Rhubarb Cinnamon Cake

All right you guys, I need a break. I want a vacation. A real one. With lying on a beach, doing nothing – all day long. Only to indulge in great food and ruby red wine at the end of the day. And then starting the routine all over again the next day. Are you feelin me? I know you are. Unfortunately my vacation is still a week or so away. You might think: ok, stop whining, this is here in no time, really. What can I say, I never was good at waiting. Like ever. And it seems it is all I have been doing these past days. But the one thing that makes waiting easier, is building sandcastles in my mind. And planning what to eat on the trip. Like this great rhubarb cinnamon cake…oh, the fun we will have…

Rhubarb cake

 

I love weekends. I mean, obviously, everybody does. I especially love weekends when I found the time to do something that inspired me. A lot of the times, that is trying out a new recipe. Or watching an amazingfilm. Or listening to a new record. Or have great read. When I got to do something that inspired me, it can give me an all-weekend high. I feel like I accomplished something, even though I did not in any way contribute to the book I just read. That does not really matter to me though, because I did accomplish learn a new view on something. I was challenged to learn that the world as it is could be different in millions of ways. And this fact might be something that one can forget over the passing of a dull working week. Weekends are for challenge and inspiration! Hope you had great one!
