wiseheartSorry, it's a German saying I have no idea how to express in English so that it would mean the same. It was a busy day. I did the grocery shopping in the morning and the next batch of Easter baking in the afternoon.
I made the Amaretti cookies and the biscuits for the alfajores ones. Tomorrow I'll make my first attempt to make dulce de leche, using a can of sweetened condensed milk. If it doesn't work, I've got a jar of caramel spread in my nonexistent pantry. It won't be the same, but I'll be able to finish the alfajores cookies, plus make these ones tomorrow. After that, there will be only the quark-oil dough bunnies left, and the homemade Kinder Choco Bons disguised as Easter eggs. As I said: limited baking frenzy this time.
After the baking Mum and I gave the stain remover soap a chance to remove the ugly yellow spots caused by a dead bug's remains on Grandma's beautiful crocheted doilies. I have the distinct feeling that we'll have to make several tries, but I hope the thing will work in the end.
And people wonder why I hate bugs!

Sometimes I can make a guess at German meaning, but English has stolen so much from other languages in the intervening millennia that it doesn't always work out. This was, apparently, one of those occasions! Lol.
