New 'drawers'. As pretty as Easter eggs in a basket... 
And homemade peppermint patties (got the fab recipe here). Though I messed up the "patty" part. They looked more like bon-bons. That did not stop boy child from inhaling them and asking for more. XOXO

Those look great. Well, they look like poo cakes, in truth, but great tasting ones.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the recipe and have one narky comment - I couldn't work out what it had to do with Irishness, til I read the 'Happy St Patty's day at the end. You know no one calls it that. We say Paddy's Day, and Americans mispronounce the d as t. The idea of 'St Patty' is just disturbing. Rant over! Beam*
Can you have macaroons too? Or is egg out? I heart them.
um...thanks?
ReplyDeleteI think the Patty part is an honest mistake, though I'm not positive she said it tongue-in-cheek due to the patty part of peppermint patty. I think a lot of folks assume Patrick shortened equals Patty. Makes sense if you're not in the know.
But I am in the know since my 'brother' is actually names Paddy. Spelled such.
Egg is fine. I don't particularly like shredded coconut thought. It's a texture thing.

not positive she DIDN'T say it tongue in cheek...
ReplyDeletelike shredded coconut THOUGH...
those are what i meant. (o_O)
Ah, well, they look great either way. I'm just using her as a Patty scapegoat. I do like the shredded coconut thing though, little bits to nibble later...
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean to offend with that poo cake comment, sorry! Mouth-brain connection. Tbh, I think we're always in a danger zone with anything chocolatey. I know someone who broke up with a guy because he said chocolate cupcakes looked like poo. That cracks me up.
Poo cakes were on my mind because a friend told me the other day she'd made them on purpose for her son's party - horrified all the mothers, but the little boys LOVED them.
