Inteview on a Woman’s Wisdom Blog

I  was recently interviewed on the blog , A Woman’s Wisdom.

Here is an excerpt from the interview. Be sure to click the link below to read the complete interview.  Also check out her book reviews!

 

Whom do you admire and why? 

This is a tough question for me. I never really thought I admired anyone. I love my family deeply and miss those who have passed on. There is a college professor who supported me and gave me courage, but I don’t think I realized at the time how much that meant to me. Only once have I ever put anyone on a pedestal and that was disastrous in so many ways. As I’ve gotten older though, I am beginning to understand what Is truly admirable in people. Those who have overcome tremendous odds, such as Alex Krutov, and those who have bravely blazed a trail for humanity, such as Gus Grissom and all of the early astronauts, and those who stand up for the truth despite the consequences, such as the Christians in Iraq and similarly hostile countries.

Sweet Treats and Sweet Deals

Does anyone else crave sweets when they aren’t feeling well? The thought of regular food may turn my stomach, but a warm brownie makes me feel the tiniest bit better. The past few weeks I have barely had the energy to go to work, but every night I come home with this intense desire to bake. All of the fabulous recipes in the past two issues of Tea Time haven’t helped any either. Last week, I finally broke down and made some Orange Macarons with Chocolate Buttercream filling.

I had no idea how long these little cookies take to make! Three hours to allow the egg whites to sit at room temperature, 10 minutes or so to mix up the batter, 45 minutes to an hour to allow the batter to set, then about 25 minutes in the oven. The buttercream took another 10 minutes to mix up and about the same to fill the cookies. I was pretty happy with this first attempt though. Now that the weather is starting to cool off, I can see a lot more baking in my future.
