I think I am going to make a list of things I suddenly have the urge for and which I really miss. So far it’s been all about Swiss recipes (yes, I am American only by marriage). Last night it came out of the blue and now again, another sweet treat from there. Today’s craving I can understand, after exchanging email with my cousin Cornelia – who had just finished painstakingly copying a 120 years old handwritten cookbook from our great-grand-mom into a usable, 65 pages long PDF booklet with incredible Swiss cooking and baking treasures.

During our exchange I suddenly felt really, really, very, very homesick. It’s not been too bad the past few months but it always comes back. I haven’t been home in much to long of a time. When it washes over me it’s strong and it always feels like a dead end as there is no solution to remedy it except accepting the fact that I’m no longer there and that people I love dearly and who have played such major roles in my life are getting older and pass away.

Alright, so here are the first 2 items for that

to be (in moderation) baked and cooked in the future:

  • CHEESE
    • Raclette
    • Fondue
  • BAKING
    • Nussgipfel
  • TREATS
    • Coup Vermisell

I am sure this list will fill up over the corse of this program :-)
