I really like this show..Downton Abbey~






Every little inch of it~And I am not alone:)





My parents lived ..  in that era..  Were born in that era...my grandparents.. lived that era..






My dad ..the driver..in 1915..




and years later..still the driver..:)



I would take my place in the kitchen under Mrs Patmore I think..I would love to be neighbors with Anna and Mr Bates..(cannot believe that scene  Sunday..yet there was a warning at the beginning and I don't temember there   ever being one)
So many characters are so special..Mrs Hughes..Isobel Crawley....(I love her..)
The grounds..the gardens..the tea cups..the hats..a different life for certain..
Quite a bit of snobbery but it's easy to get by it ..if not simply for the lovely distraction of another world..and very good acting..

I made cookies for tea w/ DA♥
Many of you have the Brigitte Cookie cutter.What better use of it than to personalize cookies?
I wanted to make some for Donella..with her name on them..


And I wanted to make more Paris Petit Ecolier cookies one gloomy Sunday..



The day before..Saturday..I had found this recipe:) at Baking A Moment~

I thought..  could it simply be the perfect chocolate sugar cookie  recipe?
Well guess  what ? So far in my travels..it is..for what I wanted to do w/ the  chocolate cookies..That particular gloomy Sunday~
I found it here..and cannot wait to peruse  her whole blog..and find many more simply perfect recipes.




PS..
(I was so happy to see Nanny leave when she was so mean in the nursery..)and so sad for you know who Sunday night~)
P.P.S.S.  My taste in television programs are quite eclectic..
Shocking even..:)


 La Recette~
Please note that yesterday there was an error in my recipe..it is 1/2 cup or 1 stick of butter~

 Courtesy of Baking A Moment

Plse refer to her post ..as she gives tips and tricks..
I can tell you I did not flour my marble..the cookies cut out perfectly..I didn't chill..the letters stayed clear as day.
Looking forward to trying her other cookies.

1  stick   or 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut up(I grated mine)
1 tbsp oil..(unflavored..canola..etc)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 large egg
1/4 cornstarch
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

Cream butter, oil ,vanilla, sugar,salt in your KA w/ paddle attachment...just until the mixture is smooth..do not overbeat at this point.
Add the egg and mix until just incorporated
Add the cornstarch,cocoa powder and flour
I used in between 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 ..as I was rolling right away..(again read her explanations)
Preheat oven to 375

Roll out 1/4 inch thick..place on Silpat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake 9-12 mins depending on thickness etc..

And that's it..Rien De Plus Simple..

The DA photos were borrowed from Google Images.

    Oh I so love Downton too...all the people are just wonderful...I can't really pick a favorite. Wow, I did not see the horrid episode with Anna coming....complete shocker for me...it certainly sparked the storyline quickly......also, I love Tom and I just hate that that newly hired lady's maid (can't remember her name) is going to be a huge troublemaker for him.....can't wait for next Sunday!!

    Your cookies are adorable Monique. How fun it would be to sip tea and munch one of your cookies while watching.I like their dressing for dinner and the formality of everything. I love the show too and we record it to watch later in the week. I am also so glad Nanny West is history. Husband isn't so sure he liked it this year. Too much like a soap opera he says. Humm, I guess I might have to watch it without him :) and he can read a book.

    In visiting my sister here in upper Michigan (I'm still here for another two weeks), I ended up introducing she and her hubby to DA, starting with Season 1. We are now at the end of Season 3. On our second night of watching DA, we shopped at a local antique shop and bought 6 tea cups and saucers. We had delicious hot tea and goodies that night watching DA, it was so much fun. I love the pictures of your father in the car and I'll have to tell my sister about the cookies you made. All your favorites are mine as well and it kills me about Anna too. Have a lovely week!! -Bev

    I really love just about everything on PBS. I just wish they would make more shows of Downton. It is cruel to make us wait so long for our favorite shows. Grating butter? That is a first. Is it messy? I will have to try it on something. I wish I could still get goat butter, but haven't found a source since Meyenberg's in California stopped producing it. I need a cookie now. It always help me sleep before bedtime. I was thinking about Downton today, and though I would love living there, I couldn't handle all that formality on a daily basis.

    Loved seeing the photos of your Dad in the vintage cars, I've read in English magazines how popular Downton Abbey is in America, but I did't realise you all went so far as to make special biscuits, I love the idea, but don't think Mr France would even notice if I made special biscuits to nibble, while we watched the episode. But he does still enjoy watching it with me, as I previously mentioned to you this series is the best ( in my opinion).

    The most perfect of all Downton Abby viewing biscuits ever. I have been sitting on my tongue since we saw that episode last autumn. Horrendous. Poor Anna and Bates. But very well done. I love Downton Abby, as you know. I think there are a LOT of us out here! It is my dream to actually visit the house where it is filmed one day. I loved the old photos you showed us today. Aren't old pictures fun! Sending you much love today and always. xxoo

    I love that show and I record it so I can watch it over and over again. There is always so much going on that you miss some things. Love dressing for dinner and how formal things are. I feel that we are losing so much tradition - no one seems to dress up anymore, just rattie old jeans and to tight blouses. Maybe, I am getting to old LOL We always had a big dinner on Sunday and dressed for dinner. Things are sure changing.
    Loved the old pictures. My goal is to make a album for my son of all the old pictures and who they are. Great post.

I'm so glad Maggie Smith didn't decide to leave. I watched Gosford Park recently and there are so many similarities. I had seen it a few years ago - before Downton Abbey and now I know where the inspiration came from.

    Love your cookies! I've been enchanted with Downton since the first season, now - not so much. They killed off two of my favorite characters last season and I haven't recovered. The first and second season had the most enchanting clothing, and it felt as though it was much slower. Saw half of the first show this season and turned it off. It felt so different from the other seasons - darker (in color) and much busier. And of course, no horses:)

    No, I don't have that and have wondered how you do all of your adorable words on your cookies! I will now - just ordered it and just got the snowflake press too! Thanks for all of the fun ideas.
    Yes, I love Downton and was afraid if I would like it without Matthew, but I did! The Anna scene was horrible!!! Why sweet, sweet Anna?

    I love your gorgeous post....and we are also big DA fans...even my husband. He adores Maggie Smith the most...she comes out with the best one liners, and her expressions are priceless.
    I have the cookie cutter and have never been able to have the letters come out so clean. It probably was the cookie dough i used. Will have to try these chocolate ones for sure.
    My heart broke for Anna on Sunday...it made me think of how many woman in the past this happened to and they said nothing...even now.
    Your Dad was so handsome...i love old sepia pics...we have them all framed and hanging on the wall.
    Bisous xoxoxoxoxo

    1 stick of butter:) that's it..
    Even now you are right.
    I hate him.

    Re my dad..
    He was like your dad a bit at one point :) Debonair:)

    Cookies! :)
    You might want to sit down for this. Please, don't hate me because I'm completely oblivious to the show D.A. But, from what I gather, I believe you were born in the wrong era.

    Monique, all of my friends love this show, but I don't watch anything because I just don't have time but I know I would love this show! I used to be a fan of many British tv shows, especially old ones like Miss Marple, etc. Cookies look amazing and so unique thanks to those cookie cutters of yours!

    Monique maybe we should start a weekly blog on every episode...of DA, views, clothing etc.~

    I started watching last year and really enjoy the show-although I found this episode disturbing. Those cookies are delightful.
