We needed something "from the goody basket" all the time. During card games, before dinner, after dinner...it was always easy to catch someone chewing as they left that corner of the kitchen.
As I was packing for the holiday weekend yesterday, I realized I had my own goody basket, except my goodies are crafts. It is brimming with all the projects I want to work on over the 4th.
The only thing it is missing is a box of Junior Mints!

Ah, that's what grandmothers were for - treats. I had a step-nanna who would have us over for dinner on Sunday after church. She always had cream cakes and chocolates and things that we rarely had at home. She was a rather large lady - about 300 lbs! My mother told me that she ate a whole block of chocolate in bed every night while reading her book.
Of course these days we're all watching our weight and those days seem to have passed us by so I understand the junior mints! One of my favourites is licorice allsorts - I could eat those all day.
I think that cooking and baking is a wonderful way to spoil someone. Yea for your step-nana! Sweet treats are what people remember!
