All Souls’ Day is not a public holiday here in Germany (well – it is a holiday, but you still have to work). In the south, the day before is a public holiday (All Saints’ Day). Anyway. Not sure how it is in other countries – many started celebrating Halloween on the 31st and that day got muuuuch bigger over the years than All Saints’ Day or All Souls’ Day together ;) In Mexico the 2nd of November is a big celebration even though it is not named All Souls’ Day – they call it “Día de los Muertos” aka. “The day of the dead”. And as you probably noticed already – I am celebrating that day this year with some special Day of the Dead Cookies… a day early though :P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
