Well, the ole Vanillekipferl turned out ok if a little
unexciting. I don’t think it was helped by the fact they didn’t quite look the
part – they were more open ended brackets than crescent moons.. think I took
the whole ‘roll into a sausage’ part of the recipe a bit too literally! They
were tasty enough though, but just like vanilla ice-cream – whilst it’s nice
and does the job of an ice-cream, I would never pick it over mint choc chip or
honeycomb (oh, goodness – I now want ice-cream in the middle of a cold, wet
snap!)
Lemon Drizzle Cake is on the menu this weekend – it’s wanted
for Christmas and I’m quite looking forward to baking it. A lady I used to work
with used to make the most amazing drizzle cake – she really should have
marketed it. I wish I knew her secret but am going to follow a Jamie Oliver
recipe which I’ve tried once before and it turned out ok. I’d like it to turn
out amazing this time though, so need to find me some poppy seeds and a decent
juicer.
And Boy! - hasn’t it been drizzling! Kind of hope it’s not
too wet for Christmas and I know there won’t be snow but an icy cold, dry
winter’s day would be nice. Still not feeling as festive as I’d like but am
hoping that once the weekend hits and we’re only a day or two away, it’ll kick
in.
So, brace yourselves people, this could be your last chance
to sample my wonderful blog seeing as, according to the ancient Mayan culture –
today is the end of the world!! Or at
least there will be a catastrophic event like Earth heading towards a black
hole at the centre of the universe, or colliding with the Planet Nibiru (or
Planet X, depending on your fancy). Apparently, this collision was prophesised
by a lady with regular contact with extra-terrestrials through a communication
chip implanted in her head as a child.
Personally, I like to follow the more New Age interpretation
that this dates marks the time in which Earth and all who sail on her undergo a
positive physical or spiritual transformation with today marking the start of a
new era. Trying not to come over all philosophical but:
“They must often change who would be constant in happiness or
wisdom.”
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
