We all have our secrets. Mine isn’t so secret:
I love to bake. I mean I really love to bake. Perfecting
recipes, trying new ones, experimenting, testing, getting
it just right. It’s wonderful. For me, there’s
nothing like the smell of baking as it fills the house.
And few things give me the same kind of simple pleasure
and satisfaction as making something from scratch for
the people I care about most.
In November 2005, my husband and I
were getting ready to leave for a family ski trip to
Canada to celebrate Thanksgiving. Since we would be
away, I wanted to bring something homemade, and so I
baked my Double Chocolate Oatmeal Brownie Cookies and
Chocolate Mint Brownies to bring with us. Gently –
VERY gently – I put the cookies and brownies in
a large plastic container, delicately layering them
one on top of the other. Unable to find a lid for the
container, I left it to my husband, while I made sure
we were all packed and ready to go. Unable to find a
lid himself, he decided to put everything in storage
bags, which he then packed in his carry-on!
We made it to the airport and made the flight. Sometime
after take-off, I thought a cookie or two might be a
good idea. The mound of chocolate mush that I pulled
from his bag was unrecognizable. My cookies, my brownies…pulverized!
“My cookies!” A startled flight attendant
suddenly rushed up the isle, asking if I was okay. Embarrassed,
I told her I was fine. But I wasn’t. All my good
intentions were now crumbs. Feeling bad (and a little
scared), my husband promised that as soon as we got
back, he’d buy me an entire kitchen of storage
containers, every shape, every size, no expense would
be spared.
Now, besides loving to bake, I also enjoy meditating.
A short time after the plane incident, while meditating,
I had a vision. Well, a vision of sorts. It was more
of an image, an image of the most wonderful container:
one with trays that slide in and out and up and down,
ensuring perfect brownies would always stay perfect.
There would be no more need for layers of wax paper.
Kids (even husbands!) could be sent to school or work
or a family outing with cookies or cupcakes, any delicate
food, without the fear of the smoosh.
After a year of research and design, I am thrilled
to launch a modern baker’s new best friend –
