I am driving home from Seattle, fully aware that after a few days of truffle gnocchi, sautéed wild mushrooms, hot beignets, coconut-curry chocolate chunks, BBQ pork, 3-cheese baguette, Indian dosa, baklava and more ... it is time to slow down and lose a few pounds.
I can do it.
I am determined.
Salads. Green smoothies. No sugar. A daily hike.
I can do it. Starting ... right now.
A little while later, I pick up my kids so that we may head home for an afternoon of Mother's Day sweetness.
Marco gets in the back of the car, carrying a huge chocolate cake he just made. For me.
He is beaming.
And so, without waiting to get home, I turn around and run my finger along the edge of his beautiful creation and get myself a mouthful of chocolatey gooey Mother's Day.
