Impromptu Baking Session for Nana and Pop Pop
In the beginning chapters of The Path of Practice, Bri Maya Tiwari talks about rediscovering the ways of your ancestors -- especially the meals they typically prepared. I don't know about maaaaaany generations ago, but one thing I do recall from my childhood is mom's tollhouse choco chip cookies (hi mom! I tried to get granola in the store, but second guessed it and made them plain!).
So then the thought beckoned... When was the last time I created something not from this damn computer?!? Sorry. I don't mean damn. My computer, like it or not, one of the biggest tools in my artist tool box. I love you computer (do not even think about misbehaving!!!)
But dear God, sometimes a girl needs to get her hands dirty in some cookie dough.
And speaking of ancestors, Jack and I have two left... and Jack's Nana is turning 93 this weekend and my Pop Pop has a new apartment. Both of them have a sweet tooth. So I baked a batch.
Tonight I am a grand daughter. A role I don't usually assume. Feels good! Care packages go out in the morning!
