In due course I will turn 40. The church was the first who dared to congratulate me. I call this memento mori. Whatever, I'm not used to celebrate birthdays but I'm used to indulge myself for the occasion.
I can't remember my tenth birthday. For my twentieth, I made a spring-break trip to Florida. For my thirtieth, I bought myself a IWC Mark XII. And I also found myself something for my fortieth - a huge dough bowl to satisfy my baking urges:
It really big, i.e. 37 cm/14.6 in wide and 17 cm/6.7 in deep. You can knead a dough with both hands in it.
I could not wait until my birthday to use it. The first things I made with it were a Swiss and a Russian plaited loaf.

yummy! Now that looks incredible. I'm not a baker but 2 blocks away from work they sell swiss breads. Maybe I'll finally buy one soon!
I am real glad that can help you with all your other urges...:)
when will it happen then ? You joining the Big 4-Oh club:)?
by the way the Russenzopf looks delish,I'd gladly devour a piece of it!!
Nice! What's in the Russian plaited loaf? Vodka?
You had a productive weekend (unlike some of us)
Ms.Mac: I have no idea why. There is no booze in it at all. But on the same day, we had these entrecôtes with a pepper calvados sauce. So we got our share.
