Very funny about your son.

I will have to substitute the almond flour for rice or oat flour, but I'll give these a go soon. You could even make lemon flavoured ones next time.<br />Ciao for now!Penehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055949280420755227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-91481891794912428142012-06-01T23:17:24.961+10:002012-06-01T23:17:24.961+10:00Thanks Mel - ricki suggests half maple and half ag...Thanks Mel - ricki suggests half maple and half agave but I didn't have agave and I love the flavour of honey.

I'm sad to hear that the Tofu Asada burrito didn't live up to your expectations, I adore them! Love the Sylvia antics, there is too much in there to pick out a favourite.

The tahini and linseeds particularly appeal and aren't things I would have thought to include in macaroons - but I can see how they would work brilliantly with the chocolate.<br /><br />I also loved, really loved, this latest update on Sylvia and her antics. I am particularly amused by her understanding of the work / shops / money system and her developing sense of time - not to mention your skills at trying on clothes with her between your legs!! Sounds like an adventure on a daily basis :-)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-60337201358784808942012-05-30T08:31:35.629+10:002012-05-30T08:31:35.629+10:00aww Sylvia is too adorable!
