Whit biscuits and a mackerel sky


There was only one consolation for a cold grey Whit Monday,
heralded by this corrugated sky last night,



make and eat
a large number of biscuits.


O's pistachio macaroons from Nigella Lawson's Domestic Goddess.
(Don't be deceived; the sunshine on this plate was only
a teasing glimmer).


Lemon and cumin biscuits from The African Kitchen
by Josie Stow and Jan Baldwin via Sarah Raven.

Then put the heating back on just for a little while 
and watch Springwatch

  1. Your macaroons look wonderful.... said longingly by someone on a low-carb diet..... and on such a pretty plate.

  2. Oh my goodness, such delectable looking goodies! I will have to try them, if I can find the recipes.
    That sky is equally wonderful. We don't get those very often here.
