Wednesday 9 May - still a looooong way to pay day. But at least we have other little pleasures to keep us occupied until then. I was so excited to bake tonight's cookie!! If I was still a carb-eater, this is the type of cookie I would have sank my teeth into. They are called Mexican Hot-Chocolate cookies, and lovie says they are njam-njam. I did not tell him they have chillie in, but could not really taste it when I revealed the secret to him. So if you are brave, please put a bit more chile in the recipe.

It is an easy, quick recipe, and oh teh delight of grabbing little blobs of chocolate dough and rolling them between your palm into  balls to be dipped in sugar, cinnamon and chillie reminded me of childhood adventures in perfecting the art of mud-cookies.

Here is the link, and people - they are crispie on the outside and chewie on the inside - almost like me. And the cookie testing station at work was very busy today, with the Lemon-Poppy cookies scoring a 10/10 from every tester. Just proving again that we should never judge a cookie by its appearance.



I DO NOT KNOW WHY GOOGLE IS GERMAN TONIGHT!!!!! Just another challenge as I now have to guess what each tab and instruction means.

Anyway, the cookies came out perfect and cracking on the top just like Martha's Stewart's picture. I am so competitive, even competing against myself and the whole of Martha's test kitchen (LOL)



Just for your entertainment, I am posting another picture as evidence of my knitting expertise. This hat looked so nice on the model in the picture, but alas, either I used too big needles, or my head has shrunk with old age. But true to my personality, there is definitely a positive side in having a home-made too-big fluffy-pink knitted hat - I can wear it 3 ways. Please let me know which style fits me the best.

1) The "flippant confident" style


2)  The "way it was suppose to fit"style


3)  The "cover the bad piece" style 



It is from the Bits and Pieces number 9 publication from "The Art of Knitting"

Talk to you again tomorrow night....

    You are both very funny girls. I agree with AMPIE - very apt, and no, although I knit every day I also have a day job so cannot do one item a day. I am busy with a horrible green jersey that has taken me 4 weeks so far, but soon my lovelies, it will grace th pages of my blog for you to admire
