Cookie Night 2008

Like I said in a post below, for the past 5 or so years, Gina, Paula, and I have gotten together around the holidays at Gina's parent's house in the 'Ville to make and exchange Christmas cookies with eachother and Carol. This year we met up in the late afternoon, which was perfect timing. There was snow falling outside, Michael McDonald on the cd player, and a fire crackling in the background. Cookie Night 2008 was fixing to be the best year yet.

"What the heck is that thing?"....you are probably wondering to yourself. No, it is not a fancy waffle maker. Well, maybe it is. It is called a Krumkake maker, and Gina makes these Norwegian rolled up waffle cookies most years.
It always seems like it is going to be a pain in the ass to make them. The first few always seem to get ruined, but after a couple stinkers it seems to be smooth sailing.

And there you have it.....krumkake. You can fill the cookie with whipped cream or other filling of your choice, but we eat them plain. Good stuff.

You know what else is good stuff? This kid!!! He turned seven months old a few days ago, he is quite the handsome man.
