…So be it. Maybe all this baking will quiet
the angry voices next door, if only
for a brief whiff. I want our summers
to always be like this—a kitchen wrecked with love,
a table overflowing with baked goods
warming the already warm air. After all the pots
are stacked, the goodies cooled, and all the counters
wiped clean—let us never be rescued from this mess.

love this expression of love and home
Me too Beth!
I’m 21 pounds down, the only choco I get is 2 pieces of choco a day! Not that type, I would go into sugar shock on the way to heaven eating one of those.
Sorry Melinda. But I can’t stop laughing… (Congrats on 21 down, that’s amazing!)
Two were from being sick!
Laughing!
They count!!!!! I’m still sick in that way!!!!! TMI but if the weight keeps coming off I’ll go for it for another week!
STILL LAUGHING! ROFL!
A kitchen wrecked with love 💖
And then some!
There is something so soothing about being in the kitchen, bowls and spices scattered about, the radio playing softly in the background, the dogs snoozing at my feet, hoping for the accidental drop. For me, the smell of garlic browning in butter can rectify most any situation. It brings me back to center and makes me feel cosseted in a way that few things can….
There. Here. Your Magic with Words. Just incredible.
☺️☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lori, you have such a great way with words! So agree with you 🙂
Awww, thank you!
I adore this post. I smell the comforting goodness and love oozing out from that kitchen. And immediately I start thinking of how much I love cooking for beloved people, not sweets but oniony, garlicky , herb-infused veggies…. about the joy when everybody at table eats happily – and my ❤️ opens with gratefulness and joy.
Beautiful! Thanks Kiki!
My kitchen – and you’re welcome anytime…
Awwwww. Bucket list for sure.
We’ll leave a light on for you…
Excellent!
Been there a number of times, pal, and it’s just as wonderful, warm and welcoming as you’d imagine…❤️❤️
Awesome!!!!
Two beautiful writers I stumbled upon this week, Bell Hooks earlier this week. Been sitting in her company in 2 of her books. And now Aimee.
I think this is what the world needs now.
This is the side of reality I can handle.
Not stress, pandemic views, chip shortage and why the car I want to buy is not in stock, or the housing market bubble. All this puts me in the eye of a tornado where I’m still but everything around is going crazy.
This here puts my feet on the ground.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. We’ll put our feet by yours on the same ground.
