~ Mish Mash..











I know a bit of a mish mash..Here there and everywhere..

All those pretty Saturday roses..

But it rained today..
Sunday..
So I got ready for Noah's sleepover Monday..by making these cute cookies..
Just make the best chocolate chip cookies you like..
then add Googly eyes.. by her method..or just melting chocolate chips..I made mine from memory and see how hers are way cuter!
La prochaine fois!!
I made half of a new recipe..they were good..but still 6 too many cookies..it made 12.. so I walked them over to the across the street alphabet boys and they were gone..right away:)
Jacques and I each tasted..but I removed the Googly eyes for us..
I know..we are sticks in the mud.
I had one bite.
I can't poison anyone..I have to do a taste test..
Delish..
But mine took much longer to bake and if you do the double scoop..flatten first   a bit:)
The boys had big smiles..and I No..ah:) will too.


Remember I saved some unopened peony buds in the fridge?They are still there..
But I also hung some peonies upside down in the basement..opened and unopened..and you know what?
I love the way they dry..Have not tried white..but the pinks work so well!
Just wondering if any of you love Songza like I do?
There is music at your fingertips for anything..Crafting..reading..unwinding..cooking..going to bed..
Falling asleep.
It's a dear app!
Songza
It's an App on my Nexus..must be on your Ipads too♥
It's also just there on your computer..follow the link.
That's it..I'll have a new blueberry pie recipe next time and out of this world blueberry chocolate chip cookies:)

  5. You got very creative with the cookies. All of the different faces are adorable. I've dried hydrangeas but never peonies. Very pretty.

  7. These cookies really look tasty ! I am going to bake a blueberry something today – I think I’ll make up a recipe – will take pictures but if it does not taste good, the pictures will be deleted! I had planned to place whipped cream on it and some pieces of strawberries so it would be bleu, blanc et rouge for le 14 Juillet, but am not sure if I will. Your photos are very nice – j’aime les pivoines derrière les notes de musique – quel refrain est-ce ?

  8. Those cookies have to be the cutest things I have seen in a long while! Those lucky boys!
    I like Songza too...also Spotify and Pandora...lovely to listen to music all day long!
    The dried Peonies worked beautifully! The cookie recipe looks great! Cut and pasted already!

  12. I got a good chuckle when I saw your cookies, Monique. I can't imagine there is a child out there of any age who wouldn't love one of the cheery cookies. Didn't know peonies could be kept in the fridge. I always learn so much when I come to visit.

  14. Bonjour ma chère Nana gourmande !

    Comment résister à ces petits cookies ?... Ils doivent fondre délicieusement dans la bouche !
    Accompagnés d'une bonne tasse de thé, inutile de dire que ma pause serait idyllique !


    Gros bisous à toi ♡

  20. Dear Nana - just echoing what Tessa said (first comment) - the humidity here is so thick it looks as though it rained, hoping for a rainstorm to clear it up....Oh! those Saturday roses! Is that their proper name? Because they are definitely in my future...Waving to you and the A-boys!

  23. The music & the flowers, so classically romantic...is that a handwritten music score?

    1. Hi Rita..it is an old texture I had..and did not keep the source..l just add it on top of my photo..any image of sheet music works..you need to use a photo editing program.
      It was fun..he brought 3 books he always does..gets 3 stories every night at home..thought of you..one of them was particularly lovely about a grandfather gardener:-)

  24. Your creativity knows no bounds! I never would have tried drying peonies. I love the Pandora app. Will have to check out Songza too.

  25. So, do peonies open after a time in the fridge? I love the idea of drying them, they must look like party dresses. Show us the result?

    Thanks for being my first visitor after so long. It's nice looking at my favorite blogs again. I've had NO time for anything for so long so it's great relaxing again.

    1. I am happy you can relax again..:)
      As I said I dropped by just 2 days ago wondering about you!
      You always hope everything is well in blogland:)
      Busy is good..
      They are there Deana..behind the sheet music:)

      They dry so well!
      Yes..chilled in the fridge(I wrap in paper towels then brown bag)..pick fresh buds.. months later you take them out and they bloom..not HUGE.in my experience.but pretty as peonies
      nevertheless!
