It was a busy week in the kitchen at Linderhof
Besides breakfast, lunch and dinner
(and a company lunch on Friday)
we baked -- not for us but rather
"to take"
On Monday:
Or in this case "to send"
The shamrock cookies for the grands
They have been renamed by Lucy as
"Broccoli Cookies"!
(although they don't taste like broccoli!)
And on Tuesday . . .
two chocolate chess pies
My donation for a fundraiser
"A Night In The Museum"
for the Bushwhacker Museum
Just two of the 40 pies donated for the event!
On Wednesday:
I made sugared pansy cookies
for a reception we had after the DUV-CW meeting in Kansas City on Thursday
It's the same cookie dough I used for Monday's shamrock cookies
And a favorite recipe of mine.
On Friday:
I made a six layered salad
for a funeral dinner on Saturday
It's one of my favorite salads and it's great because it's a make ahead one!
It was a busy week in the kitchen but I love to cook and am always glad to be asked to
bring something.

Wow! What a lot of cooking baking. I love the beautiful salad to make ahead. Thank you for sharing and hope you have a great week.
Joyously,

I'm impressed! In your case, the kitchen is the heart of the home just as in earlier days of America. I think you are just wonderful the way you show your care for the grandchildren, the community and friends, but taking the time to do something by hand. That means something. A woman came into the shop yesterday looking for a rabbit cookie cutter, which I had, so she could make Easter cookies for her grandchildren. That may be the only way kids now, with their over-the-top busy parents, will experience what we took for granted in our childhoods. I think the sugared pansies are delightful. I would like to serve those at an event.

The six layered salad looks great! Could you post the recipe?
