I know this will forever ruin my carefully manicured cool image <*shut it, Spork*>, but I
love getting packages in the mail. If I get one that I know is coming, life is good. If I get an unexpected package, life becomes almost unbearably great. So imagine my utter joy when I went to the post office to pick up a package that I knew was coming (because I ordered it) and got a bonus package to boot! I ripped into that bad boy so hard that the padding from the enviro-friendly envelope flew out and stuck all over my dark blue shirt. It was worth it, though, because the package contained a new cookbook!
The book was
Swedish Cakes and Cookies by Melody Favish, sent to me by Swedish friend, Christina.
I've bugged Christina for Swedish recipes from time to time, so she's well aware of my cookbook habit (
addiction just seems like such a harsh word).
The book is filled with pictures and recipes for all sorts of delightful cookies, little pastries, cakes and sweet breads. I've already picked my first experiment, a braided sweet bread made with cottage cheese and orange zest, drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze. Yum!

I feel a great weight upon me. Oh, nevermind, that's just my belly flopping over the waist of my pants.
Reading the last paragraph caused a five pound increase in mass here.
That reminds me, Spork. When did you want to try out the new/old mini Bundt pan?
And John, just to clarify - there's a picture for every recipe! You hardly ever get that in a cookbook. I just found the picture of deep fried cookie twists. Why did I never think of frying cookie dough? Doh!
