My grandson and I were baking Scottish Shortbread Cookies (find the recipe here: http://recklesslydancingwhilesupperburns.blogspot.com/2011/06/scottish-shortbread-cookies-with.html).
He kept tasting the dough, because it is absolutely yummy. He'd say, "Mmm. This cookie dough is so delicious," as soon as I had whipped the sugar into the butter. But once the flour was mixed in, he couldn't keep his little hands out of the stuff. Being just three ingredients (and no eggs), he was able to safely eat all the dough his little fingers could sneak.
Finally, he said, "Nonnie, this cookie dough is so good, it makes me want to do the Pirate Dance." And with that, he leaped off the little step stool and began to dance. He took this very seriously, by the way. I had to make him freeze for a minute while I ran and got my camera, and then I was able to film this to share with the rest of the family and our friends. I'm glad I did, because he has refused to do the Pirate Dance ever since...although he did teach Sydney to do it just the other day. Now that was hilarious! Boy, where was my camera for that one?
