This is short, sweet and delicious – Part two will be coming in a few days time, I promise, just keep that patience 😉
And I mean short. Honestly, you guys will be majorly surprised considering I have trouble stopping my typing 😉
For now, enjoy the first part of this massively awesome dessert to come!
As you all know, ANZAC Day is coming up to commemorate our brave soldiers who fought in the world wars. I promise there will be more on that in Part 2.
Hi everyone, I am hitting the books and trying to pass the last exams of year 11. Can you believe there will only be one more year of school left then? I am SO stoked 😀 😀
Anyway, a couple of months back, I asked for your guest posts during this period and I was lucky enough to get a huge response – thank you all so much!
I promise you will not miss me, in fact, you will groan when I come back, becase I have so many wonderful guestposts lined up for you all! I hope you discover some wonderful new bloggers who tantalise your tastebuds like they do mine! Enjoy mes amis!
Should you need to contact me, I am more than at service through my email: gobakeyourself@yahoo.com.au or just leave a message on my facebook page: Go Bake Yourself
Also a significant note, I lost over 60-70 followers through some freak wordpress issue so please, if you were one of them and you have recently visited again, resubscribe – thank you!
Now I leave you to it… 🙂
And it feels so good 😀 – I missed you all! I missed the foodie community, the commenting and checking out hundreds of wonderful delicious posts 🙂
All’s well that ends well? We’ll see…
I guess you want and deserve an explanation – let me tell you in a little series:
1. I went on holiday for a week – my school term finished, I needed a break so I had an awesome time chilling out (literally it was snowing!) in Tasmania 🙂
2. I actually have 3 weeks’ worth of exams starting in 1 1/2 weeks time so I have to study more than cook (*sigh*)
What kind of name is Snickerdoodle? Why is this traditional cookie called a Snickerdoodle? WHY? Where did it even come from? I cannot think of any link ‘snicker’ or ‘doodle’ has with a cinnamon-sugar rolled fluffy cake-cookie.
So I went to the one source I knew would give me answers – Wikipedia.
Here is what they had to say on Snickerdoodles:
Think back, think way back to when you were a kid – I am talking 7 or 8 years old. Weren’t parents so annoying?
“Drink your milk three times a day, eat your egg, eat your *shudder* soggy spinach and overcooked mushy peas!”
Oh, and in some classic Indian cases
“Have one more bowl of daal (lentils), eat more roti, you are a vegetarian AND therefore need more protein therefore let me overfeed you with beans and soya etc.”
Come to think of it, these are not way back memories for me at all, rather day to day occurrences. But let us get back to reminiscing… 😛
As a child, did you not want to fling down your spoon and retort back “I don’t wanna!”?
If you didn’t, either you were one very good child or had a tastebuds of steel or were just a little weird…
I ask you now? What did you ‘wanna’?
I know I wanna-ed (actually, this is not talking past tense):
As Christmas approaches, formal approaches and basically, everything points towards the end of another school year. While this is truly fantastic as by going into Year 11, I am finally given the opportunity to study what I want, rather than pointless topography maps in geography, this is also rather sad – my food tech classes finally come to an end, the monotony of study without a decent break in the middle of the week begins and my food blogging must be controlled (but definitely done :))
I feel a sense of loss at this change – it was expected so I don’t understand why it seems to hit so hard that it is over – I can only suppose it is because I shall never be taught by Ms D again, never bake or cook with friends in that atmosphere and never feel the pride in having a connoisseur smile and say the food you made tastes good – I will miss it all.
