My Stollen Christmas

Deck the halls. Steal some Christmas back.

I saw an update on facebook recently that said ‘Christmas is a time when I feel homesick even when at home.’  It was a Eureka moment for me. Till I realized that everyone felt like that.  If not for Christmas, then for Diwali. What is it about childhood that makes us spend it desperate to grow up?

Crostata and sugar in a plum. Plum Plum!

The 2010 November Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Simona of briciole. She chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ to make pasta frolla for a crostata. She used her own experience as a source, as well as information from Pellegrino Artusi’s Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well.
