Awww,honey, you baked!!
"Ohhhh, look what I have for you. Come in, come in.
When I heard those words,I knew GRANDMA HAD BAKED!!
I hold warm memories of Grandma humming as she put the finishing touches on her "masterpiece" and I patiently watched and waited for her final word to tell me she was done."There we go" she'd sing.
I loved to help her cook.I still remember the sounds of laughter and the oooo's and aaaahhh's when our fresh bread was pulled out of the oven.
I remember Grandma coming up with games in the kitchen while I patiently waited for the cookies to bake. We would play flip the apple peal over the shoulder to see what letter it resembled and sometimes reading a whole word in peals on the floor. Hey,I thought it was fun!!
At the age of 7 I made MY first batch of chocolate chip cookies. I begged my mother to let me do it on my own. I remember running from the kitchen to the front room to ask mom to explain the next ingredient for my Toll House Cookies
They showed me that cooking was fun and it opened doors for conversation and laughter.
Food brings people together and special goodies are a wonderful way to bring out a smile or a conversation.
So now I say," Look what I have for you,Come in,Come in".
