It's a German christmas cakes called stollen and it took my husband and I two days to make because the recipe was huge! We enjoyed it and we think our friends that received it did too. I did think of you and your toffee habit a couple of weeks ago, though, when my Mum brought me some Thorntons toffee from London. You'd just written your post about it and I meant to post a pic...but sadly...the toffee did not last long enough!
For various reasons I've lived in 5 countries and travelled in quite a few in between. As such, most of my life is about exploring new ideas, discovering wonderful things and people, and food!I live in New Zealand, one of the most beautiful places on the planet, but my spiritual home is in Asia. This blog is simply my general ramblings to entertain my good friends, family, and myself. I am always happy to receive comments.
Enjoying my new space! See recent post for address.

Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm partly reading this because I feel like I should for some reason and partly because she's coming to the Auckland Reader's and Writer's Festival, which I'm getting involved in this year. But, I have to say I'm having a hard time getting in to it. Some parts are good and some parts are excruciating. I don't think I was the target audience.

Is that fudge or toffee uner that red ribbon? The holidays always mean lots of sweet goodies for me. Happy New Year to you!

Oh I'm familiar with stollen and I'd never attempt to bake it! Seems like to much work. What! You ate the Thornton's that fast! I thought I was bad..
Wait a minute FG! I should clarify that my husband ate MOST of it! I'm TOTALLY innocent!
