A bit of dodgy Christmas baking.



It's a bit of a sad but true fact, that I am in fact not the worlds greatest cook.
I don't really like cooking all that much and something nearly always goes wrong.
No matter what.

I quite like baking.
Well, I have to confess, I like the idea of baking slightly more than the actual baking.

Any who.
I spent the morning dutifully reading the latest Donna Hay magazine and drooling over her gorgeous biscuits.
Not one to follow an established recipe, I decided to make some stained glass window biscuits.



It started well with boiled lollies.


Big boy had a wow of a time crushing them for me.


I didn't factor in the high humidity today.
Our climate is usually hot and very dry.
So the bits of lollie clumped together.
Bugger!


I rolled and cut and placed.

Threw them in the oven,
and,
well, literally forgot about them.


These are the "not so burnt"ones.


With a bit of  "fancy twine" (that's what the label said on the box).
Up they went.
They taste OK.
Oh well, at least I tried.

How is your baking going?
