The cookies didn't turn out the best. The first batch was slightly undercooked, and the second was half burned. (I hate my new oven!) The third batch was inedible. In general I consider "It's the thought that counts!" shabby thinking and simple excuse making. If you're going to do something for someone, you should do it well.And yet too often I've failed to make a kind gesture because I'm concerned it won't be perfect. I mean, what if the family eschews white flour and refined sugar? What if? I'm done with that sort of worrying. The first batch I left on the cookie sheet, and they continued to bake. They weren't pretty, but I knew they would taste good.Eden's card, of course, is fantastic. I'm only going to add a small card listing our names with our home and mobile numbers. I know this isn't necessary, but I'd like them to know we're good for a cup of sugar or a tablespoon of garam masala.
