Necessity is the mother of good baking

A little deprivation can be a marvellous thing.  The Girl was complaining about the lack of snacks in the house.  "You're hungry?"  I said.  "So. Bake something."  And she replied, much to my surprise (because my daughter, much as I love her, is the first to admit that she is lazy as all get-out), "OK, I will."

She found a cookery book, flicked through it and came up with a recipe for peanut butter cookies.  Which she proceeded to make.  And very tasty they are, too.


I must try starving her more often.
