Crocheted Czech Christmas Cookies - Last Forever! (Hackovane Vanocni Cukrovi - Vydrzi Navzdy!)

December 13, 2008

Clanek v CESTINE dole (Kliknete na “Read the rest …”)

If you look at this picture, you would say: “Oh, just another picture of Czech Christmas Cookies,” but you would overlook a significant detail. These cookies are crocheted out of wool and are only used for decoration! This great idea was accepted by many Czechs since they have a great opportunity to decorate their tables or trees without worrying about gaining extra pounds/kilograms during this calorie-enriched holiday season.

 

Renata Kuczerova, a businesswoman from Ostrava, started with a few pieces at first but her four children really loved them and inspired her to create this amazing collection. On the other hand, her husband was not very pleased. The cookies are also soaked in different fabric softeners (vanilla, coconut and others) to give them their original and mouth-watering scents.

 

The cookies theoretically last forever - unless they become targets of moths. You can store them in boxes in your closets and use them next year again. The only thing you have to do is to wash them to give them their authentic aroma. Great idea!

Pokud se podíváte na fotografii na začátku článku, budete říkat: “Ach, zase další fotka s českým vánočním cukrovím”, ale to byste přehlédli podstatný detail. Toto cukrovi je uháčkované z vlny a je použito pouze pro dekoraci! Tento skvělý nápad byl přijat mnoha Čechy, protože mají velkou příležitost k vyzdobení jejich stolů a nebo vánočních stromků, bez starostí o přibrání dalších liber/kilogramů během této kaloricky-obohacené sváteční sezóny.

Renáta Kuczerová, podnikatelka z Ostravy, začala zprvu s pár kousky, ale její čtyři děti si je zamilovaly a ispirovaly ji k vytvoření této úžasné sbírky. Její manžel naopak nebyl z tohoto nového nápadu nadšen. Cukroví je vymáchané v různých avivážích (vanilka, kokos a další), která jim dodávají jejich originální vůně, z kterých se vám budou slinit ústa.

Cukroví teoreticky trvá věčně - pokud se nestanou terčem molů. Můžete je uložit do krabic ve vašich skříních a použít je příští rok znovu. Musíte je pouze vyprat, aby získaly jejich autentické aroma. Výborný nápad!
