I’ve been in my new home on the other side of the country for over a week now. The feeling of surprise when I wake up in California is beginning to dissipate. Realizations that I lost an item in the move are thinning out.
Today I christened the kitchen by making my first real proper meal here and a batch of cookies to bring to my new neighbors. I felt grateful for my big dishwasher. Cooking has always been the thing that makes me feel grounded, the thing that makes a part of my brain click and realize the place I’m in is mine now.
I made my favorite simple chocolate chip cookie recipe and I thought I’d share it with you. They turned out LOVELY and I officially figured out how to use my oven’s timer.
