On one side, stand the son & me, who are not great egg fans at all; me far worse than him! The rest on the other side. It’s the quintessential question…to quiche or not to quiche? One wonder’s why I make it anyway. Well, firstly the die-hard baker in me overtakes the egg-disliker; & then, I actually…

Back to baking again…ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES
“And every day when I’ve been good, I get an orange after food.” Robert Louis Stevenson ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES Orange Shortbread Christmas cookies from the ‘Great Big Cookie Book’…crispy, buttery & just right on sweetness.

The recipe is quite similar to the Lime Shortbread Cookies one I posted a few days ago; except there are no twists to the original recipe this time, but for the shapes. If you haven’t got cookie cutters, worry not! Just…

Coffee in a Trifle …Simple & Impressive Dessert for coffee lovers!
‘Just around the corner, There’s a rainbow in the sky. So let’s have another cup o’ coffee, And let’s have another piece o’ pie.’ Irving Berlin, 1932 ‘COFFEE IN A TRIFLE’… Here starts a brand new week of coffee opportunities. This happens to me every November, when coffee is my favourite ingredient in my month of the ‘Scorpio’! In my words, there are very few things that I would attach an ‘automatic-droolamatic‘ quotient to.
