snow day treats.

hey neighbors,
i like it when there's a lot going on
inside of one fluted paper cup.

just layers of brown on brown on beige on brown on beige on brown,

there's a lot to be said for just doing what you do.
baking is sort of my thing still.
it takes a lot to get psyched on art,
it takes even more to get psyched on people,
but treats?
treats are straightforward and very very rewarding.
i like that.
a lot.
i'm putting pieces in order,
procedures in place,
and cookie crumbs on top.
baking makes the most sense sometimes.
proportions and pace, recipes and results.
you get back what you put in,
and you always get what you deserve.
snow days mean that anything can happen,
but hot ovens are a lot more reassuringly predictable;  
never quiet, never soft.....
