these days.

But I just wanted to show
these new stamps
I bought
can't wait to use them for my packaging!

Magic baking pearls

a few days ago,
artmind
surprised me
with her magic baking pearls!


the picture
above
proves it

(baking pearls can be used for blind baking. When you use puff pastry for a pie, it's best to pre-bake the dough beforehand. You just place a baking sheet on top of the pastry and then add weight to it.)

these pearls are very usefull!
but I realise
I forgot the baking sheet! :-)

A pie a week

mmmmm,
I really love this pie,
and what's more,
my kids too,
and that is the most important,
because
believe me,
cooking for (my)kids
is not easy!
