Here are a few of the new pieces I made for my shop update today. A few bags, shoes and two new additions to the 'min' family- a cat and a bear. I decided to name them the 'Min' family after Keira's cat Norris Min.
I found this tin of condensed milk in the Asian food store a while ago. It was exciting, because I hadn't previously seen this wicked sweet stuff here in Norway. I'd never heard of 'longevity brand' before, but it makes me laugh. Do you think I will have better health through eating more condensed milk? I certainly hope so, but I have my doubts.
And this is what I made using Longevity condensed milk. 'Nana Joan's Walnut Slice' from Issue #2 of the World Sweet World zine. Funnily enough, I actually had a Nana Joan when I was growing up, and this is exactly the kind of baking she used to do. Super sweet and moreish, Kiwi-style. Chopped walnuts featured heavily in her repertoire. I'm glad I discovered Longevity here, because my parents are coming to visit tomorrow (!) and my dad is condensed milk's biggest fan. I'm looking forward to making this for him.
