What a glorious day we are having up here in my wee piece of Scotland. I hope all you lovely folks down south are blessed with such good weather on your bank holiday, fingers crossed. I never look at forecasts so am oblivious...
Last weeks make was these...
yummy, scrummy, in my tummy [lots] brownies!
Not to be too decadent, they have bananas in them, so healthy really if we discount the butter, sugar, chocolate and walnuts. I love brownies, especially the edge pieces that are slightly over done. I had forgotten all about this recipe from a long ago Good Food magazine and my Biscuits find them less rich than the ones we usually bake from Nigella's Domestic Goddess or Jamie 'O's Cook with Jamie. I love the ease of making, of stirring lazily and the soothing smell of chocolate warming in the pan. I want one now so am thrilled I had enough sense to freeze some.
I am stuck a little on this weeks make as I am reaching into the realms of Christmas making - I know it's early but if I don't start now I'll be a 'baldy, crazy lady' Ali, like the scary cat lady from the Simpsons, ready to crumble in a heap in the corner, wanting never to see Christmas again and I can't have that! No way No how!! I give myself a huge list you see and this year, I'll capitalize that again for effect, THIS YEAR I am determined to get ahead, hence the problem. I don't want to be showing them all in detail on here in case the cat gets out of the bag but it's what I'll be mainly making. I'll maybe have to play that game with the photos, of really close up parts of the makes, making it hard to tell what the full thing is. But that would defeat the purpose really as of course I want to show them...aaah!!
Ach we'll see.....
