In my kitchen–
are trays and trays of cookies.
But it is not about Christmas! My nephew is getting
married tomorrow and he’s asked me to make cookies.
In my kitchen-
Is my pizzelle iron- I made pizzelles for the wedding, too!
and I sewed up a little pouch to hold them on their tray.
In my kitchen-
is a pomegranate waiting for the right moment to peel and eat!
In my kitchen- 
is a beautiful pewter tea humidor that is holding the most fragrant fruit tea.
I really love the scent, but something in this tea makes me cough- so mostly
I just smell it.
In my kitchen-
are these plates for parties!
I love parties!
Tomorrow is the wedding – so I will have NO more cookies in my kitchen.
Until I make some for Christmas!
What’s in your kitchen?
Check out Celia’s blog for other kitchens to explore!
Oh how exciting, a wedding – hope we get to see some pics of the special day, especially seeing that you made so many wonderful cookies!
Your pewter tea humidor is absolutely beautiful!
🙂 Mandy
I think this is very special- my nephew isn’t really into family- so when he called about making cookies I felt very pleased.
And when I talked to the mother of the bride- she said he told her I made the best cookies. It’s nice to be remembered for something “best”. I will take some pictures and post them. Thanks, 😀
Heidi, so much fun in your kitchen this month!! Thanks for playing! I’ve never seen a pizzelles before – I shall have to google them. They look delicious, a bit like a Chinese waffle I used to eat growing up, could you please share your batter recipe? The pom is beautiful, the cookies are too wonderful for words and the humidor is very elegant indeed.. xxx
Hi Celia-
I love pizzelles- they are traditionally made with anise or anise extract as flavoring- I use vanilla extract as well You can roll them and fill them with cream- or just dust them with powdered sugar and crunch, crunch, crunch!
I’ll put up the recipe tomorrow! 🙂
The cookies were a hit ! The trays looked well on the way to being empty when we left last night. Jonathan was pleased with the cookies. Great job!!!
The same to you, dear sister!
Thanks to you and Meredith for making all the chip cookies!
And the Russian tea cakes and thumbprints!
I have a deep desire to get my hands on a pizzelle iron, your pouch idea is very creative. And your pewter tea caddy is beautiful. Long life to the newlyweds, I hope they are very happy.
Thank you,Cindy- that is my hope and prayer as well.
My niece bought me the pewter humidor in Sri Lanka, and I love lifting the inner lid and allowing the fragrance of the tea to waft up toward me! I had originally stored some Darjeeling golden tips black tea in it- the fragrance was also quite enticing, but I emptied it out rather quickly.
And the pizzelle iron makes two cookies at a time- you can’t start anything else until the cookies are all made- two by two. They are definitely a labor of love.
Hello there Heidiannie… how lovely these cookies are. And you enjoy pomegranate too, I see. Love the fruit tea. Am about to go out and grab some apple tea which I will chill with a fragrant Indian tea. Great for a cool day. Drop in to my kitchen and have a cuppa soon! And thank you for sharing yours.
Hey Lizzy- Thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment!
I am drinking copious amounts of tea- as I just came down with a pre-Christmas cold that I don’t have time for!
I love the tea humidor!
Thanks, Tandy-
I had it on a high shelf in the family room and was dusting it a while ago. It occurred to me that I wasn’t enjoying it to its full potential- so I relocated it into the kitchen and now I enjoy it much much more!
I want to try one of them pizelle thingies, never seen one here in South Africa. Thanks so much for visiting my blog.
You are quite welcome!
I love the IMK series- it gives us all a chance to see what is going on in kitchens all over the world!
Heidi I hope the wedding was beautiful and made all the better by a whole lot of cookies. They look lovely.
I haven’t heard of pizzelles either. They look kind of like the dutch sweet ones you can buy (although the name of them as escaped me at the moment.)
The wedding was simple and beautiful.
I had never been at a wedding that had a cookie bar- we must have made close to 1500 cookies- many different varieties.
The pizzelles are wonderfully crisp, kind of eggy and not too sweet. I love them with a cuppa.
Cookies, pizzelles, no wonder you want to have a little sit down and a cup of tea. Wow such a busy time for you all. I have now mentally sampled all the cookies and am going to have to sit down again myself xx Joanna
I’m off to the Gingerbread Boss competition in Chincoteague this weekend.
I’ve decided to wait and put the house together when we get there on Thursday, so it won’t fall apart in transit.
I’m drinking lemon and ginger tea with extra ginger syrup in my cup- hoping to ward off a cold.
