When Things Go Wrong
This is what happens when things go wrong.What you see here on the photo, should be a poppy seed roll, which is called bejgli in Hungarian. It's a traditional food especially for Christmas and Easter.
Although it's traditional, it's the first time I made it. My mother has never made it and somehow it wasn't important till now.
This is how it looked before going into the oven, one with poppy seeds, the other with walnuts. They are not identical, I know but still, acceptable.
Than this happened. Nice, isn't it? Both were cracked open. Usually I would be very angry, but this time I said I won't let anyone or anything ruin my Christmas! No way!
After tasting it I said it's ok, nothing is ruined. it looks terrible, but I'm lucky, my family appreciates everything homemade, they never criticize me or anyone else for something that is not perfect. They loved it. Must admit, both tasted heavenly good.
I'm always saying Happiness is a state of mind, not a place on Earth. Sometimes things go wrong but who cares? If it's not the end of the world, then we deal with it. I've done much worse in the kitchen.
This definitely needs some practicing.

Thank you!
They look delicious. The one with poppy seeds is my favourite and I'm always baking some at Easter. 🙂
Thank you dear Roxy, I'm glad to hear it's popular over there as well. How do you call it? I'm planning to bake another set today and I'm going to add raisins as well!!!! 😍 I ♥️ raisins! So I'll be back with another post 😜
In Bucovina we call them poppy seed rolls or sweet bread with poppy seed filling. I don't add raisins to these but to the simple sweet bread. Or those with nuts filling.
Waiting for your delicious post although I started (again) the diet. I hope photos will not add calories. 😂
Broncos are absolutely delicious! I love both of them although I probably have to admit that the poppy seed is my favorite! Very fortunate that you did well on your first time around because I find new things challenging for me to make sometimes. Yours even looked recognizable!
I agree that it's very nice to have a supportive family and a grateful one at that. My family Love's anyting homemade and so I have never had a problem with my mistakes. They eat them and smile and even help clean up. LOL it's the little things in life like that to put a smile on my face. Gratefulness. Supportiveness. Unconditional love. I see that you are also lucky and have the right attitude on life. Why should that be the end of anybody's world? I'm living I'm up right. Life is good! Happy New Year to you and yours and I think they look fabulous. You can send my peace FedEx. LOL

Thank you Denise, looks like the poppy seed one is very popular, that's the one that is finished first. You are right, the little things that count, and homemade is always better, especially when enjoyed with family.
Check out my new post, there's a new version posted :))
I'd love to FedEx you some, but ... you know .. :P
Happy New Year dear! Let this year be the best!
Who cares. Sometimes things can look fantastic, but taste terrible. Taste is more important than looks.
Hahaha, substance over from, right? I agree, sometimes you buy lovely things and they taste awful. Taste is indeed the most important, since this is for consumption, not for TV shows, where they use all the tricks from the book just to make it look fantastic. Then when you try it out at home you get a totally different dish.
They look good to me! Now I'm hungry :)
Thank you Keith, unfortunately there isn't any left :)
I knew it! :(
The first plate was gone in two minutes 😂
I bet they still taste great 😍😍😍
They do, I wish I could send you some 😀
Hmm... it doesn’t look terrible at all, perfectionist (?), it actually looks delicious and I’d eat it happily. Always up for homemade too.

I'm not a perfectionist, far from it, but the upper part is wide open, which shouldn't be. Should have had a golden brown crust. It tasted great though. Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you as well. Now next time your cooking doesn’t look so great, hey we’re here! Just toss it over! 😬😉
