My Name and a Chocolate Dipped Madeleines
When I started this blog in the middle of 2007, I would have never in a million years thought that I would really get into this blogging madness ;-).
Here my family and I too thought this was one of those crazy things I do, start something and then give it up in few weeks or even maybe afterr couple of months.
I was surprised myself when the blog turn 1.
Now after couple of years I think it is time that I wrote here my real name.
The only reason I took Happy Cook was because I am really happy when i am baking or making something special in my kitchen and also as I mentioned before I didn't thik this would last so long.
So now I do think I should share my real name with all my friends and readers.
I would post still in Happy Cook as huby and daughter think Happy Cook is such a catchy name ;-).
So here it is My Name it's Finla, some of my friends here know my name, but lot of you don't know.
So now you know why the friends who knows me write F in their comments.
Now to the baking
I think Madeleines are really yummy with a cup of tea/coffee.
I had made them before, used the same recipe .
This time I coated them with chocolate.
For the chocolate covering, melt some chocolate with 2 tbsp butter and dipp them. Leave them to dry and enjoy these madeleines with a cup of Tea like we do here at home.
However u r always HC for me:) glad to know ur name HC;)..Chocolate dipped madeleines looks elegant and pretty...my daugther's fav..
