I made these biscuits this morning.  Vanillakipferls.  Whenever I see them I think of Grandma – she used to make them all the time and we devoured them.  Buttery and almondy.  Delicious.  So I cranked out this lot and took some over to her for her afternoon tea.  She was delighted.  However, since I am on this no-sugar thing (one week down) I couldn’t sample them so I don’t know if they were true to form or not.   Fingers crossed they were just like hers and made her remember the good old days like I did.

Loving the range of herbal teas that are out right now.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many in the shops.  These are awesome in the evening after dinner but also as an afternoon pick me up.  This no-sugar challenge is hardest in the afternoons.

 

And I have just completed a third of this challenge!!

Not feeling very happy about this one.  My beautiful friend for many many years Laura is moving to the UK.  Fast trip up to Sydney to say a final farewell.  I am happy that I got to see her and her gorgeous family before they left, and happy that I have a new holiday destination, but so so sad that they are going.  Missing you already xx
