Happy New Year

Those guys came to us from Japan last October - a gift from Friends. The two ones were too cute to eat them so they lasted for quite a while. The cookies are gone, though.

Happy New Year! May it be Bobo good and peaceful.

The cold weather front and all the Christmas goodies which have already been being sold in stores are making me think about the holiday itself. I am ready for all the cooking and baking, however I am not sure what I will make - ah, and now they are playing a piece from the Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky and talking about it on the radio - quite a coinsidence. :)
Perhaps I will try a candy cane cookies recipe a few days before Christmas, soon it will be time to make some ginger bread cookies too. Anyway, it would be nice to know what other guys are planning to bake and cook for Christmas..

Before I start experimenting with candy cane cookies recipes - here is something else to enjoy: oatmeal peanut butter cookies

October - National Cookie Month

This post is to mark the cookie month. The cookies in the picture are only a sample of different kinds we have had within October. Maybe they do not look impressive but they were tasty. The duckies can say something about it too. :)

Greener grass and cookies

'He knoweth the way that

I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.'

-Job 23:10

Some people are feeling most often unhappy or at least not content. The only thing that makes themselves feel better is when they learn someone else is possibly unlucky or unhappy too.
It's commonly known that negative attitude creates negative circumstances. So they will always be unhappy and bitter, no matter where they go, unless they change the way they see the world and other people.
'There is much beauty in the world if you just have the eyes to see it.' Get rid of envious thoughts then. Celebrate and enjoy every day of your life.


Go for a walk or take a ride and try to notice the beauty of nature - look at the trees, grass, flowers, hear the birds, the sound of a water stream .....

Listen to music, try to dance....

You can also go to your kitchen and make some cookies........

......share them with your neighbors, friends or co-workers. Bless other people instead of being envious or critical.

It is not true that the grass is greener somewhere else. It is you who make it green or yellow and dry.

Important things

'For thou, Lord, wilt bless

the righteous: with favor

wilt thou compass him as

with a shield.'

-Psalm 5:12

It's so easy to forget what really important is - being busy with everyday matters, when we are constantly being disturbed by a million things. So easy to lose the path and forget the universal laws of life...

'The world within creates the world without', J. Murphy

The good you do comes back to you. The bad things you do, evil thoughts you send to others, will come back to you too. So the choice is obvious as it simply doesn't pay off to choose the latter option. It may seem quite shallow but it's only part of it all what really matters, and all starts with it at the same time.

*Unexpectedly tasty: cheese tortillas - made from scratch*

Cookies & Irish Festival

'The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
to all that call upon him in truth'
-Psalm 145:18

Good cookies are a good snack - when you are hungry and as a dessert too. So when you plan some outing or a picnic, prepare yourself and make some cookies a day before.

Molasses cookies

I've tried a new molasses cookies recipe - yes, they are tasty! I only added a bit different spices mix. Besides, I tried an option of oat meal cookies - with less oat meal. With good/tasty results. Quite funny that the recipe for oat meal cookies is not known in every part of the world - well, at least not very popular. Maybe because one of the ingredients is brown sugar, not used or hardly ever used in kitchens of many coutries. Anyway, the recipe is worth spreading indeed.
