52 Card Project 2021: Week 50: Baking
Two events this week: the women in our family had our annual cookie baking gathering this past Saturday. This week also featured St. Lucia Day. Fiona has often baked lussekatter for me, although this week she didn't quite have the spoons for that, and so I picked up some lussekatter at Fika Cafe at the American Swedish Institute for all of us, delivering some to Fiona's household and some to Eric. So we all could enjoy lussekatter on December 13.
Common theme: baking, by women, to drive away the darkness (note the candle is right over my mom). The turning over of generations, the importance of coming together at the holidays to make truly delicious food. As long as there are cookies and lussekatter, there is hope for the future.
We missed cookie baking last year due to the pandemic. It gives us such joy, and I realize how important it to us. There, along the top of the card are three generations: me, my Mom, and Fiona. My St. Lucia Day candle, lussekatter and coffee are in the center, and the bakers are at the bottom. The semi-transparent background (bakeground?) is, of course, cookies.
