Fika: Almond Rusks
Monday and Tuesday we had a nice break from the hot weather we’ve had recently so, yesterday I decided to bake Almond Rusks. It is a traditional Swedish recipe from the 125th anniversary cookbook of the church I grew up in. The result is very similar to a biscotti and the process is similar as well since they require a double baking.
Unlike some of the more recent baking adventures this went quite smoothly for me. Thank goodness!
It is very nearly official now, I am starting a podcast on all things Swedish. I got trained on the 8-track recorder last night and will sit down to start recording the episode this afternoon after I return from my no-class water aerobics (yep, the classes are on break this week, but the pool is open so I’m going to be good and go do the exercises myself). I suspect there will be some kinks to work out in the posting of the podcast files themselves and there is the time it will take for iTunes to pick me up, but the site is all together and ready at http://www.fikacast.com if you’d like to take a sneak peek.
I am afraid that all my messing around with getting that site going has messed with my wrist so I’m trying to spread out and limit my typing and it means no knitting too :-( I just hardly know what to do with myself when I shouldn’t type or knit or spin…
