    #vlogmasday7
    The Jam Drop Recipe:
    - 275g plain flour
    - 125g caster sugar
    - 200g vegan butter (chilled)
    - Jam of your choice
    In a bowl, combine your flour and sugar, then add in your vegan butter and using your fingers, rub the butter in until you're left with a combined dough.
    Split the dough into twelve to fifteen equal pieces (depending on how big you'd like them to be. Roll each piece into a neat ball and place onto a lined baking tray - I'd recommend spreading out as much as possible, maybe max 6 cookies per tray, to allow them room to spread.
    Using your thumb, make a small well in the centre of each cookie ball, then add around a teaspoon of jam to each cookie.
    Place in the oven (at 200 degrees Celsius) for around 15 minutes, until golden and then remove from the oven, allowing to cool on the tray before moving.
    Make sure they're fully cooled before eating (jam gets very hot) - and then enjoy!

    Your vlogmas is just my favorite thing right now! I’m reminded to slow down and enjoy the days leading up to Christmas. I loved Queen’s Gambit too and definitely want to read the book now. Also caught a glimpse of Miranda on your television. Haha! Love her. Such fun!

    These tea reviews are so helpful - I'm planning to order from Bird and Blend for the first time since I've never found them here in Australia, and I wouldn't have a clue where to start without these daily reviews! Also, OBSESSED with the elephant mug!!

    What a great way to use all of the jams you have been collecting this month! I gave somebody a tea advent calendar this year and now I am so regretting not buying myself one! Your vlogs are very fun. I’m a new subscriber over from Morgan’s channel. I loved The Queens Gambit show on Netflix so you may have convinced me to read the book as well!

    • @ciarascorner

    I‘m not quite sure if that‘s the answer to your bonne maman question, but they have a new line (at least in Germany) called „less sugar, more fruit“ and if I recall right the lids are pink. But the packaging and glasses look different, too, so I don‘t know if yours are from that line.

    Lebkuchen both Aldi and Tesco have vegan by ingredient dark choc ones this year. I have found it is consistently easier to get the Tesco ones. They're the hearts with the jam in the middle. :)

      Definitely need to try the Tesco one - I think I’ve just been really unlucky with going when they’re sold out😂

      @@ciarascorner The Aldi ones are great but they come in a mixed box, so all the dark choc ones sell out but they won't reorder until the milk choc sell too. 😞
      Good luck with the Tesco ones. 🤞🏻

    15:25 same here when I first heard the plot of the book I wasn't super excited to read it or anything but there's just something about it that draws me into the story and I couldn't stop reading it,and it is the first time this has ever happened with me.
    ** *SPOILERS* **
    But honestly not gonna lie I was super disappointed by the projection of emotional attachment that lacked in Beth for Mrs Shaibel when she didn't even asked about how he was doing when she called Methuen after so many years of no communication.And furthermore how she said in her inner monologue "she doesn't feel any grief" when he died.
    Maybe that's just my personal preference in charecters and I didn't like her because of how unlikeable character she was.
    But also the fact that this book completely ignored the assault that happened to Beth ,when Jolene sexually abuses Beth despite Beth telling her to "stop", and then Jolene cruelly retaliates against.And how they still continue to be friends when they meet again in the future and acted like it never happened. And the series definitely left out this part so that we empathize with her(Jolene's) carecter more.

    Chai and 🍌 🍞 😋‼️ Those jams sound so delicious‼️ I love 🍓 jam‼️Snacks 😋‼️ Holiday pjs so cute‼️ Peppermint ☕️‼️ 🍫 🦌😋‼️ When said it’s a new Dawn, it’s new day, I immediately thought about that song Feeling Good by Anthony Newly! I like salted Carmel especially with chocolate! 😲 you’re baking jam cookies 😋‼️ I think they look so delicious! Gingerbread treat 😋 sounds perfect‼️
    Ps: I’m almost done with Mind The Gap Dash and Lilly it’s very cute and atmospheric especially with this grayish weather we have in San Antonio TX. I still have a long way to in Little Women and Harry Potter but I’m getting there! Last but not least 42 chapters and 233 pages to go in The Royal Governess!

      I didn’t think mentioning that a book about playing chess ends with playing chess counts as a spoiler! If you read you’ll see that nothing I mentioned impacts the plot!
