Advent 2025 - Day 5

[wiseheart]

It was a busy, busy day. For starters, I had to do the grocery shopping. Well, part of it anyway, as I can't do the whole thing in one go, due to the lack of a car - or several extra hands.

Then we had to bring our laundry day forward one day as tomorrow my friend Elise will come over and we didn't want her to be met with the drying washing all over the flat.

In the afternoon I did some more baking. I made a dumbed-down version of Spekulatius, in the form of Stempelkekse, as I don't have the actual moulds for them. I also made these pistachio stars - the biscuits themselves, that is, decoration will be done tomorrow.

Thank God we had leftovers because cooking wouldn't really happen on a day like this.

In the late afternoon H. called to hear my report about the fair. Theirs will take place next week, I'll call her and ask how she has done afterwards.

The pistachio stars sound very good.

I hope they will be, especially after adding the pistachio creme and the white chocolate.

I thank God for my tumble drier every time I use it. I occasionally have to finish one or two items by hanging, but that's what radiators are for, right?

I wish I had the room for a tumble drier, honestly.

The drama with drying clothes all over the living area looks familiar to me! There's a drier in the basement, but I don't use it...

Why not? I'd love to have one, but I don't have the space for it.

The cookies look delicious! I love both white chocolate and pistachio. Hope your friend's fair turns out well, too.
