I needed to fill the house with warming spices, the sort that
remind me of home, of my parent’s kitchen around the holidays. Of Ollie’s
domain. We still had that party, so I wiped my eyes, reapplied makeup, stepped
into my new gown and put a smile on my face.
But the next morning, I set about creating a new gingerbread
recipe, packed with cinnamon, ginger and cloves, the sort of heavenly, holiday
spices sure to help bolster my spirits. Something about the process of baking,
my apron dusted with flour, always seems to cheer me up. Maybe it helps to fill
a little bit of that void. At the very least, it’s hard to accurately measure
baking ingredients while teary, so maybe the process is just a good
distraction.
