Well said, Julia!
Food is love. And I love love. Therefore, that delectable gravy gets poured over everything on my plate. If Mr. A & I discover that you aren't a "gravy person" (and we have met such folks) then you just told us in so many words that you're not our type of people. Not saying you're a bad person, you're just not going to enjoy spending time at our house if you don't enjoy culinary indulgence.
Why not?
Because it's one of the ways I show affection. I'm Italian-Sicilian. We feed people. It's in the by-laws. Our DNA is composed of bread & butter, I'm sure of it. Instead of veins, we have angel hair pasta.
My favorite care packages contain food. At the bottom corner of the box you can find the secret ingredient... Love. Ahhh, it's cheesy but oh so true! Because it makes my heart warm & fuzzy every time I use the maple syrup made from trees in my mom's town, the blueberry preserves jarred two towns over, the Trader Joe's chocolate syrup & cheese doodles that Mr. A's mom sent.
Speaking of tasting the love, let's move onto some serious food matters...
Which one of these drool-worthy sweets should I bake first this year?
Yes, you're looking at...
I know, right?!?!
Don't forget to have a great day on purpose! (Don't ever give up sweets as a New Years resolution. Moderation is sugar's sweet best friend. And they get along splendidly.)
My whole life revolves around food... good food full of heart and love. I get stressed if I don't know where my next bit of food is going to come from!
ReplyDeletehmmm... which of those delectable desserts to bake.... I think the browned butter pizzookie, it looks divine and comforting!
I'm thinking that coffee cake needs to happen!
ReplyDeleteFeeding people = love.
So glad you enjoyed the pizzookie =D. Your cream cheese gems look awesome as well! Thanks for leaving me a comment about how you liked the recipe!
