Happy Food Post

So after my cracker rant on Wednesday, I feel inclined to counter-balance things. (However, thanks for all the sweet offers for Saltines from my neighbors. The next time a craving hits I know who to call). After all, not all food has been an enemy to me this week. There were a few bright spots, starting with:

• The dinner my sweet friend Maren brought over on Tuesday, "because she wasn't going to let me say no." It included homemade rolls. Enough said.

• My friend Maureen's deluxe wheat bread, with flax seed, walnut pieces, and cracked wheat she grinds fresh herself. Trust me, the picture doesn't do it justice.

• The first early crop of Costco strawberries. Don't even know how many of these I've eaten this week. Especially yummy on top of my cereal.

• Making Valentine's Sugar cookies with my boy's this afternoon. I believe enough frosting will cure anything. And we had some fun together (instead of Mommy lying on the couch moaning).

• And, to top it off, my Mom has promised a "traditional Grandma Rose dinner" when we come on Sunday. If your last name is or ever was Rose you KNOW how happy this is.
