(read on) we started a cookie journal where we capture the date, occasion, guests in our house, who helped, what we did different, along with ratings of the dough at each stage and the cookie along with what was best about the whole experience. journaling cookies has taught me several things, including: 1. We don't spend true quality time with kids as often as we think we do. (judge by the dates in the journal) 2. Kids find what is meaningful in the mix/preparation/experience far better than adults 3. Kids don't care if they offend you the overall lesson: spend quality focused effort finding what is meaningful all the while not caring who you offend in the process. This will always find you closer to pure genius. my kids love to make cookies. (read on)

journaling cookies has taught me several things, including:
1. We don’t spend true quality time with kids as often as we think we do. (judge by the dates in the journal)
2. Kids find what is meaningful in the mix/preparation/experience far better than adults
3. Kids don’t care if they offend you

the overall lesson:
spend quality focused effort finding what is meaningful all the while not caring who you offend in the process. This will always find you closer to pure genius.

I will make a cookie for everyone who signs up at launch and shows up at our office. How's that for committed? :) Coda: the pizza's a different thing. Wait until I get to that wood-fired brick oven goal -- then it will be good. But thanks! Jeff: Yes. I will make a cookie for everyone who signs up at launch and shows up at our office.
