Laowai

It’s a chilly rainy day. A good day to introduce Claire to Grandma Dice’s molasses cookies. Oh there is nothing like the smell of those cookies – when the molasses hits the cinnamon, cloves and ginger – it just fills me with a warm feeling of home. They give me such a sense of contentment I get lulled into the idea that they are pure goodness for my children. I mean I almost forget that they are cookies, that they are made of butter and sugar not carrots and broccoli.
