Baby Bums!

Also called Apricots, these Italian cookies are fussy to make but spectacular to display and very yummy to eat ...and on Sunday, they will be on the desert tray!


They start out as little balls that you roll and bake. Next, you carve a tiny hole in the bottom of each cookie. Then the fussy part. One cookie is filled with Vanilla pudding, the other with chocolate pudding and then you stick the two together to form the apricot.


Once together, you make a little mixture of marachino cherry juice and a dab of red food colouring and a shot of whiskey . Then you dip the the apricots into
the juice and roll then in sugar for the finishing touch.

Yes, the one on the right looks a little poopy... just the chocolate pudding overrun.

Here they are ready to be frozen until the big PArty. Are you coming? Did you let me know?
I hope to see everyone on Sunday at 1:00...bring cash or credit card for some Xmas shopping with Pampered Chef and Partylite Candles.

Happy Late Birthday Joyce!

Lynn and Joyce and I gathered in Castlegar at Elements Grill for a light lunch and then yummy carrot cake ( Nadine's Recipe) that LYnn made, for desert.
We got to see some more of Lynn's fabulous trip photos... she was the ham of the Mazatlan party! We blabbed away while we ate and caught up on everyone's families and then it was cake time!



I'd be happy for that recipe sometime, Lynn, or Nadine. It was very delicious for sure! The food was excellent at the Element Grill, so well worth the venture to a new dining place!
We emerged to the rain pelting down , threatening snow, but of course it was warm enough that it just kept on raining. I stopped by to Joyce's to see her photos of her recent birthday trip to Kamloops. Well, those little grandkids are so sweet, and the baby , of course is the heart breaker with her big hazel eyes!

After a brief nap on the couch, Emil and I cleaned up and drove over to Pete and Elli's . It was her and Pete's 65th birthday, so they held a little neighbourhood party with most of the neighbours! Everyone chatted about Christmas coming so soon, and the news of the vacant lot next to us being sold...

Have a great Sunday! I am getting ready for my Pampered Chef Party..look out , it is going to be a blast...so come on over for it!
