Sending love and hugs
All week I have been trying to think of the right words to say. Honestly, I’m still not sure I even know the right thing to say to address the things that have been happening lately…but I will try to keep it simple. Just to be clear-this is not a political post.
Why Is My Name Milk And Madeleines?
Here we are, just ten days short of a month since I registered Milk And Madeleines, and I have remained somewhat anonymous since I started. How rude of me. Let me introduce myself.
Sweet Procrastination…Sort Of.

All day, I had been desperately trying to figure out why I had been cursed with a case of writers block. I came up with the following:
1. My town is experiencing a heat wave
2. My house does not have any air conditioning
3. My thoughts are unorganized
Tonight, I spent several hours outdoors (after cooking out, of course.) I took all of my productivity tools and Macbook outside, lit a citronella candle, and created something that I hope will make my life easier: a personal food critiquing rubric.
I realize that not many people would be excited by something like this, but I hope that this top secret writing tool will help me to deliver better material to this site. Meaning: no more excuses and boring blog posts, like this one.
Now that I am armed with my critiquing rubric, I can organize the information I gathered on my day trip this past weekend, and finally post the much anticipated recap of my experiences.
No more excuses.
