The first Sunday of Lent always has the gospel about Jesus going into the dessert desert.
This year's gospel was the super short one from Mark. It doesn't give a lot of detail, but it mentions that Jesus was in the desert for 40 days among the wild beasts.
Beasts are good! I have a ton of animal cookie cutters!
I made sugar cookie dough and kept adding cocoa powder so that I had 4 different shades of dough that, when the chunks were mixed together, blended beautifully as I rolled them out,.
They were pretty, but not very sweet, especially as we got into the darker cocoa sections, so I made them into sandwiches with a bit of frosting.
That had the added effect of halving the number of cookies so that they all disappeared the same day!
The second week's gospel was the Transfiguration, when Jesus revealed his glory.
So we made this nice chocolate cake...
That, when opened, revealed a "glorious" interior!
