Call these cookies whatever you want but there are very small differences... This recipe was given to me by my Slovakian MIL... I must admit that I bought some of the fillings premade one year but I usually make my own. ... but they are delicious anyway... Check the Jewish or International section of your grocery store for premade.. The brand name is SOLO.... This will take several hours to prepare and cook... You can cut the dough recipe in half or quarter if you wish to make less.

Since I did a blog on the humble pencil it’s only fair that I do one on the design and history of the pen as well, the word pen means feather in Latin and this makes since because the very first pens where simply large bird feathers dipped in the ink. This large bird feather was called the quill and was used for a very long time used through the 1800s in fact. It’s important to note that many Asian countries never used the quill they instead used a bamboo stick sharpened to a very fine point. Some say that Galileo Galilei designed the first ballpoint pen but this has yet to be accepted. The very first ballpoint pen patent was in 188 by a man named Kayleigh Loud who was trying to make a pen that would write on tanned leather. Although it was patented in 1888 the ball point pen didn’t become prominent until the early 20th century when mass production and precision machining made it possible to produce the pens in quantity. Even though ball points are super popular the fountain pen is still In use today. Some people even keep a quill on their desks as a decoration and perhaps as a reminder to how much we’ve advanced even in the simple things like a pen.

If you happen to be into chick flicks, which I am, then maybe you love the Christmas movie The Holiday as much as me? (Unfortunately I have to watch it alone, because it doesn’t meet my fiancé’s manly standards.) In one scene in particular, Kate Winslet offers to whip up some “Christmas fettuccine” for Jack Black, who is in need of some much-needed cheer.
Gold, frankincense and myrrh are key parts of the traditional Christmas story, brought as gifts by the Three Wise Men. Of course, gold we're all more...

Goodness. All you rape apologists really did love the Christmas present Naomi Wolf gave you, didn’t you? When she said putting a penis in a woman while she’s sleeping is a “model sexual negotiation…
When you point your camera at a random thing on the street, you usually don’t expect much. But in the vast sea of dull photos that fill your camera roll, one stands out. Call it a miracle, or a lovely surprise, but if you feel like the pic is superior in composition, style, lighting, and somewhat resembles a classical painting, it may be that you have just encountered “accidental renaissance.”
Like many countries, Hungary is rich in unique Christmas traditions, and this holiday is among the biggest events in a Hungarian’s
Many of you are aware of the fact that family issues have caused me to step back from most of my commitments during the coming year. The one thing that I can still manage to do, in the evenings, is design work - so those efforts will continue to the extent possible. Because time is at a premium in my life right now, I have no new quilts to show. Still, there are some old quilts that I am pleased to post on my blog this month. These quilts are antique quilts that hung in a special exhibition at the International Quilt Associations's 2009 Show in Houston. Every year, the IQA quilt show has inspired me to create several new designs. This past year was no exception - and once my calendar is more flexible, you'll be seeing several old quilts made new. For now, however, below are a few of the quilts that I dearly loved seeing. Thank you to IQA for giving us such wonderful exhibitions! The exception to the antique quilts is the very first one; Winnie F is the proud owner of this quilt, which she started as part of a round robin. It has inspired me tremendously and is truly a fresh and innovative medallion quilt. Winnie is well-known in the Houston area for her medallion quilts; they are all exquisite. With best wishes to everyone for a grand New Year -- happy sewing! Sue Garman (c)2010 Susan H. Garman Winnie Fleming's round robin quilt The remainder of this quilts are, I'm sorry to say, not identified as to the maker or year. My first New Year's resolution should have been "take better notes!" The above photo is a close-up of the quilt below. Don't you just love the bright colors and the whimsical play of the half-square triangles in the above quilt? It is so delightful! Happy quilting in 2010!
