Happy weekend Lovelies,
I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather and not being a cry baby like me wishing our winter would last a bit longer. While I am not quite ready to embrace hot weather just yet, I am rejoicing in our newly acquired freedom to venture out and about as of today! The first thing I want to do is sneak away and go and sit in one of my favourite cafes in town all by myself with my journal. Bliss.
Anzac Day is a day of remembrance on the Australian calendar. April 25th marks the anniversary of the pre dawn landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey during World War One. Sadly, the campaign was a failure with horrendous loss of life on both sides. It was here, however, on this treacherous battlefield, where the spirit of the Aussie Digger was born. Tales of endurance, camaraderie, self sacrifice, courage, humour and mateship emerged among the soldiers, creating a strong national identity back home in our fledgling country.
This has been my standard biscuit recipe for years. These are the perfect comfort food.
I learned a long time ago that there are a few essential ingredients needed to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie. You must include an egg, a hefty dose of peanut butter and a lot of good quality dark chocolate. No skimping !!
