But on a brighter note, less than two weeks from Kindling Words! I’ve been very blessed for it to work out for me to go again this year, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. I might even be able to make something for it–one tradition the retreat has is to bring along your snackable goodies, which are then left out for everyone to munch on between sessions. So the biggest question I will be tackling come a week from Monday: chocolate chip cookies or something more exotic? I usually make a mean chocolate chip cookie, but I found that living in Seattle changed how it baked and it ended up all floury and melty at the same time; very weird. What’s weirder was that living at sea level in Boston didn’t do the same thing–perhaps it was the humidy?
Now that I’m back up to high-elevation cooking, perhaps I should try it again.
