What Next?

Good question, well apart from working full time, trying to re-construct a crumbling house, building a mini-bakery, oh and having a few days off ill, nothing much. I'm trying to find a positive to the being ill part of my life and one thing occurs to me is that it has given me the opportunity to sit (or in my case lay) down and read some of the many books on baking that I seem to have acquired over the last few years, one a fairly recent acquisition is "Cookies, a fine selection of sweet treats"  and a fine selection there is too. The only downside to the book is that it is published by Murdoch Books, why did I buy it? All I can say in my defense is " I don't Know".  Anyway I have decided to start working my way through the recipes starting with "Pistachio and Cardamom Cookies" and will let you know how I get on, I have all the ingredients apart from the pistachio nuts, easily obtained. There will be pictures, you have been warned.
