Cooking Curse.

Goldfinch60



Why do I do it?

Why do I make them?

I know they taste wonderful,

And that is the problem,

As every time I pass the biscuit tin

I need to see if they are still okay.

They always are,

But need testing when I pass them.

I know I shouldn’t make them

But it cannot be helped,

They are so nice

That I must eat them.

They are also a curse

Because I keep eating them.

When will I ever stop making them,

Those wonderful digestive biscuits.

    It’s so nice to make your own biscuits ..I don’t make biscuits that much . if their low in sugar wouldn’t matter if you eat a few . )

  • Caring dove

    Probably so much nicer to eat homemade biscuits rather than from the shop

    • Goldfinch60

      They certainly are - that's the problem. LOL.

      Tasty! Yes - give them up for Lent! heehee.

      • Goldfinch60

        If I did that you would only send Fido to fetch them for you!

        • Eugene S.

          Faure was a nice touch. Don't eat too many biscuits!

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Eugene, Faure is always good to listen to, with or without biscuits.

            But how's your digestion, Andy?

            You obviously need Digestive Biscuit Anonymous: "My name is Andy and I haven't nibbled a digestive biscuit for at least...."

              I did go to DBA for a while but lost out to the biscuit passion.

                Sad on one level, but you gotta get pleasure where and when you can...Live dangerously, I reckon.

                Multitalented dear poet
                Share your recipe
                Well it would be better to taste to have you as a neighbour around
                Home made biscuits are simply on another level

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you spilleronsheet. I have shared them in the passed.

                  I make bread as well and my previous next door neighbours were struggling somewhat and I always gave them a loaf after cooking them on a Sunday morning.

                  See your email for the recipe.

                    Thank you so much dear Andy
                    Your neighbours are so lucky

                    When biscuits get the better of us. Candid, uncomplicated. Nice one.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you Garth, much appreciated.

                      I know where you are coming from. Back in the days of 2020 shielding I was getting free food boxes each week and found i was building up a supply of porridge oats. Once i became bored with porridge i sought other uses for them and found a recipe for oat biscuits made with golden syrup.... my oh my I couldn't stop making and devouring them over those shielding months until i realised I was over-indulging.
                      Now I have banned myself from creating these wonderful biscuits/cookies. Although recounting this tale is making me feel twitchy about it.
                      Beware Andy..... lest you become biscuit-bound.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        I know exactly how you feel d a, sometimes the things we eat in our lives take us to a place where we need to stay.

                        No driving while biscuit eating. 😁

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Wouldn't dream of doing that AP.

                          Ha ha Andy..... I make them for my nephew at college, eat about 6 of them, then wrap and send quickly as possible before I break into the package.......

                          • Goldfinch60

                            Yes I do make them for others as well but you know how it is Lorna, you must try them to see if they are up to standard.

                            yup, as a fellow foody
                            and intuitive enthusiast, in the kitchen
                            I too suffer from the successes
                            and failures of my culinary adventures
                            to this date, once I managed to stop myself
                            from cooking chocolate and lemon curd Soufflés
                            day after belt-lengthening, day;
                            I have never: dared
                            to cook another one...
                            yeah, being lucky enough to enjoy your own cooking
                            is a curse, few
                            are willing to admit or confront! lol
                            (another fun write
                            thanks for sharing, dear poet)

                            • Goldfinch60

                              Chocolate and lemon curd Soufflés eh Mek? I must try that one day.

                              Thank you for your words Mek.

                                be careful, if you get either right
                                its moresome multiplied by a hundred, lol
                                (but the grandkids will love
                                the theatre of the melting centre)
                                oh and a few tips,
                                I find cooking it in a water bath
                                (soufflé cup, placed in a baking tray
                                filled with a little bit of water
                                to create a steam effect
                                during cooking process);
                                and generously coating
                                the inside, sides of the cup
                                with sugar, before putting-in
                                the baking mixture
                                helps it to rise, I find..
                                good luck my foody buddy, lol

                                Amazing what you can do with digestive biscuits. Love dunking them in tea of coffee.

                                • Goldfinch60

                                  So true Paul,
