I've finished my Kuschelkissen (= cuddly pillows). Look:



Are they cute or are they cute?

Other than that, I made a food run, lost a battle against shortcut pastry(*), we had a visit from the physiotherapist and it's still frigging cold. Clearly, Corona ate Spring this year, too.

(*) Meaning that instead of a proper chicken and tarragon pie I ended up with a savoury Streuselkuchen - unfortunately, with a very hard and only half-baked crust.

They are very cute!
I love polka dots ♥

Corona ate Spring over here as well...I think we've had three or four warm days over the whole months of April and May.

Same here. And we can't even switch on the heating, as it's done — or, in our case, not done — centrally. :(

How did you lose the battle against ... a dough? ;-)

By being an idiot and not looking at my measurements as I should have. Mürbeteig can be very sensitive.

Those cuddly pillows look very cute, indeed! And filled with dried lavender they might smell heavenly, at least for lavender lovers. Sorry for your heating problem, that´s a worst case scenario you have!

Being cold is certainly unpleasant, but it can't be helped, unfortunately. The pillows are simply filled with polyester filling, but I think the girls will be okay with that.

Warmth would be mightily welcome, but weather forecast isn't very promising.

Shortcrust pastry is a pain to make, I've seen them doing it on GBBO. When I make pies or tarts I cheat and just get the frozen ones and concentrate my energy on the fillings.

That was my original plan, too, but the local supermarket only had puff pastry.

They’re gorgeous! It’s freezing here too, although that is to be expected as it’s winter. I’m huddled under two doonas, wearing two jumpers — no heater.

Why not? Is it broken or is heating too expensive?

Both! Luckily I don’t feel the cold the way others do, and our winters are fairly mild. It doesn’t really snow in my city. We will be looking for a new residence as soon as my sister recovers from her knee replacement. Neither of us want to go through another summer in this house! The summers are harsher than the winters.

Your little cushions are definitely cute.
