Conan | The Sweet Chocolate Dobie

Conan-the-Chocolate-Doberman-Honolulu-Hawaii

.

Meet Conan, the non-barbarian, super sweet Chocolate (the official color is Red) Doberman. This sweetie pie was on the short list to become a calendar boy, but did not make the cut. He thought it was totally unfair, and I agreed. Conan has all the numbers: he is handsome, sweet, polite and playful. He also has an endearing smile and gives award-winning puppy kisses.

We met at Moanalua Gardens in Honolulu only to discover that dogs are not allowed in the park. So we switched to a nearby location, and we got lucky: it was spacious, had trees for shade and nobody was around. Conan chased balls, and we chased Conan. But then he also posed for me, and, as you can see, the camera loved him.

Here he is with his hu-mom and hu-dad. Conan is one very loved pooch, just as he should be.

    I had forgotten how easy and good Pie Pops are till I made some for a friend’s birthday tea party over this past weekend.
I made extra and put them in the freezer. They defrost quickly and are perfect for when a small sweet treat is “desperately” needed. 😄 Or you can make a bunch ahead for a party, too! Use your favorite pastry, or get mine, which is a classic Italian “pasta frolla”. Use your favorite fillings... or mine. 

You can find the recipe by popping up the links in my profile @lifeoutofbounds, scrolling down and selecting Recipes for Spring. Scroll down the page that opens up and you will find it. Have fun baking!

    Yesterday I baked a batch of these….
I don’t think there will be any left by the end of today.
(It’s the dogs, of course, not us 😜)

They are Margheritine di Stresa (Little Daisies from Stresa), my favorite cookie. Deceptively simple, but melt-in-your-mouth bites of heaven. 🌸
Ok, I need another cup of tea now. Earl Grey, of course
