At Judean Rose you get a little bit of this and a little bit of that: food, politics, cognitive science, genealogy, religion, education, and family are all grist for my (writing) mill.

Marzipan Dates
Maybe I've been going about this blog thing the wrong way. Until now, I've been madly racing through my web content assignments in hopes that I could finish early, take a day or so to recover my creative juices and then blog away.
But maybe I've got the wrong idea. Maybe not every blog has to be a big deal production with clip art. Maybe not every entry has to be jam-packed with meaning. Maybe some day I'll be so famous that even my grocery lists will sell for thousands of dollars on e-bay. Maybe horses have wings...
So, okay. I'm going to try to blog even just a short entry, whenever I can.
With the holidays fast approaching, I do a bit of the cooking each day, whatever can be done in advance. Today I stuffed dates with marzipan. I scented the marzipan with rose water and tinted the almond paste three pretty colors. After stuffing the dates and arranging them on the plate, I had space on the plate and leftover marzipan, so I made some rose blossoms out of the paste to fill out the plate. Roses are about the only thing I can mold. An artist/sculptress, I'm not. But roses make sense, considering my name means Rose. Which you already know if you follow my blog which is named, Ahem, Judean Rose.
