"Giddiness and calm. Feelings I have when I pull up to Mimi’s house. 😌Grandma’s house to me means fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, home made bread, and a Christmas tree that stays up year round. I enjoy my slow days here. Picking peppers in the garden and arranging flowers. Thumbing through 1950s Betty Crocker cookbooks and discussing dinner. Conversations revolve around food. I surprised Mimi with tahini cookies. A delightful alternative to using butter, I explain. They’re vegan, Mimi! What does that mean, no eggs? That’s right. And they taste as good as your cookies! Well, ok, Mimi’s have extra love and a pinch of nostalgia that warms my heart"
