Lovers’ Knots
>> Thursday, February 08, 2007
Dedicated to my two friends, Thu & Nam
Soon after Meeta from What’s for lunch honey announced the theme for her Monthly Mingle as Sweet Love, unexpected news arrived – one of my best friends from school days was getting married! Filled with joy, I would love to dedicate this post to the newly wed….
My dearest Thu is married! How strange to think about that? It feels like just yesterday when we were studying together, traveling around
Unable to attend their wedding, I posted a little wedding card and made these little Lovers’ Knots as a “distant gift”.
“Legend has it that the Dutch sailors tied this knot to remind them of their loved ones during their ocean voyages in the 16th century. The two intertwining overhand knots symbolize two intertwined lovers.” - Wikipedia
As my two friends tied the knot, I hope they will find happiness, support and enduring love in each other. And my dear Thu, take care in your new role of being a wife! “Rồi chúng ta sẽ gặp lại nhau”. ;-)
I am submitting this entry to Monthly Mingle – Sweet Love. My Lovers’ Knots are fried cookies & the recipe is from 500 cookies. You can view a similar recipe over at my pal Gattina’s blog here. Instead of shaping like her, roll ½ of the dough to 31x 8 cm (12 x 3 inch) Cut into 1cm strip then tie each strip loosely into a knot (Click here and here to see picture guide). Deep–fry then dust with icing sugar. The cookies are best served warm.
