Look At My Molomakarouna

Bet you don't know what they are? Well they are the most delicious Greek Semolina Honey cakes and since it was a rainy day in T-Dot, I got this urge to be domestic.

I hope it doesn't last...


After much measuring, beating and shaping this is was the result. This was my first attempt at these cookies and I only tried them because Steve loves them. It is difficult to find really fresh ones here.


And after baking, ta da...here they are...

Actually, the truth is, I love baking. I hate cooking with a passion but baking, well I should have opened a bakery in my past life. It would have been a hoot.

The problem now is that with Mom not here only Steve eats my baking. I'm usually good for one piece of whatever and that's it, I don't touch it again. I really don't have a sweet tooth and my figure is thankful for that.

Next week it will be raspberry pies. I think there will be a bumper crop this year the bushes are just hanging full of berries. Should be fun...back to some knitting.

Baking Friday

The recipe for this treat can be found on Mausis' Blog. She lives in Germany and comes up with all these neat recipes for us to try. I swear she is turning into a good German hausfrau with all that baking.


Anyway, I couldn't resist the Butterkuchen, translated means butter cake and there are real pieces of butter on top before you bake it. Oh the cholesterol...what the heck. I also didn't have the correct size pan but it still baked up really nicely.

It was just out of the oven when my sweetie came home from work and he was ever so appreciative...me too actually, I gobbled down two pieces. Oh well, I need the energy for knitting.
