I'm glad there were lussekatter. Perhaps it is a little thing, but it is an important little thing, and it's not only important that the important little things happen, but it's important that they stay important.

To my mind, one proves yeast. One blooms gelatin. The gelatin is being given a chance to find its feet and thicken up a little; whereas, the way I store yeast, it literally is proving itself - I keep yeast so long that I'm never sure whether it's alive, hence I always feed it first and see if it wakes up.
