When I was about Harry's age I was photographed in my highchair, licking angel food cake batter off an electric beater tine. My brother, who is 18 years my senior, is also in the shot, greedily licking at the sweet goop. I made the world's finest chocolate chip cookies last night (not my recipe so I can brag -- secret ingredient? Sea Salt and 24-hour refrigeration, published this year in the NYT), introducing Harry at long last to the simple pleasure of cookies and milk. His reaction was a very pure "mmmmmmmmm." This picture reminds me very much of that day, let's see...38 years ago. All that's missing is uncle Doug. He's coming to visit for Thanksgiving. Maybe we can coerce him into a little cookie batter love fest while he's in town.

Mmmm, cookie dough, mmmmmm, don't we all want to lick that bowl! It was a favorite pleasure for me when I was a kid too. Love, z
