It's been almost two years since I made a batch of cinnamon-chai oatmeal cookies, packed with cinnamon morsels that I stock up on when they are seasonally available. Last Sunday evening, as I turned to a larger-sized scoop, they were generously proportioned and lovely to behold. I was bringing out the last pans when that evening offered a supremely awesome bonus: a long catch-up conversation with my University of Virginia compatriot Alicia, with whom I hadn't spoken since she headed home to California over 25 years ago. It was better than any cookie! Still, those baked beauties slid nicely into small snack baggies so that I could take a supply with me for my school visits to start this past week. The large pile-on-a-plate approach from past work trips has been modified by the pandemic trauma and all the flu that's rampaging this winter as well...I think we all feel better when extra food safety precautions are in play!
