Hailey just knocked into the "study" with a gooey warm bar of buttery raisins....as far as I'm concerned there's nothing better than a six-foot-tall Tim-Hortons loving, Canadian (perhaps that's redundant) flatmate armed with a good ol' North American classic. Banana pancakes and cheap maple syrup, cookies & cappuccinos and sweet cornbread have often given us the little excuses we need to chat for a while and indulge just a bit. Sure they're simple, and generally "just" from the increasingly ragged cookbook her boyfriend conveniently just-so-happened to have left behind, but it's these recipes that have created the greatest treats: Longer-than-intended chats on the counter, lazy weekend mornings and the little knocks at the door followed by a breeze of sweet air, a tasty hot something and a good friend. It is in this way that I have come to better understand and sincerely appreciate the Joy of Cooking.
