Cookies!

Posted on May 28, 2008

Betty Crocker I luvre you! Since mov­ing to Eng­land I usu­ally make all my baked goods from scratch. The lack of an aisle ded­i­cated to all things Betty was a bit of a shock when I first arrived. They do have a cou­ple of pack­aged baked goods here but noth­ing that’s famil­iar. The other day I noticed a pack­age of BC choco­late chip cook­ies– WOO HOO!! Yes­ter­day Squidge and I tried it out.

As you can see a pretty suc­cess­ful foray into bak­ing cookies.

This after­noon we had some friends by for lunch and a bit of a play.  Squidge had a fantab­u­lous time!





Lickity! Lick! Lick!

I  baked a cake on Sun­day to take to Joy’s house.  

  Boston Cream Pie– it was a bit nerve wrack­ing as Wal said it smelled like wet dog.  Not exactly what you want to hear when you’re tak­ing a cake you’ve never made before to a friends house.  A new friend who might not appre­ci­ate a wet dog smelling cake!!  All was well and every­one pre­tended that the cake was yummy.  Thanks Joy and Co!!

One of the mostest bestest things about bak­ing with kids (BWK) is that they like to lick the bowl.

I went to the walk in cen­tre at With­ing­ton com­mu­nity hos­pi­tal because of my wrist.  The diag­no­sis is ten­dini­tis.  I was told I should rest it. No cook­ing, clean­ing or lift­ing Squidge– like that’s going to happen.
