Dad has a meeting to go to tonight and because it's the holiday season, they've asked everyone to bring something fun to share with the group so mom had this great idea to whip up something that she's eaten before but has never made before!
She has never dipped strawberries or done any sort of chocolate dipping before and apparently you don't just grab a bag of chocolate chips off the shelf in the baking section of the grocery store and expect them to melt!
Things weren't going well at this point but I scored anyway with lots of broken pretzel bits!
So we arranged them all pretty on a plate and dad took them to his meeting! I wonder if they'll get rave reviews? We'll have to let you all know!
Thank you so much, Koobie! We listened to your CD while we were eating dinner and it was so enjoyable! Mom said that there were lots of songs on there that she's hasn't heard in quite awhile and all of the Babes in Toyland stuff really made her smile! That was so sweet of you, Koobie. That was a very generous thing that you did! We really appreciate it!
And just to let you all know................. We're getting snow right this very minute! It started about 10AM this morning, and then it turned to sleet (YUK) and now it's back to snow! The weatherman has predicted 6-10 inches and we're hoping it's more on the 10" side! We hope to post pictures of us playing in the snow tomorrow!
So until next time...............
Love ya lots,
Maggie

Why can't you eat anything on baking day? It's almost unfair!
ReplyDeleteMmm, they sound yummy. Can't we even eat white chocolate? That's not even proper chocolate! Life's tough!

ReplyDeleteHope you get lotsa snow and post some photos playing in it. Gabe and I love the snow. Well...I love snow. Gabe is probably the only Newf who is not too fond of it. He's a silly baby brother.
Wow, those colorful pretzels look yummy! My mommy gonna make some cookies tonight...I can't wait to know what they're gonna be! Nice prezzie from Koobie!

Hey Mags, We're getting snow here too. We must be sending it your way. There is going to be a big blizzard on Sunday and we're supposed to get another 30 cm, so brace yourselves! It will probably be warmer where you are, but hopefully you get snow instead of sleet.

We started to feel quite hungry reading you post, all that yummy food.

those pretzels look so yummy. we wish we could snatch them off of the cookie sheet and run away with them. our mom won't let us eat any chocolate either. bummer.
ReplyDeletewoofers.
pee ess. Maggie, your beard is looking pawsome. Bailey has the ability to grown a nice beard, but our mom can't stand it at all. she likes moustaches, but not beards. however, yours does look lovely. we liked it when you braided it.

Your mum is sooo clever, those pretzels look delicious. Pity you couldn't have any of the colorful ones.
ReplyDeleteI hope we're going to get some snow soon - it certainly is cold enough here!

yummy!! baking and recipes! I always stand in the kitchen when my mom bakes and hope she tosses me a little something. This morning I got a couple of flakes of her Special K cereal. hehe My mom has a recipe site online if your mom and dad wanna take a peek. She has lots of holiday ideas too there. You can go peek at: http://iwant.on.ca/Recipes/GiftsInAJarIndex.html or go to another section at: http://iwant.on.ca/Recipes/HolidayIdeas.html There's something there called "reindeer turds". lol
ReplyDeleteMaggie and Mitch,
ReplyDeleteCome on over to our blog and let us "give" you the spirit of Christmas ball for you to add to your blog and to pass along!
Lotsa woofs and slobbers from your pals,
Bella and Gabe
Hey pals, those pretzels look pawsome! I'm sure they'll go down well! J x
ReplyDeleteHey, girl!
ReplyDeleteHope there's plenty more pretzel bits where those first ones came from. (You're so helpful in the kitchen. I try to be, but usually end up getting in the way).
I hope you guys get loads of snow. Can't wait to see you guys romping in the white stuff.
Goober love,
Stanley
Those pretzels look great! My mum has learnt her lesson - never ever cook something you haven't cooked before to a deadline. Surefire recipe for kitchen-stress.
ReplyDeleteActually, white chocolate probably isn't that bad for you in very small amounts. There's no real chocolate in it :) And you should be able to melt it pretty easily if water doesn't get in it. The microwave is easier than a double boiler.
ReplyDeleteWow, those cookies really look beautiful. Too beautiful to eat.
ReplyDeleteLove
