I took many pictures of the kittens but most of them didn't turn out well. This one gives you an idea what they look like ( they're 3 weeks old now). I'm sure as they get bigger I'll get better photos.
The grands and I went out for one last peek at the kittens last night and on the way they noticed this little bee that found a place to sleep in my one and only sunflower.
Today was another most beautiful sunny day. I got some work done outside then came in and baked cookies. I tried a new recipe and they're pretty good. I found the recipe on the internet. It's called Empire Biscuits ( Classic Scottish Iced Cookies with Raspberry Jam). I always seem to have trouble rolling out the dough so I just made balls of cookie dough and flattened them slightly. They look rather ragged but since they're only for family and they know my baking often looks less that perfect---
( understatement) they taste very good. The first picture is before I sandwiched the cookies together with the jam.
As you can see the recipe doesn't make many cookies but if I had rolled the dough to 1/8 " no doubt it would have made more.
That's my Saturday. It was a good one and I hope yours is/was too. Thanks for coming by, GM
Sweet little kittens and bee. They both know they have a safe and comfy place to spend the night! :-) Those cookies look fabulous. I think I'm going to look up that recipe. I would love some homemade cookies and I haven't made any in quite awhile.
ReplyDeleteWe pulled the camper out of it's storage spot to reload some things that we had brought home after vacation. (Towels, sheets, etc.) We're hoping to go camping the first week of October with Dennis's cousin and wife. I'm not counting on it though. It seems like almost every day something comes up with Mom. After that, we took lunch to Mandy & Piper as Brad was working. I stayed with Piper and the puppies while Dennis and Mandy went to visit with Mom for a couple of hours. Then we girls went to Hobby Lobby to pick up party things for Pipers 10th birthday party next Saturday. It was a good day with family. Now we're sitting at home relaxing and I'm getting a bit of knitting done.
Take care!
Blessings,

Oh Granny, I'd like to sample one of those cookies right now. They do look pretty! Love those little kitties....hope you're able to find good homes for them all! That little black and white one is my fave!
ReplyDeleteSo many cookies and so many kittens made my day!
ReplyDeleteCookies, Kittie & grands...a most perfect kinda day.
ReplyDeleteuh oh! this recipe my find it's way to my kitchen, they look really good. Those kitties are so cute, little fuzzballs.
ReplyDeleteHow cute the kittens are! In my childhood we often had kittens. Those cookies looks very good! And remember, no one know how they should look like :) It has been a beautiful fall day here.
ReplyDeleteLove the little kittens. I'd love to have one.
ReplyDeleteThe kittens are so adorable. Is there anything any cuter or sweeter than a kitten...or maybe a baby bunny. :) I think your cookies look delicious, and perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat darling little kitties, so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI smiled at your ragged-looking biscuits. I deliberately make mine like that so that there is no doubt that they are homemade with love by me - homemade is so much better than commercial stuff!
O the little kittens! How tiny and sweet! What a grace, that they found a home in your loving house and sunny flower-garden and enlightened helpful heart! Look, the paws with little white toes!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for all!

Now Sunday is almost over. I guess I've been busy but I'm not sure doing what. I love kitties!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite things...kittens and cookies! It has been so long since I held a baby kitten, and I miss it! When I was a kid growing up on the farm, the barn cats hid their kittens in the hay where it was almost impossible for us to find them, but eventually they would poke their little heads out and the fun would begin. Your cookies look delicious. The granddaughters and I bake lots of cookies together, but they usually take most of them home.
ReplyDeleteLovely kittens. The cookies must be very good I will try to get the recipe.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute kittens, it would be fun to watch them! Your cookies look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI am almost envious of you having kittens...but then the way things have been I know it is good that I don't.
ReplyDeleteWell that's a post with lovely photos!! Adorable kittens, and absolutely mouth-watering cookies! Those cookies look like a keeper-recipe, I think. Can't wait to watch as those kittens grow up.
