Blog-Sitting

Hello everyone!

D, here this week. I'm back on 'house and blog-sitting' duty. 

As I post this blog, Mum and Dad will be sunning themselves in Spain.

It's been the school half-term holiday this past week, and I enjoyed the break from work. I got up to a few things, like baking which Mum and Dad both enjoyed before they went on holiday. 

It's another recipe from Jane's Patisserie - Millionaires Cookie Bars. They are like Millionaire Shortbread, except you use cookies instead of a shortbread base. It's very moreish! 


I also went out with a friend for an Afternoon Tea this week, and we had a lovely time. I just about remembered to take a photo before we polished off the yummy treats.


Unfortunately, it's back to work on Monday, but I have had a good week. 

Wishing you all a good week ahead.

  13. I would like to send you a warm greeting, dear D., because I haven't been online that much... just now.
    I immediately secured the recipe. It's the plank seduction :-))) I've already baked one of your cakes with great success - M&M Brownies.
    Thank you.
