Poet
Pablo Neruda wrote, “Laughter is the language of the soul.” When was the last
time you laughed? Can you remember when you last laughed so hard that your face
and your stomach ached, when tears rolled down your cheeks?
If
you can’t immediately recall when laughter burst from your smile, then you need
to stop by Bea’s Bakery in Mystic Water and order at least a half dozen Oreo
truffles.
If
you haven’t closed your eyes, leaned back your head, and felt a laugh rise from
deep in your belly, felt a laugh so big you couldn’t contain it, then you might
want to order a dozen Oreo truffles.
Anna
from The Baker’s Man makes these
truffles on a weekly basis for those of us who feel trapped beneath rain
clouds, whose feet have begun to drag, who stare out windows lost in thoughts
bluer than a sapphire.
