Baking day

Baking is one of those things that relaxes me and clears my mind from other stuff. So today I started making short bread. This is a big strawberry jam tart I made. As I had some leftover shortbread, I also baked six smaller lemon marmalade tarts (which were gone by lunchtime). (Sometimes I wonder whether I’m living with two bears, as cakes and biscuits have a very short life here!). Lastly, I made a tray of merengues. The funny thing about merengue is that NSLLDC refused to taste them at first because, so he said, he can’t stand the texture. I’m sure he had misunderstood merengues for something else, because when he tasted them in the end, his face was showing utter pleasure! ;-)
