Changing tradition...sort of

Today is 6 January, and for those who follow, it is Epiphany--the day the three wisemen from the East visited the Baby in a manger.

As with other religious observances, there are specific foods that are served. In this case, spicy foods and cakes are made and eaten; the spices represent gifts from the East. Some people also bake a cake, decorating it with yellow icing and adorning it with candied fruit making it reminiscent of a bejewelled golden crown.

Last night I was cruising around some of my favourite foodish blogs and found these on The Candied Quince. Aren't they absolutely beautiful? I think Tania did a great job with them. If you are thinking of marking today-and don't feel like baking a cake or a curry--think about making (and eating!) some of these gems.

Thanks for stopping by.

I love visitor reactions but not anonymous notes, comments which went one round too many on the spin cycle, part of an inflammatory campaign, or those best left for the compost heap. And yes, comments left by "content marketers" are spam, in my eyes and will be dealt with accordingly.

The recipes I post have worked for me, but if you've had problems, I'll do my best to help. Attacks based on results because you've not followed what I've posted (changed ingredients, cooking methods and/or quantities) won't be posted.

In other words: be kind or constructive, not libellous or smarmy.
