As the host of the upcoming business meetings, I will be presenting this week’s selected cookie, accompanied by espresso.
In 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. King delivered his iconic speech, beginning with:
“…and the Almighty said to me, ‘Martin Luther King, in which age would you like to live?’”
Dr. King then made a mental journey toward the promised land, reflecting on the magnificence of civilizations. Like Dr. King, I am a believer in the civilizations that have shaped us. So today, as I attempt to be a baker, I turn to Western civilization and the remarkable Napoleon.
I’m making a traditional Danish cookie shaped like Napoleon’s Hat, known as ‘Napoleonshatte.’ However, I must honestly admit that they lose their shape in the oven, much like hats lose their form in autumn rain or just after the battle of Waterloo; my cookies, like Napoleon’s hat, struggle to hold their shape.
