Black and White or Half and Half Cookies

My sister sent me a Black and White Cookie Natural Rubber Baby Teether she saw and purchased at MOMA ( Museum of Modern Art) in New York City.

She gave me that NYC bag a few years ago which features the Black and White Cookies. My friend Eileen says in Massachusetts they’re called Half and a Half Cookies. Underneath these items is Ina Garten’s cookbook Modern Comfort Food with the recipe. I found it here at the Barefoot Contessa’s website in case you want to bake a batch.

They are found in New York City, Boston, and Florida but I found some small ones on sale in Ohio and Pittsburgh.

This just in from dc. Blog follower and friend.

“Black & white cookies are famous because they’re such a quintessential New York dessert. It’s believed that the cookie was invented at a Manhattan bakery called Glaser’s, which was founded on the Upper East Side by Bavarian immigrants in 1902 and closed in 2018.”

Our family enjoys them on occasion see blog post here

Paper Engineering

I received another wonderful pop-up card in the mail from a good friend. The paper engineer creator is from Berlin. Her name is Maike Bierderstaedt .

The construction of the intricate and beautiful designs amazes me and I open and close it and open it again to watch the paper Bouquet blossom.

My sister sent me a pop-up card recently you may have seen the Bunnykins and Daisies post

Daisie Bunnykins and Cheerful Mail

Received a cheerful yellow envelope from my sister from New York City. She’d mailed me the Picket Fence Daisies pop-up card designed by artist and paper engineer Jann Johnson. It’s from MOMA (Museum of Modern Art).

This week while at home, I’ve been photographing some figurines from the bookshelf in the living room. When I saw the daisy card, I got this little bunny and looked at the bottom where it was printed Daisie Bunnykins. Put the card and bunny in the windowsill and here is the happy photo.

Missing Degas by a Day

Dance Dance Dance
The Dancers. All those ballerinas. I had a framed print on my childhood wall.
I’m visiting my sister but Wednesday we’re headed to family in Ohio.
On Monday at MOMA, I read signs of the Edgar Degas exhibit which previews the day we leave the city-glimpses of what I’d miss were represented in the gift shop.

Degas dancers on bookmarks,stationery, prints to be framed, journals, magnets, a children’s book. Not a mug in sight!

The entrance to the exhibit, cordoned off until tomorrow for members.

Grid Gallery

Grid gallery. From the archives. Once you start looking, it’s surprising to see how many grids present themselves. Seems I lean to shooting through chain link fencing.
