Austrian Cream Cookies

   Mrs. Anna at Pleasant View Schoolhouse had a recipe for these lovely cookies on her blog, and I decided to make them.  For 5 minutes after my family tried them all I heard was "mmmmm,  wow.   mmmmm, wow."  They liked them enormously. :)  Try it out and tell me how your family likes them!

Beat 2 eggs until light.

Blend in 1 c. sugar

and 1 c. cream.

Mix in 3 3/4 c. flour

1 T. baking powder

and 1 t. salt.

Chill for an hour.

Roll out to 3/8 inch thick on floured board, then cut into 2" squares. Use the back of a knife blade to press a tic-tac-toe design onto the top of each cookie. 

Grease the baking sheet and bake at 375 for 10-13 minutes.

Frost with a dab of buttercream and garnish with strawberry slices, or a tiny lemon twist and a mint leaf, or a single perfect raspberry . . . .

Atlanta Trip part 3

Day 3.5:

     After Dialog in the dark, everyone feels like some ice cream, so we cross the street.  There was at total of 24 flavors, plus every kind of goodie and fudge you can imagine.  Has you ever had coconut ice cream?  Its really good!  But then, I like just about everything coconut.   Peanut butter ice cream is really good too.

Here is somebody's ice cream

And a lovely picture of me. (sarcasm)

Most of the rest of our family.

And the Duffs.

They have some really cool light fixtures, don't they?

     As we were heading out the door we stopped to watch this guy make waffle cones and waffle bowls.  It really is very simple, but you need a special waffle iron.  Turns out, he is a christian named John.  He has been trying to set up outdoor prayer meetings in the area for some time.  Well, we didn't actually leave till about 20 minutes, and 4 waffles, later.
