dalthauserI've been at the North Padre Island "Estate" since Friday evening. Yesterday and today I helped Marcel prep at the restaurant. It was fun. Mostly I chopped, peeled, de-veined, and strained...... but I did get to make Spaetzle!
I only worked a few hours each day. The evenings I spent making cookies. Trying out some recipes from clippings I've been posting on my Jzero Blog. Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Jumbo Peanut Butter Oatmeal (except I used walnuts instead of chopped peanuts), and Spitzbuben (I haven't posted that recipe yet).
This morning Marcel and I were walking on the beach. I bring bread in a ziplock bag every time I walk on the beach for the birds. Today it was a whole loaf I'd intended to break up and throw out to the birds. On our walk we met an enormous Weimeraner. We bent down to pet him, and he sniffed at the ziplock bag. I opened it up so he could smell what was inside. Instead he poked his entire gian snozzle in there and grabbed the whole loaf and starting chomping down. Marcel and I just looked on stunned. We walked away and the last time we looked back at him he was licking crumbs off the sand.
I'm so NOT looking forward to going home and back to the grind tomorrow :-(

Do you or Marcel know what the cookies are called that are made with the wooden carved molds? My bunny in the icon is one of those molds, but I've never had or made the cookies.
I am the biggest cookie monster... I can eat a whole batch in one sitting. Much like the Weim and his bread!
