Dainties

I never used the word dainties for lovely little cookies and squares until I came to Manitoba. I think we called it Christmas baking, or even just baking, when I was growing up. But out here, whenever the beautiful baked goods are rolled out, they're called dainties.

I like that word, actually. It sounds... not fattening.

Anyway, we've decided to bake dainties for Christmas. Lots of them. 12 different kinds. And we're going to take orders and sell them.

So if you are interested in getting lots of delicious Christmas dainties, dainties that look as if you did them yourself except better, then you might want to give us a call or send us an email. While we can't tell you they will be low fat, we can promise that we'll only use fresh ingredients and real butter and really good chocolate--no substitutions and no shortcuts.

We can deliver them to you ready for your table or your freezer, depending on your preference, and we are working on our price list.

We are going to be giving out samples and taking orders at the next 3D Ladies Cinematic Society evening at the Park Theatre on November 22, as well as raffling a sample platter. It should be fun and you may be able to take home some lovely little dainties!
