Baking madly

Well, sort of. I've baked the first three batches of cookies - you can check the progress in the pinned entry, I'll update steadily. These were relatively easy ones - in theory. Except that I got really creative. I've coloured the aniseed biscuits green because that looks great with the white pine nuts and made them into little sandwiches via glueing two together with the help of Spekulaas spread. Mum very much approved of the new version. *g*

( More baking stuff under the cut )

In the afternoon I've prepared stuff for tomorrow, when I'll be baking four different sorts of biscuits. I chopped macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, soft toffee bonbons and other things for an hour and a half, and now I'm fairly dead on my feet. I don't own a food processor (no room for it in our kitchen), and my chopper died on me two years ago. I wish they'd sell those separately, not just as parts of a whole set with other parts that I already own and that are still working perfectly. *sigh*

Anyway, needless to say that I didn't get much else done today, save for the weekly laundry. Tomorrow promises the same, but at least baking is fun.
