On the Syllabus

I was a college English textbook editor for eight years. Yes, I'm a baker and a grammar weenie, so you can come to me for cookies or for a refresher on how to use semicolons. Today, Evelyn, a former author of mine who is a professor at a university in Texas, emailed me to say:

“Greg: Now that summer is here, I finally got a chance to peruse your blog. It's a wonderful example of how to develop an attractive, fun, and informative blog. I'm going to bookmark it for my students as an example of a great blog to emulate.”

Hi, Evelyn! Thanks so much for sharing my blog with your students. I'll have to come up with a Texas-themed cookie for you all. Stay tuned!

Hi, Anna! All good suggestions. My Hot(ter) Chocolate cookie might work for a Texas-themed cookie. It's got a chocolate base and two layers of heat: warm cinnamon and hot cayenne pepper. It's really, really good! But I think I've got to come up with something a little different...something chocolaty and smoky? I'll have to do some research on what fruits/nuts are native to Texas. Hmmm...maybe I could do a whole series of state-based cookies. I've already got cookies for Florida and California...
