Good afternoon everyone,
Today is bright and cold in the Netherlands.
*
This morning was for statement baking. I prepared a fresh banana cake with walnuts, spices and coconut. In a cake pan from Nordic Ware, Situated on an ACTION cake stand.
It's topped with icing sugar, and perfect for December. I got eggs and spices donated from people. It's perfect for the Holidays, but I already prepared mine. It's the Christmas month already. I thought I would share it tomorrow, but tomorrow is an ordinairy Monday. This is definetely more something for the weekend. It's a perfect Christmas cake.
Sometime I dream off a world where perfect cooking with fresh ingredients is remarked as 'Poor man's pride.' Instead off it being so expensive. 'Poor man's honour.' When you cook perfect fresh dishes. But maybe that's thought a bit too 'Zaans.' Zaanstad people love to prepare their dishes as fresh as possible. But most off us are poor. Maybe somewhere else, they'd rather swear by processed cans and packages as 'poor man's food.' But that's not to my liking, and I think most people here agree. So maybe 'Poor man's honour.' does fit. Rice dishes and vegetable dishes prepared as perfect and fresh as this cake. I wish I wasn't the only one to see it that way, and I wish it would not sound too offensive. I hope Ed the dragon slayer won't get angry if he would read my texts. It should be for all kinds off people to prepare foods with fresh vegetables as finger licking as possible, but for the poor, it's a form off honour. With all sorts off spices and herbs, with all fruits and veggies known in the world. And all the ingredients they can come up with. I would not say it's easy. Not every brick can cook it like this. That's why it's a form off old fashioned pride. But most off it is too pricey nowadays. We can't afford. But it's a standard I would love to live up to.
Allright, that's about it for now-
Thank you for reading.
