The reason so many ppl enjoy your writing, I believe, is you write in a way that no matter how similar or different they are from you, they will be able to relate in some form or another...a rare gift, indeed, my friend!Dawn Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115709454942684141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253835380551102822.post-41727571172222757812012-01-19T16:03:04.458-08:002012-01-19T16:03:04.458-08:00Varda, we have a kinship of sorts, I felt while re...Varda, we have a kinship of sorts, I felt while reading this, as I too, absolutely love to bake & MUCH more so than regular cooking.<br />I love to try a new recipe & then I really enjoy baking something & it being good enough to become a member in my recipe file box that a friend got me for a bridal gift many years ago. I was ecstatic that it was empty & would have only what I would choose to put in it..only the best of the best I decided would make it.<br />Now, my favorite baking for as long as I can remember, is taking something that already looks or reads as if it would be scrumptious & changing out several of the ingredients, making it mine somehow. I also prefer to bake as healthy as seems reasonable for the item to hopefully be as good as the original version would have been, or at least close enough & in particular hear Jim say, "Dawn (or babe) THIS is delicious!"<br />So, we both cook for ourselves & for others. We both get a thrill when something turns out as we hoped, & will continue if not good enough too. <br />I never tire of reading anything you write about & feel I can somehow relate to almost every subject in some way, despite the fact that I'm neither Jewish, nor have a single child (although wanted a few children at a time a few years back).<br />I guess it boils down to you being yourself, always, & I feel that in everything I have read that you have written.<br />Again, I write well done, & thank you for sharing a part of you, as that's what I think it is every time.Dawn Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115709454942684141noreply@blogger.com
