My favorite memory is of helping my mom bake "Brown Cookies" on snow days. When there was a snowstorm and school was called off, my mother, who was a high school Home Economics teacher, would immediately get out her grandmother's recipe for soft molasses cookies. I was always fascinated by the jar of slow-moving molasses, the yellow measuring cups, and the point at which the dough became something delicious enough to taste. Mom insisted I use a clean spoon for each sample, so I would always end up using up all of the spoons in the silverware drawer.
