Do you ever think about slowing down? Sometimes I forget to do just that when it feels like I wake up, rush to work, rush home (Even though I am probably sitting in traffic both ways.) walk Margeaux, figure out what to have for dinner and then it's time for bed and to do it all over again.
It's hard being in a city where everyone always gives the appearance to be in hurry, where people are racing down the roads, walking, what my husband would call "DC pace," from place to place. I sometimes forget how much of hurry, let's go, world we live in until I go home to North Carolina or like this fall spend three weeks on and off in Park City, UT. It has made me want to spend even just a few minutes each day taking a slower pace or going on longer walks with Margeaux to enjoy the beauty in the everyday little things.
Being gone for so long has also made me crave a home cooked meal, and has made me want to bake. Not just crank a cake out overnight, but be creative. I haven't gotten too just yet, but I did get to make some spicy cheddar crackers and some salted butterscotch chocolate chip cookies for a bride this past week. And let me let you in on a little secret...you thought salt and chocolate went well together...salt and butterscotch chips are better. So putting both in this cookie was pretty dang delicious, definitely one of the best cookies I have eaten in a while! So give these soft chewy cookies a try and enjoy! By the way, please, please eat one warm...maybe served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
