Homemade cheese crackers

I tried making these cheese straw-ish crackers for a little party (our tiny moomin birthday), and I think it's a good back-pocket recipe. It's a nice healthy snack that holds a cookie cutter shape well, so it's nice for lunchboxes or party plates. The original recipe is here at 101cookbooks. I don't have much to add, other than: roll the dough as thin as you can. If these were for adults, I would add in a ton of cracked pepper and some rosemary. (The shapes are snufkin & moomintroll — our moomin cookie cutters are half gifted and half from ebay).

Watermelon stars

A nice and cool snack for a beach picnic: slices of watermelon + cookie cutter = watermelon stars. Watermelons punch out shapes cleanly, and they'll hold the shape and juiciness more than a day. Summer's almost over, you have to slurp it up quick!
