This was the scene here yesterday afternoon, right after our mail was delivered. Inside a package, was a very pretty box with an even yummier inside - cookies from the lovely Shauna. She calls herself the Gluten Free Girl, but we now call her the Gluten Free Goddess around here. Yummy. Seriously, yummy. You know, since I was very little, I *always* wanted to be someone who could speak to people through the food I made for them. I longed for the food I made to nurture and heal and unite. Grandious goals, to be sure. And goals that didn't quite match my skills, or, it turns out, my passion. But Shauna? She's got it. That magic touch that can create food that not only fills your belly, but your soul too. It sounds cheesy, but I'm tellin' ya, after one of her cookies, I felt it. It's the same way I feel after reading one of her blog posts, and the same is true with Molly at Orangette. So 'full' of life, and spirit those two are. Such a joy and inspiration to read - I can't wait until their words come off the computer screen and in my hands in the form of each of their books. Ah!
We intended to save our cookies and spread out the goodness, but that didn't happen! Steve made it home in time for round two of the cookies, and well, you see, little miss Adelaide, being the third child and all, had some too.
{I know I said I wasn't going to talk this week. The cookies made me do it.}
