This christmas I decided to try to do something christmassy(sp) with my kids and as they both needed to bring cookies to their school parties, I thought sugar cookies would fit the bill. Well I prepared the dough and rolled it out and prepared all the little sprinkles to put on them, the whole time thinking about how much fun it would be, and how nice it was at christmas to do these family things together. Well unfortunately the phone rang just as we started and when I hung up I looked up and there were sprinkles everywhere, they had cut out about 3 cookies each per square foot of dough and they were gone. I was left to make the other 100 for the party myself. Their idea of christmas was more along the lines of dreaming about the helicopter gocart and puppies that santa was to bring them.

Hmmmm...mozzarella...tough on the fly... "Oy Vey!! It's been from how many years now Mannie since we had Alte Sophie's chicken soup?? And look, there's her deli!! Looks just like it did when we lived in Brooklyn Mannie. There, there's a nice parking spot right there. No, don't take that one. No, not that one either. Right, this one. Stop kvetching. Yes, you are kvetching Mannie. I'm married to you how many years and I shouldn't know you're kvetching even you don't say anything?? I should be so lucky. Trust me, you're kvetching. You're kvetching with your eyes you're kvetching. No, pull back out and straighten it better, here's now the car all oingapatchked and how I'm supposed to squeeze out on my side? I'd cut loose a kvitch like they'll hear in Sheepshead Bay. Fall and land flat on my tuches. What you think I look like here, that Twiggy girl that usedta all the time be on the foinsehr? I should live so long. Anyway, I'm now so hungry I can hardly wait to fress up a gevaltige bowl of Sophie's soup with lots and lotsa mozza rella soon, maybe with a little nash herring and a corn rye." Ok, win some lose some.

Mostly we just had strings of dough with big holes. Really, really, really. It's just like making bread dough, no big deal. (Some recipes suggest the addition of a little oil.) The problem is cooking it. My own efforts came out much too biscuity. Should be a bit chewy. This has something to do with the humidity created by a woodburning oven. It's occasionally advised that one put a pan of boiling water on the bottom of the oven (this would make cleanup easier as well), but I've never tried it. Here we now have some very good frozen pizze, which is what I get when I want one. Not as good as the pizzeria variety, but not bad.
