Had to pull something out of a hat for poor old neglected Tenina.com, and I had been looking at lots of pics on Pinterest, my new main source of pic Pinspiration!! I have to admit, it can be a big time waste, but my excuse is that I get great ideas…I am not so much a ‘read a recipe’ kind of girl…more a ‘look at a picture’, or ‘read a menu’ and think; I can do that! Saturday loomed dark, rainy and a sort of stay at home and bake sort of day. So this is what showed up…it makes a truckload and we had to send some off to hungry friends. I’m afraid the blog is taking a battering at the moment and not in a deep fried recipe way! (Soz…couldnt help it!) Between grand daughter number one (OH HOW GORGEOUS IS SHE??) and Thai Thai Again cooking classes and well, life. I guess it happens right? Life is always better with a pretzel though!
