THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

Bought 2 light weight wool tops while we were away last weekend. I have been looking for these tops for several years but couldn’t find them.  They were in a small gift shop at Dunkeld. Being fine wool fabric makes them suited to most weather.
And yes, I bought a cook book.  All about cooking Duck. The book is produced by Great Ocean Road Duck breeders.  These are rather special ducks.  I buy mine from Aldi. 
Also bought one of those things that you put your key in .  Secure it near your front door, and tap in a code to release it.  We couldn’t work out how to work it and had to ask uTube for help.

We find you tube very helpful. That is a great idea Chookie.

This is the rolling pin I bought from e bay. You can buy different ones but I liked this one.

Very fancy!

When are you going to bake something to show us how it looks cookie?

[cookie1]

I used it with some shortbread this afternoon Judy. The imprint isn't very clear.  If you push too hard it rolls the shortbread out too flat. I will have a few more tries before I give up.

Maybe it would work better on the pastry on top of a pie cookie?

Wow Cookie that rolling pin is beautiful, biscuits might work , but roll out like a pasty sheet .

I'll certainly be trying lots of ways, thanks.

I like your new rolling pin Cookie,

[achookwoman]

Lovely Cookie.  Hope you can get it to work. How about soft pastry, then chill it.

I will give it a try next time we have pastry Chookie. I should have tried it last night when we had a lovely chicken pie. The pastry was beautiful.
