Best of 2010

Happy New Year!

I had a hard time deciding which recipes to put into this post. In the end I decided to go for things that I really loved but are fairly low-key. I have some of my more attention-grabbing cakes on my sidebar and  my recipes page details every recipe I've posted.

Blueberry Loaf with Lemon and Mint Syrup

Sponge Drops with Passionfruit Curd

Snickers Brownies

Little Pistachio and Orange Blossom Water Cakes

Churros

Brown Sugar Waffles

On Christmas morning, as I explained in my festive post, we had waffles for breakfast. These waffles were not any waffles. They were Joy the Baker's insanely delicious waffles with brown sugar (oh how I love thee), crispy Swiss bacon (oh my) and lots of maple syrup. 

We tried them a few days before and couldn't resist having them again for Christmas. This recipe is a winner. 

Before our waffle breakfast, we opened out presents. Arthur was incredibly careful as he neatly ripped the wrapping off his new ball-on-a-rope. I think the best part of Christmas for him was the wrapping paper. You should have seen the state of our living room once he'd shredded all of it.  

On boxing day we went for a sunny walk in the 50cm of snow that had fallen the previous days. It was up to Arthur's chest as he searched for his new toy and came bounding back with it.

(Edit: I've had a few troubles with this recipe recently. I'm working on a new one for you.)
