These cookies will chase the clouds away

Above : New Zealand’s Milford Sound is often shrouded in clouds.

As time goes on, I seem to develop more and more ties to New Zealand. My former Bloomberg Government colleague, Chelsea Stone, hails from there. Her sister, the food blogger Delaney Mes , lives in Auckland. And my friend and former Spokesman-Review colleague, Dan Mitchinson , recently moved to the southern tip of the South Island .

Maybe it’s time to make a return trip myself.

Ah, but while I’m seeing if that can somehow be arranged while I’m still ambulatory, I want to share the latest post from Delaney Mes’ blog, Heartbreak Pie. It’s a cookie recipe that I’m going to squirrel away for a special weekend.

One that will see me munching on cookies as I dream again of, mmmm, Milford Sound.
