Dear Suzi,
It's one of those evenings where I just want to watch fresh bread baking in the oven . . . but not make it; have the fire gently dancing in the hearth, candles lit
around the house because the electricity went out, run some warm water for a bath and wishing no one was home so the bathroom door could be left open to enjoy the fire and smell
the bread baking — that I didn't make.
Sound good to you, too?
Dear Julie,
I'll say it sounds good! I can almost smell it baking now.
I'll have a slice while it's still warm, spread it with soft butter and let it melt in. I wouldn't mind having some of
grandma's homemade gooseberry jam on it, too.
Grandma's gooseberry jam was dad's favorite of all her jams. I remember the last time she gave us a jar, dad treasured
it. Remember, he would only share a small taste of it with us because he wanted to make it stretch as far as possible. Mmmm, it was good.
Thanks for the treat — even if you didn't
bake it.
