I got to participate in 2 performances Peter and the Wolf sponsored by our local library a few weeks back. It was so well done and fun to play, that I was just thrilled to be invited to play with them. Imagine my shock when I went to the library last week and they announced that as a thank you for playing, I was getting AN ENTIRE YEAR OF NO LIBRARY FINES!!!!!!!! Which was welcome, since I had over 9 bucks in fines already that week :) So I decided to keep one of the books that was super late and spend some more time with it. Since it was FREE!
Check this out - cookie postcards! You make some shortbread cookies - the recipe the book called for was alright, but I'm sure there are better ones out there. This was:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 8 Tbsp butter
- 1 cup sugar
Cut them into rectangles and place them on a greased cookie sheet. Cook them at 325 for 10-15 minutes. Let cool completely.
I made some wee cups with foil and put a few drops of food coloring in each.
Paint!

That was so easy WE could do it!
No, that's pretty much every shortbread recipe...but what a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteAre there pictures of the performance? Or videos? And I wonder if everyone's thank you was tailor made.
