Instead of baking the traditional King's Bread, for today's celebration, I decided to make sugar cookies, using the camel cookie cutter I purchased last year.
To make my baking even sweeter, I used my mother's rolling pin. You may remember me writing about My Mother, who died about a year ago. If she had lived, tomorrow she would have been 91 years old.
The camels were not as easy as I thought they would be...as you can see, some of the legs are longer.
Misshapen cookies still taste good !

Hi Meggie, your camels turned out great. Happy new year blessings for a wonderful 2014. Heather
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather...It has been quite a while since I made cut-out cookies. I think I need to practice with some easier cookie cutters...but, as I said in the post, they still tasted good!
DeleteWonderful camels! I ought to start with a tradition like that, too, because here in Finland we don't much celebrate the 12 of X-mas. Last year in Gran Canaria we took part in a celebration in a small town. Three wise men sat on a open lorry and threw candies to village people following them around and dancing. Happy New Year, Meggie, and thank you for your warming and lovely messages!
ReplyDeleteHello, Maarit....I hope my blogging friends will check out your blog. I find it very interesting reading about your life in Turku, Finland. There is so much to learn about your life there...thanks for your lovely comments.
Deletesweet post, I have kitchen utensils from my Grandmother passed down to me from my Mom, plus my Mom's rolling pin-you were quite lucky to have had your Mother so long, 90 years that is really something. Happy 2014 wishes to you and your family...

ReplyDeleteLong legs are tricky to cut! I think your camels look great. Jx
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute and who cares anyway what they look like when they taste delicious!
ReplyDeleteUsing your moms rolling pin for them must make them even sweeter.
