"a good thing"

As Martha Stewart would say, this is a very "good thing." And she should know since this is her product


I was SO ecstatic when my neighbor Leah told me about the new foil & parchment paper in one and even more excited when she brought me a box! 


For as long as I could remember, I've been wrapping food in parchment or wax paper, then in aluminum foil. There's something about aluminum foil touching anything that really makes me cringe - - maybe because I'm always afraid of a piece of it attaching to the food and if you take a bite from that and have a cavity, eek! 


Well, another job well done Ms. Stewart! 
Another Thanksgiving is approaching and another holiday season - so very exciting! It's my favorite time of year, but I can't think of many people who don't like this time of year. I also can't think of anyone who doesn't put more weight on being thankful than during this week leading up to Thanksgiving. It's unfortunate that people tend to not think about what they are grateful for unless they have a reason to. I try to think about something daily that I am happy is in my life. Sometimes, it's the only thing that helps me through a bad day... I'm unhappy about work, but grateful that I'm not unemployed - - for example (and sometimes that is exactly what I am saying to myself). 

While I've been busy doing a little resolution/blog called fifty2cookies.com, 2011 is coming to a close and I need an excuse to post more pictures of my baked goods and other food and other things I like and ... well the list goes on. I suppose I want a documentation of everything in one spot so here it goes! 

But mostly for me what it all comes down to is goodness. I feel very fortunate to have a lot of goodness in my life and for that, I am grateful and want to spread it - whether through stories I've read, pictures I took, experiences I've had, places I've been - - you get the drift. 

Here's to goodness, all around!
