INCREDIBLE WINDY ON THE BEACH

but now and then a break in the clouds! The sand stormed over the surface and persons looked as if they did langlauf (cross country skiing) when they walked against it.
The apple cake that Mischa had made yesterday was indeed delicious and only some crumbs are left now.
I myself am not a baker and would hesitate to bake at all. Has it to do with putting all the ingredients together and handle it in a form? Kneading some kind of dough with my bare hands? Having a big fear that after all that work the result disgusts me? An oven being an unpredictable appliance?
Luckily it happens not to be a hereditary thing.
I remember making with my brother when I was young a butter biscuit, probably the simplest recipe to make and thinking then already that this was the first and last time. The occasion was a Mother's Day gift. Yes, it was!

My haiku:

In my little room
Now it's ready I really
Feel it suits me well

And the proverb:

Als ik kom, is er altijd gebakken, of men zal er bakken.

Translation: When I come, there has been baked, or there will be baked.

Meaning: This is said when everything goes wrong, and when one comes always too early or too late.
