Homemade Dog Treats
Our favourite pooch is moving away soon. I may have shed a tear. So when we were asked if we wanted to dog sit for the weekend we jumped on it. I mean how can anyone resist this guy:

Making a Confederation Tray
It started as an experiment, like most things do around here. To try it and see what happens. We had harvested some hemlock logs from Sutherland’s River, NS in the winter of 2017/2018. We decided to slice up some hemlock into round discs, called cookies, and follow through the process of levelling, sanding and finishing. But first, we have to count the rings. I counted just over 150 rings. That means this tree sprouted at about the same time a group of men gathered in Charlottetown, PEI. Which is just up the road and across the water :). Confederation Cookies.
About 150 growth rings. -
Uses for Wooden Cookie Slices
Honestly, I had never heard of the term cookies when referring to wood before. All my cookies come out of the oven. Always learning something new. These cookie slices were cut on the sawmill.

Brown Sugar Cookies
Brown Sugar Cookies With the power back on, its time to replenish the cookie cupboard. 🙂 I had spied this Brown Sugar Cookie recipe in the Company’s Coming Cookies recipe book a few days earlier. This afternoon after lunch, with the oven still warm from lunch, I took a crack at making these treats.

Lemon Cracks cookies
Lemon Cracks Cookies First time making these type of cookies. The recipe said it would make 5 dozen… well, maybe… if you were using a teaspoon to scoop the dough. But the lemon rind flavor is nice and even tastes better the next day. Worthy to make again.

Cinnamon Roll Cookies
Cinnamon Roll Cookies Found this recipe in a book and it sounded good. Make the dough, which includes cream cheese, and roll out like to a 9×12 sheet 1/4 inch thick. Well, there was more dough than that, so I rolled it out 9×18. Make up like a cinnamon roll and chill for 1/2 hr. Cut into 1/2 inch slices and bake for 10-12 min at 350F. Suppose to make 4-1/2 dozen cookies. Well, it didn’t quite go like that…

Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies
Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies Chocolate and cinnamon?? Yes, I questioned it too. On top of that, there’s also raisins and walnuts. Ok, I’m game to try anything. I mean, if the recipe author took the time to put it in their book, they must think a lot of it.
