one chocolate+orange cookies morning story

Last sunday, we fell asleep in front of the fireplace in the room with big windows, and woke up with the ’sunlight shower’ and it just put me in a instant super good mood, just like wall-e when taking his morning sun recharge :) So before anything else, I took a walk around the garden and taking my dose of morning sun, that did not last so long since everything looked so nice that I just really have to start ‘macro-ing’, that did not last so long either since everybody started to wake up and having this we-are-so-hungry face. There were lots of oranges and some left over of dark chocolate, so I decided to make chocolate+orange peel cookies :)

Then boys+girls started to ‘attack’ me in the kitchen, as they could not wait for the cookies and started to attack all the other salty snacks, that I was forced to make a quick fix: moist+sweet pancake (hhhh….e, be patient…)

but I think it was sweet moment too: sun+friends makes the kitchen feel even more wonderful! Marco helped me taking photos when my hands were full of flour and all and he even took one of erica and me making cookies+dancing in the sunlight :)

By the time the cookies were ready, it was like lunch time, we were all sitting on the grass in the garden, having cookies+milk, staring at the blue blue sky. No words.

Perhaps it is a slow story of cookies, but life tastes better when enjoyed slowly :)
