Ever since a Canadian friend got my kids hooked on Ice Java, it’s been a coveted item we can’t get our hands on unless someone is coming from Canada — or unless Mommy makes it from scratch.
I’ve heard once or twice that seeing other people’s round challah pictures in July is kind of stressful to some. So we waited until the end of August before we dipped our toe into these chaotic waters, and now here we are savoring summer and baking big, beautiful, round challos all at the same time.
I’ve thought about conflicting feelings a bit, and it’s interesting. We’ve all had many moments of feeling happy and sad, excited and anxious, or two other seemingly opposite feelings at the same time. “Relaxed,” on the other hand, doesn’t cooperate with many other opposing feelings. Yet it can still operate in a fast-paced situation like filling a freezer or spending an extra minute pulling off a last-licks-of-summer barbecue.
This week, you can choose your own relaxation in the form of a fresh take on a strawberry slushy or a new way to twist a round challah. Or you can mix them together for your own refreshing take on relaxation!
