In the midst of this week's hurricane of news, I am hanging out in the quiet eye, working on Thanksgiving recipes and live events, and wonder...is there a side-dish, pot-luck, hosting question you have? Please lmk.

Surprise! Publishing a book isn't always non-stop glamor-a-go-go. You put your baby into the world and "whee!" and then (unless you shoot to the top of the bestseller list) it can get a bit quiet. Which is why when a neighbor comes over w copies of your book to sign, it really makes your day.

Would you buy a cookie that cost 12.99? And why do that if you can have a whole cookbook (mine: The Secret Life of Chocolate Chip Cookies) of chocolate chip cookie recipes for twice the price?!

Timeline break for Monday AM.
Remember: We have cookies. And if you get my new cookbook, you’ll have 60 different options. And yes, I do prefer to bake in a big ol’ comfy men’s undershirt. Share my post and share cookies!

Seeing an event for my book in the window of my favorite bookstore kind of undid me!
