As a distraction from The Town, a rather stupid film about bank robbers, I spend a happy couple of hours snipping (and rustling much to Adrian's chagrin) away at baking parchment to create the ideal environment for blind baking the pastry for these rustic looking chaps.
Tesco's delivered the ingredients around 9pm and fortunately I was still sober enough to complete the control batch before going to bed. This group are from the follow up morning batch.
It is a pity that modern lives are too busy for this sort of laborious activity because it did provide a greater sense of satisfaction than I got from the sending threatening letters to old people who have failed to prove they are still alive.
I hope the recipients enjoy them and a happy thanksgiving is had by all.
