I
feel separated. Friends and loved ones who are either seeking or
giving comfort at one of several vigils this evening held for the
brothers & sisters of Pulse Orlando.
Everyone
is talking about Orlando tonight. So I got to share my plan with our
card playing group. It is very simple: For 30 minutes focus on things
that bring you joy.
Terrorists
are bullies trying to change us with fear. Yet we can defeat their
purpose by remaining ourselves. We need to focus on joy anyway or
risk losing the ability to feel joy. Believe me, I have seen too many
here that have lost their ability to feel joy.
Everyone
had been upset, some, like me had been crying. I went around the
table asking each what brought joy.
After
the third time around, we were laughing and enjoying being together.
I
suggest we try this for a week, it can't hurt.
Here
is a quick throw together treat for coffee meetings with friends.
Watch
the time, they cook fast and can dry out quickly.
4
ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
¼ cup sugar
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
2 tablespoons cottage cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 beaten egg white
¼ cup sugar
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
2 tablespoons cottage cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 beaten egg white
sprinkles
colored sugar.
Line
a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pre heat the oven to 375
degrees.
Place
the cream cheese and sugar in a bowl and with an electric mixer cream
them together on low speed until smooth. With the mixer still on low,
add the egg yolk, cottage cheese, vanilla, and salt. Mix until just
combined. Don't whip!
Leave
the crescent dough rolled up and slice it into about ¼" thick
slices... flattened down the center of each dough circle.
Brush
with beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar.
Fill
the depressions with a spoonful of filling.
Bake
for 15 minutes.
Watch
them closely, and let them get golden brown for more of a bakery
effect. I used about ½ tsp. of filling (before baking!) was more
than enough, and they will settle (shrink) a little when cool.
How
about some upbeat music to start us off?
Plan
to have a joyful time each day.
