Advent 2025 - Day 15
Dec. 15th, 2025 08:51 pmNew week, more slave labour. *sigh* Mum checked her calendar and realized that it's (apparently) time to change the bedding. So we filled Louise the Elder with bed linens, pillow cases and the likes. Joy, joy.
I also went to the Auchan supermarket and managed to spend an ungodly amount of money. Well, Mum's Christmas present (two boxes of Lindor chocolate balls and a big box of Pocket Coffee) was included, as well as a jar of pistachio spread for me, so it wasn't really surprising. Two minor annoyances lit up my day (NOT): the wending machine for coffee had been exchanged for a new, shiny model that stubbornly refused to work, so no coffee for yours truly, and I managed to leave the big tub of fruit yogurt behind while trying to stuff everything I had bought into just two shopping bags, so that I could board the tram without too much difficulty. That was the yogurt I wanted to use for müesli. Now I had to sacrifice the tub of cinnamon-and-apple yogurt for the same, which is a sacrilege if you ask me, but there was no way around it. Damn my sieve brain! No surprising, though, I was still annoyed by not getting that coffee.
Anyway, we had leftovers for lunch, so after having started Louise, I had the time to glace and decorate my almond-poppy seed cookies from yesterday. They turned out really pretty. I might take a photo of them (and the pistachio stars) later, unless I forget it again.
So, that was basically it, a busy day, but at least a successful one. Tomorrow I'll make the flourless almond cookies, making a cooked chocolate cream filling for the first time in my life. I hope I won't butcher it, as I bought butter, for just this purpose (otherwise we use margarine for everything), and a whole Tafel of dark chocolate. *fingers crossed*
