Why do I do this?

The next question is: "Why would you do this???"

Well-that's simple. Cooking or baking - and doing it well- brings joy to people. Each of those little morsels I send give people a little moment in their day to savor something a little special. You pop a little bite size flavor cube in your mouth and think its going to be something ordinary and what you experience is maybe "oh-that's rosemary with the chocolate" or "wow-there's pepper in there" or "I thought this was a wedding cookie-but it has coconut and lime". the list goes on-they surprise and hopefully delight.

To not do them would mean that I would have missed an opportunity to spread some happiness. They are my way of sending a smile and a sense of caring. IF you received my cookies-I am hoping you will experience, smile through and enjoy each little one.

And that is yet another reason I make them small. You should be left wanting another one-not feeling burdened by the cookie sitting in front of you that is giant size.

If you have a talent-it is wise to exploit-particularly if it makes people happy!

And that is the point of my diva classes. I try to impart on every person that comes a sense of food and making food for others that will bring joy to the recipient as well as the giver. for ultimately-it is a selfish thing that I do-because it makes me happy too!

My mother was going to name me Joy-but my grandmother stepped in and asked her to name me Judy-I would have liked to have been named Joy. However the cat got that name instead. :>.
