In my oven

I finally got a pan full of pieces ready to bake. I took this picture before I had it full, but now all of them are in my oven, curing.

The need to do something new, something different, is driving me crazy; but I can't think of what that is! Maybe it's winter, and the prediction of more snow tomorrow....? Then there is the prediction of temperatures in the 50s for the weekend - what a roller coaster this winter has been!

Starfish Story
Once a man was walking along a beach.
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide.

The man was struck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached, the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf.

As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference to that one!"
