Dearest Marmee at Yuletide – 4oz

toasty kitchen + festive aprons + the smell of cookies + warm gingerbread

The cold and dark of year’s end is where you will find the warmest and brightest celebrations.  Even in the meanest of circumstances, gifts from the heart are joyfully made for loved ones far and near.  In a farmhouse kitchen near Walden pond,  the hearth is ablaze and the brick oven is made ready for holiday baking.  Marmee ties her apron and gathers stoneware bowls and baking pans onto the timeworn table. Gingerbread must be baked to send to Jo in New York. The old receipt is known by heart: a pinch, a scoop, a smidgen.
