David and I wished we could eat those delicious valentine's cookies made at Mary's house. We are having a valentine's party on Monday. We are scouring the web for ideas. We both like this valentine alien creature, and so we may make those. We found the idea at http://www.answerbag.com/. Anyone else have a suggestion for our party? David is thinking of making crepes for desert, but wookie cookies are a serious competitor for a spot on the menu.
Make a batch of bread, using red food colouring in the water of your dough. Then you will have pink bread.
ReplyDeleteEither let children make their own sandwiches on their food buffet, or have sandwiches ready.
Please cut off all of the crusts and make these like beautiful tea sandwiches.
If I were there, I would make rolled sandwiches, the kind where you slice the bread lengthwise, spread a little peanut butter in on it, and then put a banana in and roll to get beautiful pinwheels. How would that be for a Valentine Party?

A traditional cookie decorating moment at Valentine parties is to ice valentine-shaped cookies. The traditional mother might spend a whole day making sugar cookies, cutting them out with a valentine cutter, and baking them to be ready for the moment when the kids do the decorating. Having just done some decorating with a five year old, I found she was only able to sustain happiness in this activity for about five cookies before she wanted to move onto another activity. ie, just lick the icing off of a spoon.
ReplyDeleteA post-modern mom would buy the heart-shaped cookies at her local grocery store and use that product as the starting point for her cookie decorating activity, thus saving herself five hours of time.
A woman who had Molly Maid would do this activity before the cleaning service came, for it takes about 3 people to clean up the sugar from the faces, fingers, elbows and bottoms of shoes.
