Heather's family loves curling and her boys are pretty sensational. She wanted to celebrate her sons' team success with cookies, so I created these cookies for them. One of the things that I really love about this profession is the amount of learning it requires. In order to do these cookies justice, I found out about all about the sport of curling, despite the fact that I have never played it. The circular target, represented here in cookie form, is called the house and the goal of the sport is to slide the polished granite stones, called the "rocks", towards the house. Curling is game of strategy, aided by the skill of the curler sliding the stone in a curve and the sweepers using their brooms to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone. This strategy and skill has earned curling the nickname "Chess on Ice".
Well, these cookies certainly brought them some luck, because after winning the Regional Gore Mutual Schoolboy curling challenge, they went on to place 2nd in the provincials in Haliburton! Read the full story here!
Congratulations Ian, Tyler, Connor and Jordan!
