Helping out a daughter with #bicciepalooza tonight #baking
I hate to say it, but we had Barbie burgers from Grill’d tonight and they were actually pretty good (mine without the pink mayo).
Assembling these shelves inside a cupboard was possibly my greatest moment (and dumbest idea).

Actually tastes like candy canes!

I don’t choose to eat Candy canes, but it tastes like them.

Yeah nah.

Trying some new flavours from my #Billsons #AdventCalendar tonight.

We have a duplicate in the mix! HABA make some calendars with little wooden animals. We bought two copies of “in the bear cave” (Weihnachten in der Bärenhöhle) so we can play Animal Upon Animal with new pieces. Here’s my little friend from day 1.
Ugh

More baking tonight with German Christmas stars (Zimtsterne) so smol and so yum. And so very many!!!

Tomorrow’s goal is Vanillekipferl with vanilla & hazelnut - daughter 1 will make these while I’m at work, maybe stained glass window biscuits, & brandy balls (daughter 2 can assemble in front of the telly). Then fancy schmancy shortbreads & maybe some other cinnamon biccies & this first batch will be done.

These are to go to hospital with D1 on Thursday.

To renew my parking permit in the Glorious People's Republic of Merri-bek, I need to upload a photo of both sides of my driver's licence (or various other docs). But I can only upload one file, so it must be a Special Photo of both sides of my driver's licence.

I'm too lazy to edit images - I used the 'additional docs' field.

Bloody buggering hell. That’s a carpet beetle on that 5c piece, isn’t it (blurry shot at 15x magnification).
