Sometimes when my husband goes to work, he takes me. One of his client that I met is called Robbie. She is a very lovely lady 82 years old. She loves to cook and sometime when she has baked cakes or cookies she offers some to my husband after he has finished his job.
The day before yesterday, Robbie rang up and wanted my husband to solve her computer problem. She also asked him to take me to see her as well. Robbie is a nice person and also enjoys having parties and company to talk with at home.. She told my husband that “I sometime want to take Minnie shopping or have lunch in town with some other ladies for a few hours”.
This time when I was there at her house. Robbie lent me 9 recipe books for cookies, cakes and also food recipes. It was very kind of her to let me borrow them. Anyway, I decided to bake some cookies from one of the books. Let’s have a look at what I choose to do. Here are Coconut Peties Fours, Plum Coconut Slice and Ginger Coconut Slice.
