So I bought myself some cookie cutters - one gingerbread man and one Christmas Tree. And I made some Christmas tree cookies but the recipe was a little too much like shortbread so it was hard to work with. It kept crumbling when I was rolling it. But they looked and tasted great. I decorated them with a basic icing - with green food colouring - and sprinkles.
I want to make heaps for Christmas so I will keep experimenting until I find a really good cookie dough to use. The problem is that I have lots of great cookie recipes but none are rolling ones - just dropping spoonful type recipes.

33 days till my birthday

it is Wasabi peas. If you like up-your-nose heat - then these are for you.
My other new love is Pepsi-max - I fel a little like I have turned to the dark side, however it still has caffeine but no sugar. And doesn’t taste as sweet as diet coke.
So there you go Morgan.
You converted me.

Well, I do have another new love - it is selling things on TradeMe - yay for getting rid of stuff that just sits around collecting dust! And yay for people buying that stuff!!!

So it is that time of year again - the annual Christmas pick - where we have to buy one member of our family a $30 gift. I got my cousin’s wife, Vanessa. Again. I got her last year too!!! Oh well, could have been worse. Much, much worse!

So I had to give the car back.
Back to driving Nina. And, ok, so she’s a good little car, and stuff, but …………….. sigh…………………..(insert gloomy Eeyore-like phrase)

By the way there’s only 44 days till my birthday.
