Fig galettes

It’s been a tough week – I know that hating our job is not a healthy or positive feeling, but that’s how I feel; my patience has been tested so many times in the past 5 days I feel like a hero. :)

What comforts me is that in a couple of hours I’ll be home, on my couch, with a cookbook on my lap, choosing something to bake tomorrow – I guess I’ll use this amazing book again.

Apricot jam friands

After reading that the lovely Taranii thought I was from Oceania because of the massive amounts of friands around here I might be ready to admit I’m addicted to these delicious and tender little cakes... :)

This recipe comes from DH mag #35 and is part of my “finishing up a jar of almond jam” project. :)

Apricot thumbprint cookies

I’ll be honest with you: I made these cookies to use up the apricot jam in my fridge; after making a tart, some small cakes and these cookies I still have some around – I wonder if someone splashed it with water or fed it after midnight... :)Apricot thumbprint cookiesadapted from here180g unsalted butter, softened1 cup + 1 ½ tablespoons (218g) sugar1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract1 egg2 cups + 2
