A Classic Scottish Shortbread

Well looking at the first pin today brings up a Classic Scottish shortbread - sounds yummy! I wonder what makes Scottish shortbread different from any other?
A Classic Scottish Shortbread | 31Daily.com

Here is the link to the website this pin takes you to - 31 Daily
Reading through the information there it seems that shortbread originated in Scotland, that will be why its classic 😁
The website shares a lot of interesting information, the recipe looks quite simple, with options of what to cook it in/on which is useful as I don't have the perfect tray, and you can print the recipe. I love when you can do this - so much easier.
#Well it  looks like 
I'm cooking again (won't let the dog have any, she still has cupcakes left). Just need to pick up some proper butter and I'll get started recreating this pin.

---------------------------------------------------------

Well, we really enjoyed cooking that, although there were some problems with the recipe (the temp was only written in degrees Fahrenheit and the measurements only in cups) after a few google searches we managed to get that sorted out.
The main problem we found was the cooking time. The pin suggests 70 - 85 mins which I thought was a bit long so kept a careful eye on mine cooking. At 45 mins I took it out as it looked done, but it was in fact slightly over and a bit crunchy around the edges. Luckily my sons didn't seem to mind in the slightest and it was all gobbled up 😃
We made a few rounds of different sizes in the oven - here is our picture of the largest one - looks very edible.



Going to check now and see what pin I will get this time - wonder if I'll be cooking again 😉😲

My Pinterest feed seems to be full of baby activities (and she hasn't been born yet), challenges and lots of time scheduling and unpractical things. But as I have been pinning a lot of photograph ideas for my son to do a photography project in our homeschool - this turned up this morning, and I hope it could be perfect (or it may not work at all) The pin to a Twitter account and there doesn't seem to be much info on exactly what it is, but I take it that this is a balloon bursting, filmed on a Go-Pro - Here is the twitter feed  link . Well as we have a go pro, I cant see how this could possibly go wrong! 😮 Once the stormy weather clears up we will head out to give it a go - wish us luck -------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, that has to be the most fun we have had doing the first pin yet. Our main aim was to capture a ball of water - and w...

Well, this is just perfect - today my first pin brings up non-alcoholic cocktails 😃. With the weather being hot and me being pregnant -I could really use one right now - lol - but I need to shop first. Here is the pin --   And the link - 10 non - alcoholic cocktails Looking through the recipes on this nicely put together website, one imparticular jumps out at me as a drink both me and my son would enjoy - and that is cocktail number 2 -'Sparkling strawberry lemonade' - which contains lemonade, ginger ale, and strawberries - all of which are firm favorites in this household. I do need to buy some strawberries first though 😀. I will be back to tell you how  it goes ----------------------------------------------------- And here it is - a picture of our mocktail - Looks lovely and tasted lovely too! Did feel a bit like the strawberries could have colored the water a bit more pinky - but that's just being fussy. Will definitely ...
