Of course I have an Extremely High Opinion of myself. People say I have an Extremely High Opinion of myself, but they say it as if it were not the compliment that I know that it is. Take it away, blood orange caramel sauce.Īllow me to introduce myself to you. This one thinks very highly of itself indeed. You don't say.Sometimes a dessert, or in this case a dessert sauce, feels so confident of its awesomeness that I have to let it speak for itself. In place of love red raspberry jam I have filled these cookies with my luscious Spreadable Orange Caramel.Or for those of you who can’t decide and are sitting primly on the fence: make a mixture of hearts & circlesĪnd to thrill anybody who is also vetoing St Val, I've made a couple more deviations from traditional St Valentine’s trends:.If you don’t want to be overtly romantic or want to do away with love connotations completely: make them any shape you like - apart from hearts.If you’re feeling the love: cut out hearts.These cookies are perfect for a modern take on Any Day/ Valentine's Day baking. But wait, some of you with bare cupboards are big Val fans - right? But on the other hand some of you abhor it with a passion - right again?Īnd that’s where these Orange Caramel Linzer Cookies come in handy. I know that just because I have a pantry groaning with sweet stuff it doesn’t mean the rest of you do. Obviously, I'm always extremely grateful for any unexpected gifts that land in my lap though. um?įortunately, neither of us gets hung up on needing gifts or cards to feel loved. um… Are we doing Valentines Day this year. So for those two reasons alone, it's little wonder that a few days ago I was part a conversation that went like this:Ĭhris: So… err…. Move aside Valentine sweeties, we need to do cake-justice and polish it off. Especially when that cake has been made by my excessively kind, lovely and rather excited to be baking ‘ all-by-myself’, youngest child. In my eyes, there’s really no contest between shop bought confections or homemade cake. So when I started seeing all of the red-foiled heart-shaped edible gifts in the shops a few weeks back I began to feel a little shame-faced at the thought of buying yet more treats to add to our stash.Īlso, it was my birthday a few days ago and Milly made me a most delicious Mint Choc-Chip birthday cake ( like this one). It’s just that we haven’t yet got through the stash of sweet things gifted to us at Christmas.
My problem isn’t with Valentine’s Day itself. I’m almost reluctant to admit it, but this year I’ll be bypassing St. Love it or loath it, February 14 th is just days away.
