On the longest night of what has felt to many like the longest year in a while, a reminder from Tolkien: "There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."

Another picture of our cake. It was hard to make and not conventionally beautiful and we love it. We ate it before we ate dinner! Joy is not pretending all is great or fake smiles, joy is the real feeling of contentment- the one you appreciate precisely because the times before it were hard. Can I get an amen?
May we present: our Swedish Flop! (That's actually the name!) Anyone ever had a real one? They're supposed to be from the Chicago area. Did it take all day to make? Yes Is it, as the British Baking Show would say, "a bit informal"? Absolutely (read messy) Was it delicious? Totally In the spirit of the 3rd week of advent: Joy, it was just what we needed!
