Day 42 ~ Cookies

This morning I stopped by a bakery that sells the best Russian tea cookies I've every tried. I don't fall for sugar, but I love baked flour in all forms. Sweet and savory, flaky or compact. During my pregnancy the only craving I ever had was for a particular kind of puff pastry from my childhood. Surprisingly, it was not one that I ate very often, but one that had a lot of flour. I remember looking in my kitchen pantries for something similar, but nothing satisfied my appetite. My mom had to mail me a box. They arrived all crumbled but no problem, I happily spooned them all out from their individual plastic compartments. Empanadas, Spanakopita, puff pastry, croissants, palmiers, shortbread, tarts. Bring 'em on!
