Mosaic Biscuits

Hallo all!

 So I am still in the mind set of I can make food into a wonderful, awe inspiring shape after watching lots of Vi Hart. So, about last week, I decided to have a go making Mosaics out of - biscuits.

 So I set to work, making the dough nice and thick and roll-able (mine is usually the kind that needs to be spooned out onto the tray) then got my round shaped cookie cutter, a knife, and then set to work.

 It took me a good half an hour or so to have them finished off nicely to be cooked, and I had gotten rather frustrated several times, but I (and the dough :P) survived.

Here are some pictures of them:

I loved the flower patterns! ^-^

I just had to make myself a Snail shaped biscuit. Who doesn't love snails?

And some more plaits.

 Well, I'd a better be going. Got some thing else to blog on, and then -taa daa! I'll have done what I wanted to do today and I can have dinner and go to bed.

 Hmm... I wonder what Dinner is?

Meat Tau

Hallo hallo!

 Well, I'm back! I'm going to try to post on here more often. I just realized there are about fifteen posts on here, and fifty four on my Blog of poems.

 On Saturday morning I made a lovely Tau - although most people would call it a Pie (or Pi). However, I call it tau because pi needs to be multiplied by two to make it a whole, while tau is just a whole. So that would mean a pie is actually half a Tau. Understand?

 I made some pastry on Friday (500 grams of flour, 250 grams of butter, and some salt and about a cup of water), and then on Saturday morning I put the oven to about 200 and then started browning the mince. I added some stock to the mince, then put in the carrot and potato that I'd diced into it.

 I halved the pastry and rolled out one to fit the tray. I rolled out the other half and cut a bit off to make the Tau sign.
 When the filling was ready I scooped it into the tray and ate what couldn't fit for breakfast. I put on the top of the Tau and added the Tau sign, then popped it in the oven whilst I got ready to leave for my circus class. When I had finished getting ready I turned off the heat and left the Tau in the oven.

 When I got home it was perfect, and I had a piece of it. It was so good cold, I don't want to have it warmed up!!

 Well, it was soon gone come Sunday evening. Here's the pictures of it:

Let me know if you make a Tau! (Or a Pi!!)
