Poached Egg and Toast

This has nothing to do with cooking for anyone other than me. If the lady had been awake, she would have turned her nose up at this breakfast. However, there is just something wonderful about a perfectly poached egg, a slice of toast and a cup of tea.

Rose Shortbread Cookies

Generally, I find the addition of a little bit of rosewater or orange-blossom water adds a nice complexity to baked goods. In fact, it is a neat little trick. However, this recipe is not about adding subtle complexity to a recipe, this recipe is about putting rosewater at the forefront. It took a long time to develop, but the result is a vanilla cookie with great texture that you want to smell as much as you want to eat. This particular batch is headed to Grandma Kate's cookie exchange tomorrow.
