there is a limit to how much banana cake a person can consume before feeling repulsed by the sheer sight of it…

Today we looked at the piles of cakes and decided that something needed to be done to get rid of it all… So we set of to spread the joy and took some cake and muffins over to Johanna’s and later to mum’s. Oh my, Aleksi had grown so much since we last saw him at day old! He is such a smiley and chatty little man. Very much the same as Olli was a couple of years ago. – insert regulatory ‘how time flies’ sigh here. –

So yeah… a baking-filled weekend. Still, it was nice – therapeutic even – while it lasted. Oh and did I mention how much it snowed again today! It was like a winter wonderland in Järvenpää, but Espoo was a bit more on the wet and slushy side.
