I hope you do make these. I like making them because they can be made in advance and they keep well. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas too xx

I’ve taken down this recipe (florentines have long been my favourite cafe treat!) and will I definitely make them for Christmas – in fact, I reckon they will become a Christmas treat tradition for my family. Thanks, and Merry Christmas xx

I guess these will keep in theory. Not sure how long they’ll last in my house in practice, though.

I can taste it thinking about it.

I wish there was still a bit of your story around now.

I’ve come pretty close to slicing myself but thank goodness no I haven’t.

Carl took most of them to work with him this morning and they were devoured before morning tea and the teenagers took care of the rest. I don’t know why I don’t cook in bulk! Love the sound of that fresh warm bread slathered in butter – I’ll trade you a florentine for a bit of that bread???

Life was so much simple years ago – sometimes wish they were still that way. Lovely florentines. Shan’t be making those too often, my waistline can’t afford it!

We didn’t feel like we were missing out either. Knife incidents send chills down my back. Thank heavens all I’ve ever had is the odd knick from a knife when not paying attention and nothing more!

Clearly I missed out! 😛 Although I have to say that I wish the petrol station had someone to pump the petrol.
