December 12th
Naomi. Naomi was very good at playing her recorder. Everyone said so. She played at all the festivals in Bethlehem, and she would certainly play for the new baby. Why the baby was so special she did not know. The grown-ups seemed to think that what had happened last night was very important. Whatever the reason, she was going to play her very best songs at the stable.
I have returned to the baking of my youth by purchasing a pastry cloth and rolling pin cover. I forgot how well these work.
This is another new recipe this year.
It made 15 dozen cookies.
You bake a bunch of small round disks.
Spread apricot jam on one side.
And sandwich them together.
These are very yummy.
I sandwiched half of them with blackberry jam then sprinkled them with powdered sugar.* The winner of the first Christmas giveaway is: William Bezek

I think it's really neat that you're going through all the characters in your nativity! How long have you been doing that for?
Happy Saturday SITS sharefest!
Naomi was another one I´ve never heard of before. I´m learning a lot when reading here!
Have a great day now!

I just made a similar cookie - and I made apricot jam this summer. No blackberry though...didn't get to the store at the right time.
Those cookies look yummy, and blackberry is one of my favorite jams. Yumm!!!
And thank you Jaz, for continuing your narrative! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Hugs, Sarah
