wiseheart | Kitchen duty, Day 1

I've finished the first part of my baking commission. The results are 93 pieces of Cashew-Coconut Balls, which turned out extremely well... at least according to Mum. I liked them, too. I've made three batches, two for the commission and one for us. They're now peacefully resting in their cookie tins, and I'm a tad tired. Hand-shaping 93 walnut-sized balls was time-consuming and hard on my back and feet. I know, there are people who can do such thing perfectly well sitting down. I'm not one of those people, unfortunately. Grandma never sat down while cooking or baking, and that's how I was trained, too. *g*

Tomorrow things will continue with jam-filled, flower-shaped shortbread biscuits and these meringue-topped ones, so that the excess egg white won't be wasted. This is an economical household. ;))

I also made Shepherd's Pie, which wasn't finished in time, so we ate leftover soup and sandwiches - but that means I won't have to cook in the next three days, which is always a win. I talked on the phone to H. and my friend Evie, meaning that there was also social life. And now I'm pretty tired and decided not to do much for the rest of the evening.
