"There’s a great expression in French: “mettre la main à la pâte” - literally “to put one’s hand in the dough.” It means showing up, actively participating, doing the work, getting your hands dirty to get the job done. And I find it à propos not only to baking but also to our fight against this government: If we want change, we all have to mettre la main à la pâte. Despite setbacks, we have to roll up our sleeves and do the work together until we succeed. Like baking, it will take patience and persistence. Pastry, unlike cooking, cannot be corrected and saved at the end. Say the same about losing our country."
Oh, but I did have to laugh at your 1st attempt with mistakes. Then I thought of some of mine. Especially a chess pie recipe when some flour obscured a measurement. But you then exonerated yourself and showed such a pretty coffee cake. Thank you for sharing.

Parables are great teachers!
I absolutely love cinnamon! That looks, smells, and tastes delicious!
I'm a lazy baker... but I can be inspired, particularly by the scent of democracy. Wasn't this a wonderful recipe essay?
Thank you thank you 🙏
