A Tale of two Tortes

It was the day of my triannual doctors appointment and I had some concerns so I was not in a positive mood to begin with.   In order to deal with my emotions I did what I realized I often do and got very busy with a project that I could complete and feel a sense of control and accomplishment.   This time it was making two tortes, a Hazelnut and an Almond.   They were my aunts recipes and they came out quite well.   There isn't much left of them now but this is how they looked that afternoon.
