I have had the recipe on my to do list for two years. Finally I made them. According to the recipe the batch make about 50 pieces. They are 4 cm in diameter and ½ cm thick. I think mine are less than 4 cm and thinner than ½ cm because it made about 65 cookies. They are tiny but good. We had some for the afternoon coffee today. The rest I put in a old tin box for Christmas. Well, if we have not eaten them before.
About a week ago or may be a bit more I bought two packages of hyacinth bulbs in glass vases. I said to my husband, look at these, my mom and aunties used to grow hyacinths in water vases in the 50’s and 60’s. I have to buy a couple. I hope I will be able to grow them. Back home I put them in a kitchen cabinet to put in the vases the next day. But, oops, I had forgotten all about them till today when I happened to open the cabinet. I now have “planted” them, one pink and one blue, according to the instructions on the packages plus that I found more about how to succeed with them on the net. Unfortunately, they will not bloom in time for Christmas but beginning of next years will be nice too.
For the last tree weeks it has practically been raining every day. So the snow today was a nice surprise for a change. It probably will be gone by tomorrow as the temperature still is above zero.
Already long ago I mentioned to my husband I’d like to have a shelf on or above my writing desk. Last week at IKEA I saw a TV unit/table which would fit perfect as a shelf. Jacky is convinced we bought it just for him 😉
It’s Father’s Day today. This year I made a carrot cake. As always when I tell my husband I am going to use carrots in a cake or in any other dessert he is kind of in panic. I can’t figure out why because, every time, afterwards he admits it was delicious. I hope you all had a great Father’s Day.
Yesterday when we went to the nearby supermarket my husband said, isn’t it strange that the Christmas tree is not yet here. I said, I think they won’t bring it until the end of this month. Today when we went there we both, at the same time said, look, look, the tree, it’s here. It literally brightened our mood on a gray rainy day.
Here is a photo of a bouquet of Gerbera I bought in the middle of last week. I read on the net they can last for two weeks or longer without wilting if you prepare them properly. Which I did, so I think I will be able to enjoy them for quite a while still 🙂 That’s if they were fresh when I bought them 😉
Two more colorings. First I colored the one with the butterflies in blue with the background in white. I looked at it and thought it might have looked nicer with a black background. I printed a second page. I said to my husband I will color the butterflies in green this time. I regret the black background. Anyway, it doesn’t matter because, eventually they probably will end up in the shredder.
