💕💕 The picture is of a Romanian dessert called Cozonac 🎂. We just celebrated Orthodox Easter 🐰🐣.
I'll share now how I ended up confronting my fear. I really like it, but since I became a resident of another country, I couldn't find that perfect Cozonac, you know, the one that really hits the spot. But I was afraid to make it myself.
💕💕Why? Because it takes a lot of time ⏰, because it needs to be kneaded 🔪 really well, etc.
The thing is, every year I tried from a different store 🏪, even homemade from others 🚶, but still not what I wanted. At some point, I decided to try a recipe without kneading. It was good, better than the store-bought 🏪 one anyway, but still not the Cozonac I remembered...
So I gathered my courage and said I had to make it myself, to overcome this fear.
💕💕 And let me tell you something, it turned out tasty right from the first try 🤣. Over time, I've tweaked the recipe, improved my cooking skills 😜... I only make it for Christmas and Easter because it takes so long to make, and because if I ate it daily, it wouldn't be as special anymore 💕💕 But this is how my last Cozonac turned out, and I'd say it's the best one yet.
💕💕 What I want to emphasize is that it's all in our heads 🧠, it's just fear, nothing real. When we manage to overcome our fear, wonderful things can come out of it, like this delightful dessert 🥰.
💕💕 I understand it's not always easy, but there are ways to ease the process. 🌟
