...or not.
WAAAAAAAY back in December (I know, I know, the slackest blogger ever!!) Collette and myself had to find a new way to entertain ourselves on Tuesday nights (Since rafters was not on anymore...and Elle was away on her big adventure so we could not play with her....). Seeing as how it was nearing Christmas, Collette wanted to make something Christmassy for the people she visit teaches. One tuesday night, we attempted to make shortbread from scratch. We figured it wouldn't be too hard. We found a recipe on the net and proceeded to muck it up from step one by putting the wrong ingredients together (there were only four steps and we failed at step one), which resulted in me in hysterics and slouched on the floor of my kitchen as I could not stand for the intense laughter. We went on to continue with the shortbread creations...skipping possibly the crucial step of letting cool down in the fridge before baking....
We ended up with something that resembled shortbread, tasted like shortbread, but was a tad browner around the edges than it should have been. Not bad for a first effort really (especially considering the cooks were Collette and myself!!)
Top L: Apparently I do not own a rolling pin - so we used a cup.
Top R: ...which resulted in the shortbread mixture sticking to the cup...
Bottom L: One of the better looking christmas trees
Bottom R: All packaged up and ready to go.
