Cookie #2! Cranberry, White Chocolate, Macadamia. For those keeping score: there are 8 Cookies to go, 9 days left. Also I have a new book to write, two children and one super needy husband. Who will emerge victorious? #holidaybaking (at Park Slope Historic District)

Wishing everyone a peaceful Thanksgiving. It’s our fifteenth year hosting in Brooklyn and I’m grateful for that. I am grateful also for my amazing daughters and husband, brilliant friends, dedicated and generous colleagues, and the gift of getting to do what I love with my life—writing—even on the days it doesn’t exactly love me back. After what has been such a hard year for so many, here’s wishing us all brighter skies ahead.

In the meantime, I’m holding on to this: “An attitude for gratitude brings great things.” Yogi Bhajan. #thanksgiving #gratitude (at Park Slope Historic District)
