The same expression and excitement appears right before you go on stage. The heavy red curtains hide the faces of an anxious crowd. You wait for the lights, and when they fire up, a sense of breathless awe captivates your mind in just a moment. And yet again that breathless sense of awe appears as you listen to or play an amazing composition of music. A college senior recital or an orchestral concert captivates both your eyes and ears. The music takes you on an adventure and you never leave your seat.
It may seem difficult to liken baking to any fantastic moments. But when you really think about the chemical reaction of baking, it is fantastic. It's that moment when a tray of raw cookie dough slides into the oven, and slides out soft, crisp, and chewy. At Great Harvest we have the most exciting cookies for this month.
Who knew that adding a half cup of roasted ground coffee beans to a chocolate chip cookie would create a taste of heaven? They're called mocha chocolate chip cookies. Their dark color gives them a warm personality. I find that everything we bake at Great Harvest has a personality. From the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, to the grainy, seed covered dakota bread, they give our costumers a wide range from which to choose.
Look for what brightens your day in just a moment. Captivate it and savor it. In this world where things change constantly, and you feel like a bubble surging down a drain pipe towards the ocean, it's good to stop and savor the precious moments around you.
Virginia Brasier
This is the age
Of the half-read page
And the quick hash
And the mad dash
The bright night
With the nerves tight
The plane hop
With the brief stop
The lamp tan
In a short span
The big shot
In a big spot
And the brain strain
And the heart pain
And the catnap
Till the spring snaps
And the fun's done.
