We had a dinner with family at my parent's farm in Wisconsin. She ordered a Buche de Noel cake which came with candied cranberries on top.
It was delicious!
Decorations on a side table.
I also went to a German Christkindlmarket in Chicago.
One shaped like a tear drop hand painted in Austria with a wolf, some rabbits and birds. Another from Germany decorated with pearls.
I have been experimenting with homemade breads made with a sourdough starter. This particular loaf is a wheat and spelt flour loaf. I decided to bake both loaves at once and they turned into a twin loaf almost shaped like a peanut.
Baking them in a Dutch oven gives them that crusty outer layer.
Here is breakfast with butter and honeycomb. I also love strawberry jam with it. I have also been experimenting with different rye breads. Soon I hope to sprout some grains and make different sprouted breads.
