Here’s hoping you find that recipe, Paige!

And also – hoping you have some “oh, oh, oh!” even if no “hohoho”. You know “oh, oh, oh!” ? The joy-blasted wonder you can get sometimes when you’re hanging out with kids (or in front of a fire, or??) – when things just have the “all’s right with the world” feeling – wishing you multiple tons of it!

How sweet and true this was.

This holiday season my daughters received little boxes decorated with fairy stickers and their name across the top, filled with treats from their aunt, and I got mason jars full of Hippocras and Homemade Eggnog, a loaf of pumpkin bread and sugar cookies. All made by my best girlfriend. What a wonderful treat that has been for breakfast given by her!

It is the little things that I love the best.

I think that was Celia Barbour’s spoon cookie recipe, no? Margaret do you remember?

I did not see the orig NYT article when I did a quick google search but I did not look too hard. There was also a 2005 Gourmet article and recipe here:

Oh, sister, I am with you heart, soul and cookie. Simple, small, nothing that needs rock anyone’s house is what is in order. Take stock. Make stock. Let’s nibble instead of gorge. Let’s appreciate. Let’s love and be loved.

Paige,
You said it perfectly, I am also over 2009, not that I am rushing time. 2010 has a wonderful sound to it.
I was searching through my cook books, making a list for me to cook next week.

I wish you and your family PEACE, HOPE & JOY.
