We bake
On Friday, after doing our weekly Friday lesson on God made the world and me, we decided to make some rainy day biscuits as it was... a rainy day.
We whip out Mrs Lawson and flip through to her rainy day biscuits recipe and start checking our ingredients. We have to go to the shops for ground almonds and icing sugar. So, off we go to Spar but hobsmock and gollybonkers, they are out of Icing sugar. That's a first for me!! Are we back in the dark ages. Okay, well off we go to Pick 'n Pay (the BIG one) and guess what?? Yes, no icing sugar! What is happening? Anywho, we decided to give the icing sugar hunt a break as a merchandiser told us that it's a supplier problem!
So, back home with ground almonds and no icing sugar. Jethro and myself make cookie dough and we have a jolly good time doing it! The first time ever that I enjoy, actually have a smile on my face, making some type of dough. Usually it's such a horrible task, I avoid it at all cost. But today was an emergency!
Out comes the play dough cutters and rollers, etc. And my one cookie cutter and roller. Micah positioned in his clip on chair on the other side of the kitchen counter. Jethro on a little bench next to me. Cookie cutters in hand, surface floured and cookie dough, we are ready for the action.
The next day we enroll Tony in the action, as all the equipment surface again. With the last bit of dough Jethro decides to make a Gingerbread man, or in this case, a Rainy day biscuit man!
We managed to get some of these biscuits, as the rest were divided into packages for some specially nominated people. Jethro wants them to have some biscuits too! Such a sweetheart he is, much to Tony's stomach's detriment.
