Today I have been mostly...

Embracing my heritage.

And when I say embracing my heritage, I really mean prancing about the kitchen listening to Belle and Sebastian and making shortbread.

For some reason I have a compulsion to break out the jam everytime I make pastry... So there were a few inevitable cherry jam shortbreads thrown in the good measure.

The white glaze you see is a mixture of icing sugar, milk and vanilla essence and I actually like that even more than the shortbread...

I've also been feeling especially narcisistic, so there are more photos than may well be necassary, but if you're going to be as self indulgent as I am with my constant baking and blogging, you may as well do it properly.
