17 May I spent the whole day in the kitchen today baking a pie Just wanted something cozy and sweet no special reason I think baking is a kind of magic You mix simple things flour butter sugar and suddenly there s the smell of childhood warmth in your chest and everything feels a little bit lighter I m no culinary genius but when it turns out right I feel like a little kitchen witch who can create moods This pie had apples and cinnamon It wasn t perfect but it had character Too much filling slightly burnt edge and that s exactly what I love And yes I love licking the spoon after mixing the dough That s my little guilty pleasure
