The Montifiore Manse

Biscuits !
(or Cookies!)

Last week Martha had some of the young ladies from church over to make "bick-eez" (cookies).

On the trip to Melbourne we picked up some cookie cutters of various shapes: heart, kangaroo, butterfly, alligator (snout doesn't seem long enough to be a croc), dove, dolphin, gingerbread man , rain drop, and a pine tree. A little while ago my Mom sent us a cookie cutter of the good'ol US of A.

Here is a brief example of some of the finished project.

Here is (from left to right) Rowena, Hannah, and Emma apronning up for the icing.

The marvelous mixer Martha's family gave us as a wedding gift worked very well for the frosting.

After all the decorating was done the ladies were kind enough to clean up.

Here they are!!!

After the cookies were done we got Pizza from Domino's Pizza. Yes they do have Domino's here in Tassie. In fact the Domino's is down the street from McDonald's and Pizza Hut and next store to the Colonel's (K.F.C. or Kentucky Fried Chicken). The Domino's here is equivalent to Little Ceaser's in the States.

After pizza the ladies gave Julia a bath and we settled down for a rousing game of Bible Trivia.
