I'm going to have to try those out. If only I had pecans in my pantry, I'd be tempted to whip up a batch right now. Thanks, Eva! Mmm, those butter pecan cookies sound amazing.

I love that NY Times article about the best choc chip cookie, and I always sprinkle kosher salt on my cookies. My other favorite cookie recipe is from King Arthur Flour: Salty-Sweet Butter Pecan Cookies. Yummm! http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/salty-sweet-butter-pecan-cookies-recipe Yes!

I love to bake. I love to create recipes. I love to cook, also. I find some comfort in knowing that what I am making can sustain - providing they at least try it - those I love.I have yet to start the holiday baking but have friends coming over on Friday, a Christmas luncheon on Wed, and a party on Saturday. I will have to get cracking. I, too, am a baker. I love to bake. I love to create recipes. I love to cook, also.

But my kids love to bake and so we do and, I have to say, it's a lot of fun for them, never having to worry about sharing with me! Husband is another matter...

I love the END RESULT of baking but love the improv of cooking. It fits my style. Don't have to follow directions so closely, can make mistakes. I guess cooking is more the IM-perfectionist! That's me! BUT, maybe I should try throwing a little salt into my baking. I'm the one who always decides, eh, who needs the salt? I always TAKE OUT the salt. And I see that's a big mistake now. Maybe this is why my days don't always feel so balanced. I always take out the salt and leave the sweet. I'm sensing my days would be more fulfilled with the savory added back in. OK - I've taken this metaphor as far as I possibly can.Great post! I'm with Kitch here. I love the END RESULT of baking but love the improv of cooking. It fits my style.

I am so much like you and yet so opposite; you find comfort in the directions, the clarity of baking.I prefer cooking because I can just say "screw it all" and do whatever I think best.But the basic foundation is the same: we tie on the apron (or not) mix things together, hope for magic, and serve it up because we love.
