Christmas Dinosaurs

I've been enjoying Christmas.


I got to wear one of my hats to look extra festive.

My owner tried to bake a bundt cake with almond flour yesterday, but the cake turned out too fatty.

Next time it's back to normal flour!


But there was something else we wanted to try, so today we were back in the kitchen.


I got to try my 3D baking set!


And I made cookies with dinosaur footsteps on them as well.


After baking the cookies we got out the green fondant and cake decorating stuff. After a while we had a whole bunch of T-Rex body parts.


Don't they look cool and creepy?


We also baked some speculaas t-rex cookies, so we finally had lots of cookies.

But that was not all!
Those body parts could be fit together:


Christmas T-Rex!


I think he turned out really cool!


And soon he had a friend.


Roar!



I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
I'll show off the cool presents I got soon.

Cookies and Other Yummy Stuff

Yesterday me and my owner baked cookies.

We had really cool animal shaped cookie cutters.
There even was a pig!

This evening we went out for dinner with friends to celebrate the birthday of my owner's best friend. We went to our favorite restaurant, but instead of going to the Wok restaurant we tried their Fusion Cuisine. It was really yummy. They had all kinds of different oriental snacks and such.

They had a drum with animals on it.

and a Geisha with a parasol.

It was a fun evening!

Taai Taai and Presents

Yesterday afternoon I helped my owner bake Taai Taai.
It's a traditional treat for Sinterklaasavond just as Speculaas.

After eating lots of yummy food and Taai Taai and such it was time for unwrapping presents!

Just look at the cool things I got:

A zombie calendar for 2012.
Twelve months of zombies: isn't that cool!?

I also got a really big chocolate letter covered with walnuts and such.

And more zombies!
It's a zombie retelling of A Christmas Carol.

And last but certainly not least:
A really cool book about movies.

It was a really fun evening and I love all my presents.
Dank u Sinterklaasje!

Speculaasjes

We baked speculaasjes today!
They're cookies that have special speculaas spices in them. They're very tasty.

A Meeting with Presents

Look who I met up with today!

Hammie was in Groningen together with G. and Har, so we met up with them for a chat and Hammie brought me presents. He's been to France and he brought some souvenirs back for me.

He brought really yummie cookies, lollipops, two really cool keyrings and a piggy! Wow, what a surprise to get so many cool souvenirs.

We had a fun time catching up on news and telling each other stories about the trips we made. Much too soon it was time to say goodbye again. But we made plans to meet up somewhere in the (near) future.

A close-up of one of the keyrings.
This is a small replica of a gargoyle that's on a cathedral Hammie saw while in Brittany. Isn't it cool?!

And a close-up of the piggy.
His tail can wiggle!

Thanks Hammie for these really cool souvenirs.
I 'm very happy with all of them.

Guitar and Cookies

My owner's OtherHalf found me a guitar yesterday! It's a bit pink, but just the right size for me to play on.

And today my owner got us chocolate cookies. Schmorg immediately came running to help eat them ofcourse.

Chocolate + Milk and a Fortune Cookie

I had a very special mug of hot chocolate.
They gave me the chocolate on a stick which I could melt into the hot milk myself!

It was tempting to eat the chocolate, but I resisted temptation and melted it all in the milk, it tasted really good!

I got a fortune cookie too!

I wonder what the future has in store for me.

Well, that does sound exciting! I wonder what it will be.

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.

Cookies

Today we helped out out at the catering service again and the owner got me all these cookies! The green one on the right was a chocolate with hazelnuts.
