Funfetti Cookies

Funfetti cookies will brighten anyone's day because of their cheerful colors. Chockfull of rainbow-colored sprinkles, these generously-proportioned sugar cookies can stand in for bake sales, family gatherings and for the cookie jar all year round. Not only do the funfettis have a good texture and great flavor, they're also very easy to make.

While searching for funfetti cookie recipes, I realized that I already had a perfect one on the blog from several years ago. Think of this as a reinterpretation of that recipe. The only major difference is, of course, the sprinkles.

Let's get started!

Once the cookie dough is done, I like to add the sprinkles by hand rather than letting the mixer do it. Otherwise, you may find the jimmies breaking down too much and leaving rainbow dust in the dough, rather than whole sprinkles.

P.S. The recipe is easily doubled if you want to make lots of them.

Once the cookies are cooled, you can drizzle a simple icing of confectioners sugar and water or confectioners sugar and milk. Combine the two ingredients until you have a thick, yet pourable icing. If you have icing bags or icing bottles, drizzling the cookies will go quickly. This is totally optional though.

I just had to take out my jadeite and serve a few of these on them this past weekend.

Remember this funfetti cookie recipe the next time you want an easy cookie for a birthday party or for a family gathering. If you happen to have colorful plates, so much the better for serving funfetti cookies on them. All white platters or cake stands also work wonderfully. Kids won't be able to resist these cookies, but I also suspect that the adults will have a hard time refusing one. One cookie is just enough to satisfy that midday sugar craving, but if you decide to have two of them, indulge.

Happy Baking!

Antique Salt Cellars

There was a time when salt cellars played an important role on the dining table for the host or hostess. As a result of it being such an expensive commodity several hundred years ago, salt was seen as a luxury and it was the well to do that made salt cellars quite fashionable & a status symbol for the home. A single salt cellar usually sat at the head of the table and was passed around throughout the meal. The closer one sat to the salt cellar, the more important one was deemed by the head of the household. Smaller cellars that were more accessible and with an open top became a part of Victorian table settings. Fast forward to the 20th century when salt was no longer a luxury and when anti caking agents were added to make salt free-flowing, and one begins to see salt cellars fall out of fashion. Luckily for the collector and for those of us who like to set a table with Good Things , this can prove to be a boon. Salt cellars for the table come in silver, porcelain, cut glass

Collecting Jadeite

With its origins dating back to the 1930s, jadeite glassware began its mass production through the McKee Glass Co. in Pennsylvania. Their introduction of the Skokie green & Jade kitchenware lines ushered in our fascination with this jade color. Glassmakers catered jadeite to the American public as an inexpensive alternative to earthenware soon after the Depression, both for the home and for its use in restaurants. The Jeanette Glass Company and Anchor Hocking introduced their own patterns and styles, which for many collectors, produced some of the most sought after pieces. Companies marketed this beautiful glass under the monikers of jadite , jadeite , jade glass , jad-ite , jade-ite , so however you want to spell it, let it draw you in for a closer look. If you want a thorough history of the origins of jadeite, collectors’ pricing, patterns & shapes (don’t forget the reproductions in 2000), I highly suggest picking up the book by Joe Keller & David Ross called, Jadei

A Tour of Turkey Hill with Martha Stewart and Friends

Martha Stewart led an intimate tour of her former Westport, Connecticut home and gardens for a few of my friends this past weekend. From the photographs I've seen of that special day, it was an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime by those who were in attendance. As much as I regret not going to this momentous occasion, my friends were kind enough to allow me to share their amazing photographs here on the blog. Let's take a tour of Turkey Hill with Martha Stewart and a few of my friends. Without the kindness of Jeffrey Reed, Dennis Landon, Darrin David, Anthony Picozzi and Colin Eastland, this post would not be possible. It must also be stated that the fundraising event was graciously hosted by the current owners of Turkey Hill, the Bergs. Many thanks to the Berg family for opening up the property. Turkey Hill is the Federal style home that was purchased, renovated and landscaped by Martha Stewart and her then husband, Andy, back in 1970. It was he
