I went and did errands tonight and ended up by the grocery store. Now normally I’m never in town when they have the Farmer’s Market, but tonight luck was on my side. The market is set up right in the parking lot beside the grocery store so I found myself heading over to see what everyone had to sell. And of course the first booth was a food booth that a local lady was selling her kolaches. Now if you have never had a kolache from scratch – you just never have really lived before. There are a lot of different ways to make them and my favorite is from anyone who lives around the Spillville area.

Their church group or other groups always seem to be getting together for a weekend and making these sweet bread rolls. So I bought a dozen and thought that this would be good to keep in the freezer right? Yea.. I opened the bag and by the time we actually sat down for supper I had eaten 4 of them. And I’m sure that I’ll be eating more before the night is over. Now I just need to remember what days those Farmers Markets are and try to stay away!
We’re planning on visiting William tomorrow to check out his new place and I wanted to make something to bring along. I’m going to throw some caramel rolls in the oven when I get home from work so they’ll still be warm when we get there, but I knew that I couldn’t get a batch of cookies done before we left. Heaven forbid if William was hungry right? Ok, he’s only been gone one day – but he can freeze them if he wants. The only thing about these cookies is that I didn’t start to make them until after 9:30 and all I can say is ‘Thank Goodness’ for parchment paper. Now if you don’t really think that you would use this in the kitchen, tonight is a perfect example of when it works really well. I put it on a couple of cookie sheets so you never have to wait for one to cool down and when the cookies come off – so does the paper. Now I’m not sure if you are supposed to wash these pans after you take the paper off or not, but why make extra work when you don’t have to?
It’s late and the cookies are all lined up just waiting to go in the oven
