My dear friends. It's been a
while since I wrote my last blog..
And even though there are many juicy
reason why a fanatic writer (FANATIC not fantastic.... right Brian?)
like me allowed this to happened, I'll pretend I saw you all last
Saturday at the market.. and we are all still talking the same: what
is with these cookies that are so incredibly good?
LOVE!! That's what covers each one of
those Maitelates you see at Comet Coffee, at the Produce Station, at
the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market, at Zingerman's Mail Order, at the
Arbor Farms Market, at Every Day Wines.... at your place, inside your neighbor's son backpack, in the middle of the family table
getting ready for Thanksgiving day!!!!!
I know what you are thinking.... sticky yummy dulce de leche sandwiched cookies enrobed in the best chocolate
you've ever tasted? Right?? WRONG!!! Maitelates Alfajores are way
more than just that... close your eyes when you eat your next one,
and experience the love & fun we put in the mixer when we plan and made each one!
Believe me... without those two last
ingredients, we wouldn't bother... why bother!
Maitelates was born and is
today, a fantastic story with unique characters, beautiful locations
and never ending scripts, written by we all... and THAT'S what makes ME loving it!!!!
As you know, I
tattooed the name of the city where the whole Maitelates story
began on my wrist .... just to remember forever what I learned in my sweet Ann
Arbor: whatever you do, do it with your heart, do it with a smile...
life is too short to not live it that way!
GO MAITELATES!!!
FORWARD!!!!
I'll see you all in January!!!!
Maite
