Re-ment's Laughing Cow

I'm totally in love with Re-ment's Laughing Cow cheese triangles. Aww... looks just like the real thing. I kept all the stickers on the triangles so that I can make miniature versions when I have time. Time! When will I ever have enough of it?? And sleep! I mean 8 hours of continuous sleep. Ever since my baby came, I've been waking every 2 hours at night!

I'm going to bed soon but thought of uploading these real vs miniature shots. Gonna upload to Flickr too... must make full use of my newly purchased Pro account!.

Gee... I love these cheese cubes too. It's a pity the Re-ment version doesn't come in individual loose cubes. The cubes are printed. Would have been more fun if they were just like the tiny cheese triangles. No worries... I kept the wrappers and logos... I just hope I don't have to wait until retirement before I can concentrate on my miniature business. That's all for now folks!

Do add my Etsy shop to your favourites. New miniatures will be coming in June.

Peanut Butter Cookies Prep Board

I had wanted to make a chocolate chip cookies prep board but decided to try something different. So I went for peanut butter cookies!

I wonder why PB cookies are marked with a criss cross pattern. Here is the answer from Wikipedia - The Peanut Butter Balls recipe in the 1931 edition of Pillsbury's Balanced Recipes contains the first known written instance of instructing the cook to press the cookies using fork tines. The recipe does not explain why this advice is given, though: peanut butter cookie dough is dense, and without being pressed, it will not cook evenly. Using fork tines to press the dough is a convenience.

So there you are... the criss cross pattern being carved painstakingly on each tiny cookie. But the end result looks fun doesn't it? I hope you like this prep board. Available at Etsy soon.
