A Cut Above…

Recently I have been trying to get my college age grandson into baking. He referred me to your wonderful website and I was so amused by your plant shaped cookie cutters. Are those maple leaves? I bet they are. The fact that my dear grandson remembered that I was born in Toronto makes me happy.
I purchased several and when I showed them to Bobby (that’s my nephew’s name) he got right to cooking! It’s been so long since me and the kids got to baking in the kitchen! He even invited over friends. This grandma’s heart is so full! It also feels like it’s kind of beating fast. Whoa… I think my eyesight is improving too. I need to remember what sort of flour and eggs I used for my patented brownies (the kids call them Nana’s brownies). Bobby and his pals were nice enough to provide the rest of the ingredients. I never saw such young men so excited to cook!
When we were finished my brownies came out looking like magic maple leaves -Bobby’s friends giggled every time I called them that, I don’t know why- and they were almost instantly gone! Everyone has such a sweet tooth. Full confession, so do I. So naturally I snuck the biggest piece. It didn’t quite taste like my original recipe (couldn’t really put my finger on it) but it still tasted great. I still sorta’ taste it.
What a fun shape too…. Made me proud to be from Mother Canada… Canaaada… that’s a fun word…. Caaaaannnaaadaaa… Haha. Hey, this internet feels funny. Am I typing this ok? … I think my mousepad is melting… Mortimer? Mortimer is that you?
