I am SO HAPPY right now!:D
I know I said I was going to make my Granma's chocolate cookie recipe as a tribute to her for her memorial service.
I was all ready to spend the next two weeks practicing until I got it right.
I got it right tonite...on the first try!!!!!!
I was going to do the scientific method, you know take notes, Batch #1, I did this, Batch#2, I did that...but as I was getting the ingredients ready, something told me to stop and just do it...no note taking. Just do.
So I did. And once they cooled, I walked in the kitchen and tried one...I felt like I was 7 years old again, sitting in the kitchen with her.
I know it sounds silly to get so excited over a cookie, but this is the happiest I have felt since I was told that she died.
I plan to make enough for the after memorial service luncheon and then I will also have made up individual batches for my family members. It's going to be a secret surprise.
I plan to make this my signature dish to bring to family get-togethers from now on. So it will kind of be like a part of her will be right there with us. :)
