For more Absolutely, Fantabulously, Amazingly, Awesome photos nip over to Lotus‘ for a quick look.. cheers Kim…
And the winner is Casdok.. YAY!!!!!!! The mystery object was indeed clouds from a plane. Lou and Hyphen also guessed correctly so YAY!!!!!!!! again…
My brother also sent me some new photos of my niece. So this is where I do the proud aunty bit and go, Look! Look isn’t she gorgeous.. *sigh*”
I found this recipe and immediately I thought of Tiff and Ivy, as well as Hyphen-Mama. It looked like it would make pretty nice biscuits (cookies).
*note.. soy flour has a strong flavour and can be bitter, apparently the bitterness decreases with cooking.
*another note.. I haven’t cooked these bickies so if they are horrible, I am sorry.
INGREDIENTS:
125g(4 1/2oz) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons castor (superfine) sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
110g (3 3/4 oz) fine rice flour
75g (2 1/2 oz) gluten free cornflour (cornstach)
3 tablespoons soy flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
200g (7 oz) chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celcius (325 fahrenheit). Line three flat baking trays with baking paper.
In a medium bowl,cream the butter and sugars. add the egg and vanilla essence and beat well.
sift the flours,bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder three times into a bowl (or mix well with a whisk to ensure they are well combined). add to the butter mixture and beat well. Stir in the chocolate chips.
place large tablespoons of the mixture on the baking trays. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool on the trays for 5 minutes,then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
I hope that these biscuits taste as good as they look. All the ingredients were available at my local supermarket.. cheers Kim 🙂

My gorgeous14 year old God daughter B is off to Japan this Friday. B is really excited and wishes to thank YOU. The Lovely Internets, who donated over $100 towards her trip. You can read all about it here if you want. I think that the trip will be wonderful. Can you imagine 20 ‘country kids’ getting off the plane in Japan then hitting the noodle bars in Tokyo before heading to Osaka? *sigh* I wish I was going (and I bet B’s mum wishes that she was going as well)
I am going to Melbourne with Mum on Thursday, just for the day. We fly out of Hobart at 9am and leave Melbourne at 8 pm. So are there any Victorians out there who can tell me what I can do in Heidelburg for four hours. I have googled Heidelburg and I really don’t want to go to Dominos or JB HiFi.. *sigh* I was thinking of catching a train and visiting the National Gallery but I have never caught a train before and I am a tad nervous about it.
It snowed here yesterday and this morning we are snowed in. I read in Veronica’s comments that XBox wasn’t entirely sure whether Vonnie was serious or not when she mentioned that some roads would possibly be closed because of the weather.
Yep XB she was serious. This is Australia mate and any excuse for a sickie will do.
2 inches of snow on a major highway and we shut the bugger.
cheers kim xxx
