I'm aching all over.....

          I spoke too soon.....  I said that I felt good after my gym session,  now my body is aching all over!!!  I walk like a robot as every step I take causes  my legs to ache.... Every move I make with my hands hurts my shoulder & upper body... and when I cough & sneeze, my stomach hurts.... ouch!!!  On top of that, I'm also coming down with flu....(:

          I made these Coconut Cheese Fingers for Hari Raya. I used the recipe by Rozita Abdul Kader which I took from her book Keistimewaan Biskut. One word to describe this cookie is 'mild'! It is mildly sweet & has mild cheese & coconut flavour. So if you like your cookies that way,  you'll like this recipe....... Try it!
