chocolate, and the Veto.
We made hundreds of fondant dipped Callebaut chocolates here today. Seven women, nine small children, and one large golden retriever. It was great. Few things are more satisfying to me than having people in my home and feeding them. I inherited this trait from my parents, and from theirs... I wasn't exactly serving meals today, but the volume of yummy food we made and tasted was enough to trick my 'feed people' gene into feeling very satisfied indeed. I am thankful for Cavell, who gave up her day to help and teach us. And I am so happy to have countless cherry, orange, and almond chocolates I can share this Christmas.
Now for the Veto. How can I describe to you the bizarre and hilarious 'voice' and matching 'personality' Mary does now and then... If you are lucky enough to be near this charming girl, maybe you can ask for a taste. She makes me laugh so hard I am crying, and can go on as long as she likes, producing tears of mirth in her often serious mother whenever she sees fit. In this routine, I am called 'The Veto', and she is, naturally 'The Veto's Favorite'. Kirby is 'The Van', Jack is 'Milk', and little Emma is aptly named 'Sweetie'. It would really be fruitless for me to even try passing on the laughs, but I have to pass on the tale... I am blessed to have a girl who is dramatically talented and loves making us laugh together.
xo Mary!
