The 27th annual Christmas Stroll will take place on Saturday, December 1. We here at Moreland Properties are planning something different and fun this year. We’re going to decorate our building on the corner of Austin and 9th Street as a gingerbread house. All the agents are making gingerbread cookies that we can give away to people who come to the Stroll. I’m really excited! I love to cook, and this gave me a great opportunity to visit the best kitchen shop in town - Hollandaze Gourmet - at their new location. They are now located just past the H-E-B as you go out Williams Drive toward Sun City. They’re on the right-hand side of the road. The new building is gorgeous. Hollandaze is now the anchor point of what will be a delightful shopping center when it’s finished, complete with a restaurant, I’m told.

So I went to Hollandaze to pick up some high-quality gingerbread cookie cutters. The service in this store is wonderful. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they were able to immediately show me the cookie cutters I was looking for. Fabulous! (They’re huge, too. Guess I’m going to have to quadruple the recipe.)

The quality of the cookware at Hollandaze is unsurpassable. (Is that a word?) My biggest problem is not emptying out my bank account each time I go into the store. I could happily take one of everything.
