One of the things that's not great about being a pagan is the lack of established food traditions for holidays. I like having special food to mark special occasions. So this year, I decided that, okay, I am a solitary practitioner, time to invent my own food traditions.

I like baking, and a lot of my family's holiday food traditions revolve around baked goods, so I'm picking some baking recipes I like that are a little more work than I'd usually do (so I don't make them often), and assigning them to holiday. There's also some recipes that I haven't made before that I'm going to try this year, and keep them if they work.

Disting is this week, so today, I made saffron buns. (Because Disting is the beginning of the end of winter, so it feels appropriate to eat something that's yellow and smells like citrus, for the sun.) I haven't made these before but they smell amazing and I'm very much looking forward to eating them.
