I have been making these cookies for well over a decade now, always at Christmas.  They are a crisper butter cookie, flavored with chocolate, rum, and walnuts.  I got the recipe from a friend who made them for a cookie exchange, and she had gotten the recipe from a magazine.  I don’t even remember now […]

These cookies just say CHRISTMAS in all caps.  They are spicy, crunchy, and filled with the classic flavors of the holiday. These cookies also passed our rigorous taste examination.  They are not as heavy in the butter and sugar department, so they make the perfect after-school snack with a class of milk or warm cocoa.

  • Budapest: an Eclectic Conglomeration July 29, 2015
    This is my first foray into Central/Eastern Europe and I must say I am not the least disappointed.  Budapest is fantastic!  As we went walking through the streets it struck me how asymmetrical Budapest is.  The streets seem to go every which way, the city has layers and two sides separated by these massive, beautiful …
