Wonderful Weekend

Did everyone have a wonderful weekend?  We sure did!  We enjoyed a hearty Thanksgiving meal and watched the Seahawks whoop the 49ers.  We were blessed with SNOW!  This is a treat for us, usually we don't see snow until around February, if any at all.  It has been really cold here, too.  That means we get to enjoy the snow for a few days!  My kids headed off to a great hill over the weekend.  There wasn't a lot of snow, but it was so frozen that they were zooming down the hill. 

I love to see our home in the snow.  It's a welcome sight.

I made some scotch shortbread cookies. 

1 pound of butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

5 cups of flour

The trick is to get this crumbly dough to roll out smoothly for cookie cutters.  I pour some dough out onto parchment paper.

I then cover it all up with wax paper and pound it into a solid lump.  Roll it in between the sheets to keep it smooth and in one piece.  

Place onto a cookie sheet.  I add maraschino cherries, red hot cinnamon candy or colored sugar sprinkles. Bake for 25 minutes at 250 degrees.  Enjoy!

Christmas has arrived at Henle House!  We purchased some new furniture over the long weekend.  

It's nice to have a comfy chair.
