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.
