Sweet Gifts

This is a public thank you from my girls to Miss Sara, their favorite baker and originator of the world famous "Darling Tea".

Over the past few years, we have avoided foods made from gelatin, and for the most part our kids are happy to comply....with one exception: the much longed for marshmallow. The stuff of campfire s'mores, rice crispy treats and early trips to the dentist's office is really the only item that my kids show a sense of regret over not tasting anymore. Enter Miss Sara--candy thermometer in hand and clothed in a stylish apron, she has worked tirelessly to create that which seemed to be impossible, really: the gelatin-free marshmallow.
Last night, after a few tries over the past months, she did it. Now, she will tell you that it was a less than optimal outcome...but the girls tried them today, and gave them a hearty thumbs-up. Thank you, and we love you!
