Google buns

I was just reading from The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton -- well, some hours ago, obviously, as it was Beatrice's bedtime story. I kept thinking about the Google Buns and thought it would be fun to try to make some. The food in this story, about four children who climb up the aforementioned tree where different lands float by -- you get to them by climbing an ladder that rises up through a hole in a cloud and presto! you're in the Land of Sweets, or the Land of Topsy Turvy or the Land of Dreams.

And yes, it did make me hungry to read about Google buns, so I had to eat a handful of chocolate chipped, nicked from the freezer while I read my Collection Development textbook. The kids thought it was cool and unusual that I had homework like them when I first went back to school (yes, library school at UWO!) but now they have come to dislike it. I was monopolizing the Oxford English Reference dictionary today -- just when Beatrice needed it. Nasty mother. But she did smile when I returned it promptly. No quips today about late fines.
