Cookies

When we were children my mum Monica used to bake us cookies… now in those days in England we only had biscuits, those crispy flat circles of something yummy made from butter and flour and sugar, there weren’t cookies everywhere in the shops and cafés. Monica baked us cookies which I think are also called melting moments, so where she got the name from, or why she used it I don’t know. Maybe from her mum, Ida, or maybe from a recipe in a magazine? But she would bake us cookies; they were pale and slightly risen in the middle, covered with oat flakes and a glacé cherry on the top. They were so soft and melting and delicious  and even when they were a day or two old they were still delicious. In those days we had small portions of everything, so we would have one or maybe two cookies and then the lid was put other baking tin. These days people seem to work their way through packets of biscuits!

A friend and a WordPress friend mentioned that they had difficulty accessing my blog and suggested I contact the ‘happiness engineer’ to help solve the problem. I did so and it was suggested that I needed to clear my cookies… clear my cookies?? What? But of course this is a computer term; I use the computer all the time but I am so ignorant of how it all works, a bit like me driving all the time and really not understanding what goes on beneath the bonnet!

I followed the easy and helpful WordPress advice and cleared my cookies… I hope all will be well now, but please tell me if you have difficulty, I know what to do with old cookies now!

PS:  my featured picture is of Easter biscuits, not cookies… maybe I should make some cookies!!!
