Every compulsive behavior has its own consequences – with varying degrees of severity. The consequence of my CDCCCB (see CDCCCB I) is that it is associated with a huge Pre-Christmas stress (on top of the non Butterbredele-derived Christmas stress).
Well, this year, I thought about optimizing a solution for this problem. It should be fun and efficient. I had the glorious idea to invite three friends – two of them originating from Alsace or close by. And I was convinced that – being four of us – we would bake four times more Butterbredele in a quarter of the time than I usually need. How awesome would that be!
But once more, I realized that my optimization solutions don’t correlate with reality. And we ended up in the middle of the night with only a few amorphous and suntanned Butterbredele. Nevermind, it was such a precious evening with great ladies. And the point of all this is that I kept my very precious personal tradition. And now, I am being again at peace with myself. And Christmas is over. Finally.
