Trying to get away from the chickens…

But they keep following him

He tries his crazy cat moves on the chicken.

Happiness is hot asphalt and a cold snowbank? Our funny cat, Joe.

Using a giant Speculaas board

Here’s a old Dutch speculaas mold (antieke speculaasplank) that my parents bought in Holland in 1960. Using it was tricky — definitely flour the mold first. Then use a knife or a wire (like a clay cutter) to horizontally trim the excess dough off. Then invert on a baking sheet. Ta da!

This little movie shows all the tricks (I should have watched it first):

Meet “Kookie” — we can’t wait to get him home. I’m so excited to own something made by John Brickels! I first saw his work at Shelburne Museum a few years ago and it’s a thrill to own a piece by him.
