Bridge and Speculaas!

We went into town for some shopping today and took this picture on one of the bridges near the city center.

The bridge has 4 statues on it and this one is my favourite.

When we got home my owner decided we would make speculaaskoekjes (a sort of gingerbread cookies). She had bought a box of speculaas mix where you only had to add water to make the cookie dough.

After making the cookie dough it had to be made flat with a rolling pin.

I tried to help with the flattening too, but the rolling pin was very heavy.

Now this is more like it!
I got to cut out the cookies.

We made lots of cookies and my owner's OH even made a McPig cookie!

Isn't it cool?!

Waiting impatiently for the cookies to be ready to take out of the oven.

And finally here they are!

They taste delicious I can tell you, allthough I havent yet eaten the McPig cookie as I think it's too beautiful.

@Hammie: I took a look and I love the picture G. took. All pictures on the site were beautiful I must say. And it's funny indeed that G. and me nad my owner like the same statue indeed, but i got the feeling we got more things in common like Schier, Calvin and Hobbes so maybe not too surprising after all.
