I’m back — THANKS!

October 20, 2008 | Filed Under Baking 

 

Hi everyone!

I’m back!   ;-)   

While I was recuperating from my surgery, I want to thank all those who helped me out as guest bloggers — Mischief Mari of Cha no ma-ri, Layla of Laylita’s Recipes, Simona of Bricole, Ilva of Lucullian Delights, Elizabeth of The House in Marrakesh and About New York, Sra of When My Soup Came Alive, Kalyn of Kalyn’s Kitchen, Haalo of Cook (almost) Anything at Least Once, Lydia of The Perfect Pantry, Rebecca of From Argentina with Love, Christine of Christine Cooks, Amy of The Heart of a Seed, and Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict.   Everyone readily agreed to help me, without hesitation.  I appreciate it so very much, especially since I know you’re all very busy.   Thank you so very much!

Thank you to the readers who stopped by here with kind comments and get well wishes.  Also, thanks to those who emailed me privately.  I think your good wishes did the trick in helping me feel much bettter, real fast. 

I can’t thank you all enough.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I’m feeling much better now and have returned to work.  I’m still a bit tired but I think that’s just my body getting used to more physical activity and all.  

For my first post back, I wanted to share the cookies that I’d ordered from Mischief Mari.  She really does make the coolest cookies on the planet.  When I saw the presidential candidate Barack Obama cookies that she’d designed on her blog, I knew my mom would love them and decided to order them for her.  She did love them.   She shared them with her friends and they loved them, too.

Mari also designed some very nice presidential candidate John McCain cookies.  She’s so talented.

I’m so glad that I feel well enough to enjoy Mischief Mari’s cookies.  Not only do they look good, they taste good, too.  Thanks, Mari!

And thank you all, again, for your support and well wishes.

Paz

    Oh, goodie, you’re back! Was starting to wonder how you were getting along.

    Remember to be a bit selfish and do a lot of self-care while you get used to bustling about again. It’s hard to get from here to there in NYC, do take it easy.

    SO happy to see you back.
