long island for a year

In this post I won't be writing anything about motherhood - which rhymes with Robin Hood, did you ever think about that? Here are the pictures from the Mother's Day Tea at Carlotta's pre-school: I did enjoy it. I do believe that my four year old understands what it's meant with the words "I love you, mommy!"...   I had to bring my favorite cup of tea Cookies, love of mine!   And enjoy the treats my daughter was getting for me It was hard to keep the tears from falling (tears of joy, damn cookies what are you doing to me?!).

On Saturday it was snowing on Long Island, too. This is probably a snow landscape I hadn't seen before, even if there were snowy winters in Venice when I was a kid - and this year too, to tell the truth. Have a look at this ...isn't it amazing? Very beautiful pics of the snow on Long Island were posted by Bill Drago on The Long Island Blog . What am I doing while the snow is still on the ground? Bake cookies: I took the chance to try a recipe I got from my friend Marge. Usually I am very experimental with sweet stuff, which means everything turns out a bit different from expected...and actually I did add a secret ingredient. Still, these cookies will be renamed "Marge's cookies", because I like the idea that there is a person behind every recipe.
