Thanks to DiBer

and her blogs here and here:

I made digestive biscuits. Yum. Not quite McVittie's, but still, yum!

Hint--they need salt, it doesn't call for any in the recipe. I added about 1/2 tsp., but they needs a little more. And I brushed them with melted Baker's chocolate.

And read this.

More on that later after I recover my mental equilibrium. If you're a scholar and/or a parent, and have ever tried to combine (or even thought about combining) the two activities, read it. It's phenomenal.

Thanks, pal!

Raising Daughters

Sometimes, looking ahead across the long years of how difficult a girl's childhood and adolescence can be, it terrifies me to have a daughter. I know boys have troubles, too, but girls still just seem so complicated.

Here is a lovely post that really encouraged me.

Thankfully many of these challenges are still a long way off.
