Sailing through Coral Gables yesterday morning, I picked up this week’s CSA farm box to find tomatoes, greens, bok choy, avocado, sugarcane, and the first of the eggs:

My friends Jenne (here, Skyping with a friend in France) and Jess came over to help with the greens and make Abba gingerbear cookies:

Our friend Pilar arrived with dulce de leche pastelitos from Half Moon, the empanada shop she owns with her husband Juan. Pilar demonstrated how she refrains from eating these wonderful pastelitos all day long–

Jenne styled Pilar at an angle,

and these three friends laughed as we collected the requisite props for a flying trapeze outing…

Jess took to the air with her usual spirited energy;

I was happy that my pink tinsel hair swung with me:

Jenne and Jess danced through downtown Miami,

and I felt grateful for the amazing, silly, strong women I call friends here–

   Gingerchichillas are the next big thing. In holiday cookies. What a fun day, and thanks for bringing your baking supplies, and more importantly, skills, Jess—
