Today was a good day though not a lot of baking happened. I made breads and cookies and croissants in the morning. Sandy made really nice raspberry muffins.
Later on in the day I did some non baking things, got shelves for the bakery, made business cards, made the paper menu and printed a sample for Sandy to see. After hanging the shelves we were open again so I started a little baking. I made the masa for cocas de patatas and i made some not son tasty carrot cake muffins. Tomorrow I will put an icing on them to see if they are ok to sell.
...
i have to be in the bakery a bit early tomorrow to make some speciality breads which were ordered by a customer, one gluten free and one spelt. So I will make some normal breads since I am there working. Then I will rest and then really focus for Thursday. Sandy has been working really hard and helping a lot!
...
And finally, a short note about stress. It is the same story about money. Weeks ago I decided to not have this as a discussion topic because I don’t want pity or charity. I also don’t want to take advantage of the connections I have for my own problems. I say this as I reflect on the financial situation and it’s very tight. We had to spend about 500€ yesterday and I got my property tax bill which is almost 600€. In every day normal life this should not be a concern, but that drops what is left in my account very close to zero. As I look over the horizon I worry about January and February quite a lot. Some days I block it from my mind and other days it is staring right back at me every moment of the day.
I leave you with a photo of the cinnamon raisin bread I made today as a last minute idea to use up the masa.
Thank yiu you so much for taking the time to read today’s entry!!
