I’m really a billion years old, but I have the personality of a five year old and I’m trapped in the body of a 21 year old. I’m a grad student at Columbia and I have a love/hate relationship with climatology. I love the beach and shooting stars and glitter and sparkles and birthdays and music and frosted cupcakes and reading and love and making faces and laughing and my family and John Mayer and Bozo the teddy bear :)

&lt;p&gt;After I mentioned that Exxon was controlling the airspace above the Arkansas spill, I got a fiery Ask accusing me of spreading conspiracy theories because only the FAA controlled airspace. My mistake: the FAA is controlling the airspace above the spill, per Exxon’s request.&lt;/p&gt;

Now, I’d never heard of or tried Kringel prior to seeing this post. But for some reason the deliciousness on my laptop screen was begging to be made. So, I stopped by the grocery store after work and picked up all the necessary ingredients. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Andddd, I successfully baked an Estonian traditional bread-cake made of dough, cinnamon and sugar, aka Kringel. It came out surprisingly well! :) It was like the layered, baked, and slightly less sugary version of a churro. It would probably pair well with a chocolate dipping sauce. I wish I’d thought of that before everyone devoured it. Then again, the fact that every last crumb had been eating within two hours is probably a sign that it was a success, right? 😊&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try baking it! It’s relatively simple, tasty and not all that time consuming (I made dinner while waiting for my dough to rise). The recipe I followed is here (you need to scroll down to the paragraph above the comments section to find the recipe in English): &lt;a href="http://www.justlovecookin.com/2011/11/estonian-kringel.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.justlovecookin.com/2011/11/estonian-kringel.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.justlovecookin.com/2011/11/estonian-kringel.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bozotheteddybear.tumblr.com/post/47688465562</link><guid>http://bozotheteddybear.tumblr.com/post/47688465562</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2013 03:52:49 -0400</pubDate><category>baking</category><category>estonian</category><category>breadcake</category><category>sugar</category><category>dough</category><category>cinnamon</category><category>kringel</category><category>yumminess</category><category>delicious</category><category>bread cake</category><category>recipe</category><category>food</category><category>obesity</category><category>buzzfeed</category></item><item><title>This Sunday Secret resonated with me more than any other one...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5de7f000cafb4567d142505c17d87fa3/tumblr_mkwm3fxAGG1qzmtjio1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Sunday Secret resonated with me more than any other one I’ve seen in weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
