Me learning to cook & the Visa commercial
So I only started to cook about a year ago. It has been fun, I seem to have a good instinct for these things. The best story, however, comes from last Christmas. I wanted to revive the Norwegian tradition of making 7 different kinds of cookies for the holidays. I found one recipe that looked really good, but I had to order one ingredient from Amazon.com. Bakers Ammonia is hard to find, and stupid expensive when you can find it. So, there I am making these Norwegian almond cookies and rolling the dough into little balls and sticking them in the freezer and my husband had a childhood flashback: he remembered those little dough balls in the freezer. So after they had frozen, and I cooked them, yep, they were exactly what my husband remembered from his childhood. A recipe that they thought they had lost with their Grandma, and I had pulled it off of the Internet. Who would have freaking guessed? It was better than a visa commercial, cause I had made the cookies-and they were perfect. We sent goodie boxes to all of his family for Christmas. For me, the best thing ever was giving them a little of their past as a Christmas gift. I hope to do it again this year, I have another recipe I need to try. :D

THAT is beautiful, and kind of makes the sting of the bakers ammonia go away a little?
ReplyDeleteYep, it sure did.
