check mate....

I'm starting to think they pile on the activities on purpose. There's a hard deadline for everything so the pressure is on. Today we did the Brysselkex cookies (picture), Biscotti (my partner and I did orange/pistachio - yum), Strassburger cookies (those little shortbread like cookies with jam in the center) and a batch of Pate Sucree dough for a fruit tart shell.  We do the fruit tart tomorrow.  The Brysselkex checkerboard can be modified for special events and holidays.  White/pink for a girls baby shower, yellow/green for easter, black/orange for Halloween,etc.  What fun!...
