Christmas Tradition.

Rosette's in the fryer above. The temp on the mold has to be pre warmed and then dipped into the batter so the cookies falls off of the mold. See below: dipped in batter before putting in oil.



Finished Rosette's. Anybody want some? YUM!



One of my favorite christmas traditions was waiting for grandma's cookies. And when they arrive in that big box covered with paper and we get to dig through the layers to find our favorite one. And also grandma complaining that they never turn out right. So this weekend I attempted to make her Rosette cookies. That's one cookie I always look forward to grabbing. YUM. At first they were hard to do and took a few try's but then after maybe....ten try's, I finally got it. I had fun making them. They did take awhile to make because I only had room in my fryer for so many at a time. If you want to try these cookies sometime, they are a great to have some time to just relax and take your time doing. I even took a break while the oil stayed hot and danced with Heidi for awhile and then went back to making the rosette's again. It was a fun and successful day of trying to make grandma's tradition.

Vintage Dust Pan
























My new find! It's turquoise! I have about a billion ideas for this treasure. One of which might be a mail holder, since it seems that we need one really bad (haha)! I'm sure it'll take on many roles though. I would love to put some flowers in it someday. Ideally, I'd like something decorative, but I do like functionality too!!
