It's great that you mention that song "The band played Waltzing Matilda" for it's also a favourite of mine.<BR/>There are many Dutch people on blogpost, for instance JoAnn, my daughter Thymeline, Dirk from Texel. You can find them with the memes That's My World, ABC Wednesday, Sky Watch and Camera Critters. Thank you for sharing your lovely recipes with us.

I hope you enjoyed your potato casserole and Anzac cookies - and that they turned out well. I will try your bread this weekend - too busy at work during the week, I can only knit in the evenings to chillax! <BR/><BR/>LINDA - that's a nice idea about the cups, I will try it, makes sense. also shapes - I could try putting dollops of mix on the tray.

Over here, we can get corn syrup in light and dark (dark like for making pecan pie); can you do the same with golden syrup? <BR/><BR/>These cookies look smashing; in fact, I do believe I'm going to make some THIS MINUTE for supper. So far, I've got potato casserole and Anzac cookies planned ... that sounds nicely balanced, don't you think?? kristinThe Cherry Tree Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561834372312713466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-18465897929510096262009-02-11T22:27:00.000+00:002009-02-11T22:27:00.000+00:00WALDVIERTELLEBEN - glad you like the blog and the ...WALDVIERTELLEBEN - glad you like the blog and the cookies, I wonder what your blog name translates as in English! something about wood and life? Keep in touch anyway, lovely to have visitors from all over the world! <BR/><BR/>JEANETTE- They are easy cookies and Linda's recipe is much the same, I haven't compared the quantities yet as I am not used to cup measures. As for Golden Syrup and corn syrup- check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_syrup - this link says they can be substituted for each other. So hope you agree! I don't know what corn syrup is like so I am relying on wikipedia! Another cross-cultural dilemma resolved - we are an example of international diplomacy! <BR/><BR/>TILLY glad you like the images, there is a bit of a mixed bag there but the cuppa tea and cakes/cookies are always a lifesaver!

I just need to check the comparisons for quantity equivalents. I have an Aussie cookbook from my Lao days, called Lunching with Style-food for thought and palate. It is a gov. pub. done as a style manual for authors, editors and printers in conjunction with a lunchtime series of presentations with lunches prepared by one Claudia Hyles - and signed by her (1994). May mean something to you - it is an eclectic book and I love it!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-19843025496347335312009-02-11T19:57:00.000+00:002009-02-11T19:57:00.000+00:00hi catherine,found your blog through another link ...hi catherine,<BR/>found your blog through another link and tried out your madeira cake [the lemon one] today.it turned out lovely and light as you said,even though i have a fan oven,suffice to say one disappeared before it cooled down!thanks for a lovely easy recipe and the fact i get two cakes for the one bit of trouble!looking forward to more, kathleen cork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-76944003332586323332009-02-11T19:17:00.000+00:002009-02-11T19:17:00.000+00:00yeahone of these blogs i leave with putting on wei...yeah<BR/>one of these blogs i leave with putting on weight<BR/>thanks for this pictures<BR/>i came with waldviertelleben<BR/>and i will be back soon :)))<BR/>send you my best wishes <BR/>birgitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-80783315602360228322009-02-11T18:55:00.000+00:002009-02-11T18:55:00.000+00:00What a simple yet lovely recipe - they're alwa...What a simple yet lovely recipe - they're always the best ! I, too, have heard of Anzac Cookies and Anzac day but have never tried them.
