..and Sunday went.
Clockwise from top: homemade cantucci (though mine didn’t look as pretty as Linda’s, somehow they were not as “holey” as hers but still delicious and I was happy the recipe had no butter! I think I didn’t read the recipe properly and did not knead thoroughly. I’m always afraid of overworking biscuit doughs), hot vanilla latte for him and ice vanilla latte for me! Finally pulled out my stovetop espresso and used the vanilla syrup from the Blogging by Mail event. Since I’m over the first trimester, I’ve pounced back on the caffeine with a vengeance. Well, just about 2 espresso shots a week. Which I think is fair. Right..
I really really miss “on my table” shots. I watched an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations which was on Greece and they had a series of gorgeous table shots throughout the show. What I like best about the shots is it involves no food styling, its really what’s on the table. Anyway I got my cork flower coasters from Mustafa for a few cents each. I’ve not been there for ages. And aren’t you shocked Mustafa has an ONLINE store?? And who decided to call it “Mustafa Online” is a genius. What creativity.
This week I’ll be stuck at home writing a thousand plus word article for a magazine, did I ever tell you that whenever I volunteer for something I always feel some regret whenever I actually have to work to get it done. Things always sound like such a GOOD idea initially. Now, its like hmm.. a thousand words.. on healthcare and burgeoning costs.. I really really just feel like blogging. And sleeping early. After a good rub of tummy butter. (Now you know what I’m doing when I don’t reply to sms, my phone always seems off..) At least when I blog, I know someone is reading.. erm. Right..?
Always so nice to see one of my recipes
Sorry it didn’t turn out quite like you imagined. I don’t think you’ll overwork the dough quickly. I never really think about it when I make it and it always turns out the same. So my advice would be, not too short, not too long 
Good luck on the article!
Thanks Linda! It sure was tasty though, I really loved it.
Oh I was so glad to read that I’m not the only one who didn’t let pregnancy (nor breastfeeding) curb my caffeine cravings :p But u stayed off in the 1st tri? Good girl!
It was hard but I tried.. At least I did cut it down to one cup of coffee per week and tried to have it decaf, which really sucks by the way, its like watered down coffee.
