So, I did bake the tahini cookies while Mum attended Mass via telly. They are delicious, even though they look like small pieces of cow pie. That's the problem with American-style cookies: they expand while baking, until they no longer have any shape whatsoever. But at least they are yummy.
I also coated 28 coconut lambs and 8 Nutella bunny heads with white chocolate and coconut flakes (the lambs, that is). They spent several hours in the fridge; then, after the chocolate had set, I boxed them - and put them back into the fridge. Unfortunately, the balcony can no longer serve as an ersatz pantry. Not at temperatures of 16-18°C in the early afternoon, while the sun is cooking this side of the building. And this flat came without a real pantry; all 400-plus flats in our ten-storey concrete monstrosity did. These type of buildings were designed that way. I'd like ten undisturbed minutes with the designer in a dark alley...
Anyway, nearly half the Easter baking is done, although I still have to glaze the remaining Nutella bunnies, as soon as Elise collects her lambs and tahini cookies tomorrow, so that I'd have some free space in the fridge again. Therefore I allowed myself a rest and a nap, and then finished the mini felt teddy. Tomorrow I'll take a pic of it (and the three mini kitties) before they go on to their new homes.
Later we went out for a walk with Mum, but darkess fell so suddenly that we only managed to the other entrance of the building. Still, it was some exercise in the fresh air, so it's okay.
