As much as I love New York, Toronto comes in a very close second. For the fourth consecutive year, I went to the Ex. A two week “fair” that takes over the CNE in down town Toronto the end of August /beginning of September. Here they introduce the strangest of foods; deep fried butter, chocolate covered bacon, and deep fried, well, everything!
Happy place! (Taken with Instagram at Post Ranch Inn)
Nothing better than a vanilla cone from the ice cream truck!
These cookies were easy and a lot of fun to make. My aunt, in the past, has put the cookies on skewers to make beautiful cookie bouquets.
Cookie ingredients:
1 stick of Butter
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 cups of flour
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well. Add flour and knead until stiff.
Icing Ingredients:
1 kg of icing sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
3 egg whites
food coloring
Mix ingredients together. Divide icing into individual bowls and add desired color to each. Put icing into piping bags and go wild!
Camp Dabarno, Muskoka
It’s always a great time at Camp Dabarno. The best new addition; a vegetable garden! We ate fresh herbs, tomatoes, and peppers. What a treat!
Bakerbots… Wow - what a treat!
I tried the birthday cookie with vanilla cookie ice cream. The outside cookie was perfectly chewy providing just the right casing for the ice cream.
