Memories
This time of year always brings them back. Especially baking, the smells and textures and tastes. I swear, when I made this year's gumdrop cookies, the smell brought me right back to childhood. I half expected to turn around around and see Grandma Tippie rolling cookies and telling me they needed more gumdrops. (Which they did.)
And then I was making a batch of fudge Saturday night for the Christmas get-together at Aunt Pat and Uncle Chuck's place yesterday. It felt so weird not to have a Meg there stealing my carefully toasted pecans and snickering at me while I made impotent threats and stirred molten chocolate!
