Last game of the season

It had to be the best game ever... but it could not be true... FC Utrecht, my favorite soccerteam, is no longer playing for a place in European soccer. Me was sad, but very proud last wednesday evening, because the boys played so well! Me liked the way everybody did there utmost best to show what a great team we have.

To bad we lost.

Visiting Gaja-Fleur

Last saturday me visited Gaja-Fleur, the babygirl of Maureen, Berries best friend.
It was real fun. Gaja-Fleur was eating some mashed apples - which looked truly delicious - and after that me could sit with her in her chair. It was loads of fun. Until she started eating my eye... well who could blame her? Me googly eyes ARE delicious too... Berry had been playing with her later on in the afternoon. Driving her around in her walkingchair. It looked like fun too. But hey, Berry drives me around in het VW Beetle, so, me is not complaining! Well, it was a very fun afternoon, and the little Gaja-Fleur is really sweet! Me is going to visit more often and maybe, me is allowed to taste some of the mashed apple... mjam.

Dutch Alfabet - 1

Today, me starts with typical Dutch things. And because me lives on Sesame Street, me like to do so in ABC. Me starts with the letter A.

A is for Appeltaart (Apple pie)

The Dutch like appeltaart. It is the same as apple pie all over the world. But still, it is very Dutch. The best apple pie has a thick crust and a closed top, so you no can see the filling. Inside the dough there are all kinds of applepieces and raisins. Sometimes almonds or pecannuts. But that is not very old fashioned Dutch.

Proud

So, here is my new Cookie Report. Me have been a bit busy at Berries work. You no want to know how much me had to do! Call customers, write articles, judge the lay-out! Me was pooped!

And me had to look good too... Well, actually, Berry had to look good. Me always look spectaculair in me blue fur. But sometimes me like to play dressup, or just crawl away in Berries suit! Nice isn't it.

Cookie @ Work

Everyday, me go with Berry to her job. She is the chief editor of a professional magazine. She writes articles, helps with the website, makes sure everything is in its place when published.

It is fun. Me sits on the ground most of times, reading magazines and stuff. Sometimes me eat cookies or crackers. And when me is a good monster... me can sit in her chair and pretend to be the chief editor.

Me just love healthy like CountryCookies!
Me even love singing country songs.

So hop on the train with me, Cookie and sing-a-long with the Ballad of Casey McPhee!



Isn't it a real tearjerker?

Eating pancakes

Last year, at the last month of the Dolfinarium season, Berry went to say goodbye to the Dolphins in Harderwijk for the winter and wishing them some great holidays and beautiful fireworks. Me tagged along, offcourse! Berry never goes to the dolphins without her trusty companion. Yes, me! After walking in the cold, we went for some hot chocolate and pancakes. We choose one with tomatoes and cheese. It was delicious!

Dutch Treats, part 1

Do you want some liqourice?
Me like to talk about this Dutch treat. It is candy. You can have it sweet, with anise or menthol or just loads of sugar on top, or salt. In English it is called liqourice, the Dutch talk about drop. It isn't that hard to pronounce. It is like a drop of water...

Although liqourice - Me will call it drop from now on - is a Dutch treat, the ingredients aren't that Dutch at all!

Under the Sea

Last Friday me went with Berry and Keevie to Harderwijk to visit our Sea Friends. During the ride to Harderwijk me was awed with the view! In the Netherlands snow isn't that usual, and now the whole world was white! The fields, the roads, the trees... it was beautiful.

So was the Dolfinarium: everything was covered with snow. You can see some of those pictures on Keevie & Ik. Some animals liked the cold, snowy atmosphere. The sealions from Siberia were even sunbathing! The little seals not, they wanted to stay in the warmer water. One was playing with a rock though... And the sharks and rays were swimming in warmed water. That is necessary, because the water isn't deep and it can't be frozen.

VideoClip: Healthy Food

Sometimes people say me is obsessed by Cookies. Me only want to eat cookies. Chocolat Chip, Macaroon, GingerBread... Me loves cookies, me will not make a secret of that. But that doesn't mean Cookie no not know about healthy foods! Just listen to me rap, and you'll know me know everything about healthy foods.



Me just like cookies better...

Snow

Finally! Winter has come! Well, to the Netherlands that is. Today actually meterological Spring has begun... and in the Netherlands it is snowing. Just like last year.

Me like snow! It is white and soft and cold. Me can eat it when me is hungry and thirsty. Me like to walk outside, open me mouth and let the snow snow in! It is nice.
