Hi Amelia-I've been so busy, and have not made my rounds of commenting since before Easter. I am so sorry that you sprained your ankle...coincidentally, I sprained mine almost exactly a year ago, and had to wear a brace, and use a walker. Hope yours isn't as bad as that. Just be very careful, and don't put pressure on that foot if you can help it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet mention about me,and the things I sent you. Your rolls look absolutely amazing. They turned out so perfect, rosy color...love the cute faces on them...you love the animation, shows up in your cute drawings. I'm glad you are able to use the HERSHEY'S cocoa powder...very, creative, and delicious rolls.
Glad to see that you passed the awards forward. Thank you once again for sending me all the amazing products. I keep forgetting to tell you how much I love the hazelnut flavored coffee powder. I drink it hot, or iced, in the afternoon for a refreshing cool drink. The other products are still waiting for me to use it ie: the custard powder, I will want to make the cream puffs to fill it with!
Take care of your ankle, my dear friend!
xoxo
Hi Elisabeth, thank you for your concern and kind words. My fall was not that bad cos I can still walked except for the miserable pain. But I'm ok now, very minimal pain when walking. Will be very careful in future cos I might not be so lucky every time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliments. Yes, the bread taste really good with the combo of cocoa powder, coffee plus the oreo. The Hershey taste good too, no other brand can compare with Hershey. :)
Glad that you enjoy the hazelnut coffee, my favorite too especially with iced.
Despite being very busy you still jump queue to drop me a long comment, thanks again my dear. Really appreciate it. You take care too.
Have a nice day. Regards
