Food as Stress Buster - looking back

I love food - that's a well-known fact.

Food loves me - that, I do not know for a fact. But what I do know is that I have a history of equating food with happiness.

One source of happiness that I have not had in a while is Marion's cookies. Marion is Doc Ceccz's younger sister. When Marion started with her biz, I was slow to catch on. But on the day I did, I would take orders from the whole department then batch-order them. Below is (was) my biggest stash that I munched through in less than seven days.

Cookie hoard

Her cookies are soft and buttery. Very satisfying! The double chocolate chip cookie makes a perfect ice cream sandwich: just slather on some ice cream (I prefer chocolate for the ultimate sin!) on one side of a cookie, top with another cookie, and pop in mouth.

Another source of happiness: pastries. This particular selection is from Bakers' Passion.

Just a little something to make me happy.

Have a nice day!

Coming Home to...

My BLOG!

HERE!


For a time, I had considered posting on
another blog BUT BUT BUT... I forgot my password! Also, I miss having all blogs under one account (I used to have an account with FIVE blogs on it - life in general, love, food and travel, photography, and poetry - but I digress) so it's back to the original blog.

ANYhoo, I came back to post about a craving I have been having: freshly-baked bread. Plain warm bread fresh out of the oven in all its steaming, rich-smelling glory. a dollop of butter, a sprinkle of sea salt... and a cup of strawberry-cranberry tea! Argh...


Jeni bought an electric oven when we moved into our old apartment. Now in a much bigger place with a kitchen big enough to chop a
lechon in, I will DEFINITELY be using this oven soon. My baking skills are a tad above zero, as I can do stove-top but NEVER in-oven dishes... but in life, one needs challenges to become better evolved, yes?

SO evolve I shall... as soon as my day (and into the night) job graces me with time to do so.
