I decided to make some goodies for Will’s teachers at school on Thursday. I baked off and on the whole day. Despite the fact that the dishwasher in the rental house is simple for decoration, I baked away and tried to not let it put a damper on something I love to do. At the end of the day I had made a ZILLION (ok, probably about 6 dozen which is pretty close to a zillion, I think) pretzel cookies, Oreo balls, and “Quiet Bread.”
Quiet Bread is actually a term my cousin Paul made up when he was a kid. I guess he had only really had toast which is of course is crunchy, and when he ate this he commented it was “so quiet.” The name stuck and 12 years later the whole family refers to this as Quiet Bread. It’s actually a Pistachio bread with chopped maraschino cherries so it looks very festive and Christmas-y.
I would have loved to get some pictures of Will and the ladies that take such good care of him everyday, but alas, he was in a less than joyous mood when we delivered the treats and I was busier minding him than my camera. Oh well. point made. We are very thankful this year for Miss Amy & Miss Whitney who are his teachers in his current classroom, and Miss Julie and Jessi who were his teachers at the beginning of the school year.
