Kodhaṃ jahe vippajaheyya mānaṃ,
saṃyojanaṃ sabbamatikkameyya.
Taṃ nāmarūpasmimasajjamānaṃ
akiñcanaṃ nānupatanti dukkhā.
One should give up anger, renounce pride,
and overcome all fetters.
Suffering never befalls one
who clings not to mind and body and is detached.
Dhammapada 17.221
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
Aloha kākahiāka ōukōu a me hauʻōli lā Pōʻahā. Ī lā hōʻokamahāʻo nōu ōukōu. Ō kā maluhia a me aloha mau lōa.Three ice cream layers loaded with Biscoff spread, dark chocolate and meringue pieces.
I had a jar of Biscoff spread sitting in the pantry after picking it up on a whim… in fact, I have a whole shelf full of stuff that I’m not exactly sure what to do with! You know how it goes – you read about something often enough on food blogs and stumble across it in a store so you buy some. Then you need to come up with something interesting to do with it.
Offering to bring dessert to a casual dinner with friends proved to be the perfect inspiration in this case! With our European heatwave still in full swing, ice cream was a no-brainer. Ice cream cake with three layers of different flavours and textures was the winner. A creamy cookie butter layer, a rich mousse-like chocolate layer and soft vanilla layer studded…

Festive baking time! Rich, yeasted sweet bread studded with dark chocolate, in a handy little size for parties and lunchboxes.
Makes 24 muffin-sized panettone
Active time about 2 hours
Resting time 5 – 6 hours
Baking time about 40 minutes
Because it is made in so many stages, I recommend reading through the whole recipe first, then dividing it up to suit your schedule – if you don’t have time to do the whole thing in one day, you can refrigerate the dough overnight after the first rise and pick it up the next day.
Note that all the ingredients (including milk, butter and eggs) should be at room temperature.
Sponge
1 x 7g sachet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
60ml (1/4 cup) milk
1 large egg yolk
15g (1 Tbsp) sugar

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer…

The energies of the 12:12 gateway are now permeating the human psyche. This year it coincides with a new moon (in Sagittarius). In a week or so we will commence our last Mercury Retrograde for the year, followed by the December Solstice and then a Full Moon on the day when many are celebrating the birth of Christ. We are in for a busy December!
The number 12 is of particular significance. It is made up on 1 and 2, and adds to 3. So we have both Unity (1) and Duality (2) leading to Catalyst for Change (3).
Being part of all-that-is, we are always in Unity with the creator, but we have chosen to experience the veil of forgetfulness in this dimension, which creates our perception of Duality from the creator (and every one and every thing else). Once we realise the true nature of our being…

Dhamme ca ye ariyapavedite ratā
anuttarā te vacasā, manasā kammunā ca.
Te santisoraccasamādhisaṇṭhitā,

Those who are devoted to the Dhamma made known by the Noble Ones
are unsurpassed in speech, thought and action.
They are established in peace, gentleness and concentration,
and have reached the essence of learning and wisdom.
Sutta Nipāta 3.332
The Discourse Collection: Selected Texts from the Sutta Nipāta, translated by John D. Ireland
Aloha kākahiāka kākou ā Hauʻōli lā Pōʻakōlu. Ē hōʻomanāo mālāma kekāhi ī kekāhi. Ō kā maluhia nō me ʻoe.
Good morning and a Happy Wednesday to all. Let’s remember to always take care of and keep well each other. Peace be with you.
For the dough:
2 tsp or 1 pack instant yeast
1/4 cup tepid water
1 teaspoon sugar
3-1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
For the assembly:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup sugar
1. Dissolve yeast in tepid water, which is water with a temperature anywhere between 100 and 110 degrees F. To proof yeast, add 1 teaspoon sugar and let stand for 10 minutes. If the mixture doubles in volume then yeast is active.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and salt. Add the milk, melted butter, eggs, and yeast and combine well. On a clean surface dusted with flour, knead the mixture into a smooth elastic dough. Add more flour, if necessary.
3. Let the dough rest in a bowl greased lightly with canola oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until the size doubles, about three hours.
4. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Shape each part into a log and divide into eight equal parts with each piece weighing about 2-1/2 ounces. Roll each piece into a 3- by 5-inch rectangular sheet. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and sugar, and roll the sheet like you would a jelly roll. Start from one corner and roll towards the opposite corner. Then sprinkle the rolled dough with more breadcrumbs and sugar. Place the pieces with the seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Spanish bread freezes very well. Toss a frozen roll in the microwave and reheat for 30 seconds.
Susukhaṃ vata jīvāma,
verinesu averino.
Verinesu manussesu,
viharāma averino.
Happy indeed we live,
friendly amidst the hostile.
Amidst hostile people
we dwell free from hatred.

Imesu kira sajjanti,
Eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā;

Some recluses and brahmins, so called,
Are deeply attached to their own views;
People who only see one side of things
Engage in quarrels and disputes.

Hauʻōli Aloha Lāʻpule ā pau. Loāʻa ī kōu lā, ʻae hōʻokūʻu āku ī nā aloha pele. Ō kā maluhia nō me ʻoe.
Happy Aloha Sunday, everyone. Enjoy the day and let the Aloha flow. Peace be with you.
Sukarāni asādhūni,
attano ahitāni ca.
Yaṃ ve hitañca sādhuñca,

Easy to do are things
that are bad and harmful to oneself.
But exceedingly difficult to do
are things that are good and beneficial.

One should do what one teaches others to do;
if one would train others,
one should be well controlled oneself.
Difficult, indeed, is self-control.
