Chocolate swirl shortbread seems to be a success - hoorah! I have now decided however that, at anything less than maximum temperature, our oven doesn’t like to cook things unless they’re on the very top shelf :/

About time I posted another update I think, and what better time to do it than the day after my 26th birthday?
Being 26 feels a lot more significant than any other birthday I can remember having for the simple reason that it’s the first time I’ve been closer to 30 than I am to 20, and that’s scary! 30’s that age for women when mothers start commenting on the biological clock (tick tock, tick tock!). It’s when Bridget Jones decided that enough was enough and it was time to take stock of things. Thankfully, I’m doing somewhat better than Bridget - I have a lovely boyfriend But even so, being closer to 30 than to the much more laid back (and younger) 20 has been a bit of a shock to the system!

Anyways, putting all that aside, I did have a very nice birthday involving a trip to the new Vue cinema in Exeter that beats the Odeon hands down, and this evening I am off for a meal with some friends I am making chocolate swirl shortbread this afternoon - or attempting to - from the Green and Black’s Chocolate Recipe Book that I got for xmas - the ‘dough’ is in the fridge at the moment so hopefully the rest of the mission will go ok after my cup of tea.
