I idled away another lazy Sunday in mid Autumn, shuffling slowly to and fro over the warm tiled floor of the kitchen downstairs. Heavily scented peanut butter biscuits emerged from the oven with a heat like the suns embrace. I lifted the tray of tender golden nuggets to my bossom and bathed in the heady aroma of freshly baked butter-filled cookies. If I were to die tonight, I should be so happy as to have my coffin filled with these.
