Friday, February 17, 2012. The assortment box - beautiful and delicious. Culinary joy in a sandwich.

A sister and brother I can call when I just need to hear the voice of someone who loves me. Even when they are mad at me. Voices of old friends that make you tingle with joy and an hour long talk in the shade of an old live oak.

Tending passionate affection for really great food. This is the first recipe I ever asked for. I remember being stopped in my tracks at the wonder of what I had just put in my mouth. Creamy, buttery, gooey, with a delicate, crisp top. And an angelic, light dusting of powdered sugar. Maybe forgot the egg? Years later, after overhearing some fellow mislead family members, I learned she was.
