happy hour: celebrity cookbook, hometown edition

This makes me so happy. A few weeks ago I received a letter from my grandma with this newspaper inside labeled “Celebrity Cook Book”. I flipped through it and on the last page there’s an article about my mom and her love of cooking. It’s accompanied by a big picture of her and me in the kitchen.

My mom passed away 10 years after this article was written and about 4 years before I became interested in cooking, so it was especially fun to read about the things she liked to cook. She always told me that one day I’d love to cook and of course, she was right. The article even said back then I liked to bake, something I don’t remember. I think a sweet tooth runs in the family.

The celebrity cookbook was just a nice little suprise that brightened my day. Now I have to get to baking! I hope you have a fantastic fall weekend.
