Just to make everything that little bit more middle-England, Mr Boden sent us this baking book as a thank-you after a recent clothing splurge. The quote from Nigella Lawson on the front makes me want to stab my eyes with a fork a bit, but it's a really good biscuit baking book from the Biscuiteers, who make and sell special occasion gift biscuit baskets and cards. Their website is at www.biscuiteers.com.
Miss London and I haven't worked up to the really fancy designs yet, but our iced stars taste very nice indeed. If you already make a good biscuit the recipes are likely a bit basic for you, but it's very good for biscuit beginners and the basic recipe is a great one.

Ladies of negotiable affection.....that's really tickled me. I love your way with words. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe're a Boden family. Both boys are very tall and I find the clothes wear extremely well. How very nice of Johnnie to send you this book! I'm not a very experienced baker so this sounds ideal.

They look so yummy!! Save me a couple please?
ReplyDeleteThis is bad, bad, bad news. You have now planted the seed of an idea in my head either that:
ReplyDeletea) I obviously don't actually spend *that* much money in Boden as I have never received a biscuit book from them (therefore should spend more, guilt-free) ...
or
b) that spending money until such a book is received is a reasonable financial goal!
Tsk.
I like Boden too :)
ReplyDeleteI've had this book in my amazon basket for ages, I think I'm going to HAVE to purchase it now!

Heh. It wouldn't do to be mistaken for Mrs Palm.
ReplyDeleteThose biscuits look good.
Hello GreatShe - yes, I love Rosie Palm, not a look I want for my child though. They are good biscuits - not quite as aesthetically polished as the ones in the book, but they taste good!
ReplyDeleteHi Loveaudrey - I think you'd like it. If you were completely insane, you could make biscuits as wedding favours.
Hello Rachel. I am so so sorry. That's my kind of maths, too. Hence my husband does the household budgets.
Hi OC - one for you, one for Hiro. OK?
Hello MB - It's actually Terry Pratchett's turn of phrase :) It's a nice way to put it. Boden is very good for tall kids.
I was mightily depressed when my children grew out of Boden, they used to manufacture some fab, well I suppose you would call them anoracks, but fleece lined and fully water-proof, they were great. And I still have a plaid dressing gown from Boden which is as old as Ned ie 19 in the summer....ah happy memories, infact I remember when the Boden catalogue came out as a pamphlet and they used real people to model, there was a sweet child called Punch. Never got a book though :-( Jan x
ReplyDeleteHAHA Id like to read that Nigella quote!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Those look amazing! I'll take a dozen please =)
ReplyDeleteImo - it says 'These 'I Love You' inscribed cookies...they are just too darling.' YEUCK! :D
ReplyDeleteHey J - a dozen on the way ;)
Hi Jan - yes, that's the other good thing about Boden. Even my destructo-child can't ruin the stuff.
