What a difference a year makes...

Readers, how do I even thank you enough?  Where do I even start?

One year and one day ago, I posted a recipe I knew M and I loved and I figured you all would like a whole lot, too.  One year and one day later, that post has gotten nearly 1.6 million hits.  Yes--1,600,000-with seven places and five zeros.  I don't even know what to say.  In my three-and-a-half years of blogging, I'd barely topped 500,000 hits.  What a difference a year and a really good chocolate chip cookie recipe makes.

I know a simple thank you isn't even close to enough, but I'm afraid it's all I can really say from behind my laptop.  You've all taught me to dream bigger, push harder, and remember that even the simplest of things--chocolate chip cookies, a cup of coffee on a chilly morning, an afternoon spent snuggled under a blanket with someone you love--can sometimes bring the most comfort.  Readers, just like these cookies, you truly are the best ever.
