My sister and I made Vínarterta today. Yes, I know. It’s a little late. We should have done it a couple of weeks ago! Because the cake really is better if it ages for a month. But better late than never, yes?
We had hours of fun. Most of the time was spent laughing and playing Scrabble and Perquacky (yes, I’m afraid I lost again – read about last year’s baking day.) But we did get the cake done in spite of the fooling around. And we realized that we have been spending a day together doing Christmas baking each year for 17 years! Seventeen!
Oh yes, and also remind me to post the rest of the pictures I took of making the cake. (I’d do it now but it’s time for dinner: buckwheat crepes filled with spinach and ham bechamel… jealous?)
I’ve also been distracted from posting in here because I’m in the process of putting together my annual
Advent calendar
I MUST be out of my mind!

Is it too early to remind you to post the rest of the pictures?
Not too early to remind me… thanks for the nudge. I’ll get on it and they will be posted soon.
