BAKING | 'GEVULDE SPECULAAS'


Baking 'Gevulde Speculaas'



Baking 'Gevulde Speculaas'

I started this weekend by baking 'gevulde speculaas', a Dutch spiced cookie filled with almond paste. Baking cookies and cakes makes me feel very relaxed and clears my mind, just mixing all the ingredients whilst thinking of nothing.
The Gevulde Speculaas turned out to be delicious! The various spices like cinnamon, ginger and pepper make it very tasty. Have a nice weekend.

GREENHOUSE

The bulbs have sprouted.

Although there are still some cold days ahead, spring's slowly starting to begin. The flower bulbs that I planted last fall sprouted already. Hopefully they will get some nice flowers as well!

Yesterday I bought the SOCKER greenhouse from IKEA. I installed it on my windowsill the minute I got home. It has four occupants at the moment: Oregano, Basil, Parsley and Lovage. Enjoy your last hours of the weekend!
